Great Attorney, Pleasant Staff, Professional

I have used Mr. Berry on two different occasions and both outcomes were wonderful. He handled my divorce in 2007 respectfully and his staff guided me through one of the hardest decisions of my life. Fast forward a few years in life, my business had taken the "winter downward spiral" and I was for...ced to BK to survive a basic budget. Not once did Mr. Berry or his staff make me feel guilty or like a failure. They were patient and understanding of all of my questions. He understands that unfortunate things happen to good people and made me realize that with a second chance, I could finally come out on top with my finances. Today, I am in a better place than I have every been and I'm so grateful that I was able to go through this process with Berry and Associates. They made it easy.

Handling everything

I was surprised by the divorce being filed. My ex wanted alimony, my retirement accounts and full custody. Matt Berry's team has set up a complete strategy and we are negotiating a settlement that is fair. They cared about my case and made it happen.

Guided me through a difficult divorce

I had an advantage...I am a lawyer myself and knew Matt professionally. When I needed divorce counsel, I called him. My divorce was difficult and, like most, emotionally charged. Matt was the ultimate professional and kept me focused on what was important. He helped find areas of compromise that help...ed speed the process and fought over what needed to be fought over. Recommend very highly

Guided me through a difficult divorce

I was referred to Matt Berry and the Berry Group by a family member who is also a lawyer. At our first meeting he answered all my questions and gave me what proved to be a very realistic projection. My divorce was difficult and, like most, emotionally charged. Matt was the ultimate professional and... kept me focused on what was important. He helped find areas of compromise that helped speed the process and fought over what needed to be fought over. Recommend very highly

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.

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.
