I am committed to working tirelessly for each of my clients and to obtaining the best possible outcome for their case or legal matter. I represent clients in metro Atlanta, north Georgia and Gwinnett County. I have an office conveniently located between the three main courthouses in Lawrenceville and have been practicing in Gwinnett County since 2007. Before entering the practice of law, I was a teacher and coach for several years. The organizational skills and attention to detail in teaching and coaching transferred well to the practice of law.
I am involved in my community in many different ways and, in 2009, I coached a nine year old football team in Suwanee and in 2010 I coached a fourteen year old basketball team in Lawrenceville. I was also the head coach of an eleven year old football team in Suwanee in 2010. Since then, I have also volunteered with an at-risk teen organization called STRAP, worked with the mock trial program in Gwinnett, and take several pro bono cases each year.
I hold a black belt teaching certificate in the art of Chinese Boxing and practice Tai-Chi, Wing-Chun and other arts of self-defense and self-actualization. I also play in a weekly basketball league, play beach volleyball in the summertime, and enjoy a variety of other activities, including swing dancing, ballroom dance, hiking, mountain biking, boating, waterskiing, and snowskiing. I attend a community Christian church and believe that most of the problems of mankind ultimately have a spiritual root cause and need a spiritual solution.
My first two years out of law school were spent working for a small firm that handled personal injury, family law, business law, and general practice and trial. For the next eight years I worked for larger firms as a real estate closing attorney and foreclosure attorney.
In 2007, I opened my own law firm, with a goal of helping people with their everyday problems. Since that time, I have handled hundreds of cases in the Gwinnett County, metro Atlanta, and North Georgia courts encompassing several areas in the practice of law, with a focus on criminal defense, traffic tickets and personal injury.

Mr. Berry is great!! From the beginning to the end he showed true dedication, support, attentive-ness, & hard work towards my case.

I came to Mr. Berry's office not knowing who he was or anything about him. When I arrived at his office and met him, I found him to be very cool, calm, and confident about his knowledge of the dui laws in Ga. The most important thing I was looking for in an attorney was his blunt honesty, this allowe...
