Denise buswa is my go to for anything legal!!!
I used Mr. Berry to defend me when charged with a crime i did not commit. We paid his deposit. Very poor communication on his part. He had very little advice to offer. He suggested I pled guilty TO A CRIME I DID NOT COMMIT. The prosecutor withheld evidence I had every right to review. Mr. Berry did not have enough of a backbone to demand the evidence. He advised me to accept a plea for something I did not do. They scheduled another court date. Mathew Berry DID NOT SHOW UP. DID NOT ANSWER MY CALLS. DID NOT ANSWER THE COURTS WHEN THEY CALLED. I stood in court BY MYSELF as the judge and prosecutor questioned me on WHO Mr. Berry was and WHERE he was. They posponed as long as they could for me so we could HOPE Mr. Berry would make contact. He never did. So we where forced to reschedule. Three hours later when I was rescheduling he finally responded by TEXT. His EXCUSE was that he had hurt himself. His "assistant" was instructed to notify the courts. Which they did not do. And that was a LIE cause he dont even have an assistant. The next court date came and MR. Berry was kind enough to bless us with his presence. I pled no contest to A CRIME I DID NOT COMMIT. I was given probation and $750 in fines. I know 3 others who have used Mathew Berry to represent them in court. One had a positive outcome. The other two both said the same thing. He does not answer or return calls. He is very quiet and TIMID. Both stated regret in hiring him as their attorney. Both had to pay judgements in the end. In my opinion Mr. Berry is good for paperwork only. He doesn't have the BERRYS to represent ANYONE in court. At this time I owe Mr. Berry a balance. I would like HIM to start his NEGOTIATIONS at 66% of what is owed. Due to the fact he showed up 66% of the time I needed him to. My advise to Mathew Berry is to aquire the services of a qualified experienced TALENTED lawyer to help him collect his past due accounts. I am confident I have given him BETTER legal advice than he EVER gave me! *update* I left the same review on facebook. Since then the buswa & berry facebook page has been taken down.

Mr. Berry showed exceptional expertise even with a lot of unknowns during COVID as he helped me through my divorce. He answered all my questions and was there for me from the beginning. Mr. Berry offers great service at a very reasonable price. He truly goes above and beyond for his clients.

I hired Denise Buswa in a custody case and she did great on getting a lot of what I asked for, it's not perfect but what is right. I don't know how she did it but I'm grateful for the way things turn out. I will be using Denise Buswa again in the future. In a custody case I would recommend her highly.
