Best personal injury lawyer BY FAR!

I had the pleasure of using Shelley when I was rear ended and she by far exceeded my expectations! I am recommending her to everyone I can! The best lawyer I have ever used. She is very communicative with the process and a true expert in her field. If you need a lawyer she is the one to call!

Best Personal Injury Lawyer!!!

Shelley Swain Berry and her team were the most amazing team to work with. They kept us apprised of all aspects of the case from the beginning to the end. Shelley had been in an accident too, so I knew she'd fight hard for us. It was nice to have a lawyer who understood what we were going through. ... Her compassion shined through and I truly couldn't have asked for a better lawyer to handle our case.

Extremely knowledgeable

This lawyer was an all around blessing to our family. She told us what to expect and when.. she was honest and upfront. The fact she has been through a similar situation really allowed her to relate to us. Thank you, Shelley!

Avvo Rating

Our Rating is calculated using information the lawyer has included on their profile in addition to the information we collect from state bar associations and other organizations that license legal professionals. Attorneys who claim their profiles and provide Avvo with more information tend to have a higher rating than those who do not.

What determines Avvo Rating?
  • Experience & background Years licensed, work experience, education
  • Legal community recognition Peer endorsements, associations, awards
  • Legal thought leadership Publications, speaking engagements
  • Discipline Disciplinary information may not be comprehensive, or updated. We recommend that you always check a lawyer's disciplinary status with their respective state bar association before hiring them.
