Posted by Mike | April 04, 2025 | Hired Attorney | Social Security Disability

They have done great for me so far!

I’m not sure what the other reviews are about… but, honestly. I appreciate them working on the backend for me and requesting an appeal and a court hearing. With all the medical issues I’ve been having and day to day things interfering, I have very much neglected a little bit on keeping contact. But h...owever, they are consistent and will work silently on your behalf. I am very grateful and hopeful for our court hearing coming up. They don’t just give up & that means a lot. We’ve got denied TWICE, yet they are still here along the way. And willing to prove my case. So I will give them 100% a 5-Star rating. At times it may seem like “nothings happening” or you haven’t heard from them in a while, but it’s worth the patience and wait. I Will update once we are approved after court . But currently, I’m happy for all that’s been done!

Began representing me without my consent

After a brief consultation with a representative of theirs I elected to file my SSDI request for reconsideration on my own after reaching out to my providers for additional documentation. I never agreed to have this firm represent me and I received mail from my local social security office claiming t...his firm is representing me by submitting a request for reconsideration on my behalf without my consent. My calls to their offices have since gone unanswered.

Disability Bench Approval

I hired Matthew Berry & Associates to handle my disability case that was at the ALJ level approximately 2 months before my court date. He and his staff took care of getting everything that was needed and having it in order for court. The staff that I dealt with were curtious, caring and thorough. At ...the hearing ALJ rendered a full approval which is very rarely done. Thank you Mr. Berry and staff for doing such a great job. I will definitely recommend this office to people I know.

Thanks to the Berry and Assoc. firm

Just recently the SSA approved my disability claim. Regardless of how the decision went, I felt supported and kept up the speed during the entire long process. I would give 2 thumbs up to Mr. Berry and all those on his staff.

Long unhappy and unsuccessful ss disability and SSI CLAIM -DENIED 3 TIMES

I hired Ken Nugent initially and after about a month received a letter stating he had to turn his disability cases to Matt Berry and Associates. I have gotten all the records I have possibly given them and information to get records I have failed back surgery syndrome. Bulging discs in my lower back.... Have had 5 surgeries in less than 3 years. I suffer from major depression disorder l since 1995. I have tried to commit suicide and have been hospitalized for suicidal thoughts about 4 times. I have PTSD AGORAPHOBIA,PANIC AND ANXIETY DISORDER. I can't do simple household tasks without asistancn. I have been waiting for over 3 years and finally got a hearing in front of a judge who again denied my claim. I have been unsuccessful in getting better physically and my chronic pain is making my depression worse. Plus I've just had all my teeth pulled. I AM PHYSICALLY UNABLE DO ANY KIND OF GAINFUL EMPLOYMENT. I don't know what this law office has done for. Not much it seems and I am devastated. I was counting on this money to support me and my daughter. I am livid and disappointed with its law firm because I believe they sat on their asses and didn't do a complete job to get my disability started

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.

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.
