I cannot say enough great things about Berry & Berry. I reached out to them regarding my security clearance, and I knew I was in good hands from the beginning. Both John Berry and Todd Hull took the time to truly understand my situation and provided clear, actionable advice throughout the entire process. The entire firm was always prompt with communication, incredibly knowledgeable about the law, and showed a level of professionalism that put me at ease.
Not only was John Berry diligent in handling every detail, but he also worked very hard to ensure a positive outcome. He kept me informed at every step, explaining complex processes and legal terms in ways I could easily understand, which made a stressful situation feel much more manageable.
What truly stood out to me was his compassion and dedication. John showed genuine care about my situation and went above and beyond to provide support.
If you are looking for a firm that is not only incredibly skilled but also trustworthy, responsive, and compassionate, I highly recommend Berry & Berry. I would not hesitate to work with them again in the future.
When I started my litigation against my employer I was unable to find representation in my local area as I worked for a government institution. I was desperate having never been in a situation of this magnitude. Upon calling the firm the staff listened and guided me to one of the most effective attorney I could ever imagine. The dignity afforded me and her extensive knowledge of federal law was unparalleled. Ms. Watkins is a GEM. She was upfront forthcoming and forthright. When she surmised and articulated salient facts, she just Got It. I would hire HER again. If you find yourself in litigation with the US Government, Department of Defense she is the attorney to consult with.
“Highly recommend Berry & Berry. Kimberly Berry picked up a tremendous mess (from previous attorney) of a case that was about to expire. She not only picked it up but revived it and was able to arrange a settlement after many months of stagnation. I can’t thank her enough for her professionalism, tenacity and timeliness throughout. Thank you Berry & Berry for your EXCELLENT service!”
“John Berry and Aidan Connor! Security Clearance GRANTED! IF I COULD GIVE AN INFINITE AMOUNT OF STARS I WOULD. If moving mountains was a thing that men could actually do, they can do it! My situation was definitely difficult and one for the books. I mean a checkered past for sure. Recovered from it and actually walk the walk. Just the same, very CHECKERED! They are professionals, they are knowledgeable, and they really took the time and care my case needed. I was going to be denied and I truly believe if I had not put them on the job I would be! I am cleared NEVER TO WALK THAT OLD PAST AGAIN but these guys made it happen, truly eternally grateful! Praise God and KEEP MOVING MOUNTAINS Gentlemen!”
“Attorney Todd Hull and his team at Berry & Berry were fantastic. I had an issue with my security clearance that was favorably and quickly adjudicated. Todd walked me through the process, set reasonable expectations, told me what documents to request and was often the voice of reason when I was understandably a little angry sometimes. More importantly, he took the draft response I had written and all the documents I provided and turned it into a crushing response that blew the government’s case to pieces. He told me to expect a response in 3-4 months and that I would probably have to go to court to get a fair shake and hope for a favorable outcome. Two weeks after submitting my response, I received word that my clearance had been reinstated. This would not have happened without his excellent work. I also think he was extremely fair about billing. I feel he produced a product that required more hours than he billed. He’s a great attorney and I’m so glad I found him.”
“Absolute strongest recommendation. John and his team were professional, knowledgeable, and experienced. He knew the appeals process backwards and forwards, he prepped me for what last ahead at each milestone and was especially thorough.”
“Outstanding legal representation. Highly recommended. John Berry and his team are first class professionals. Melissa Watkins was great!”
“Berry & Berry is a great firm. Kimberly was very knowledgeable, detailed, professional, and kept me in the loop of the process. I would recommend this firm without hesitation.”
“I would definitely recommend Berry& Berry. My case was a success thanks to Kimberly she was great. They made me feel very comfortable.”
