Matthew Leuty

Matthew Leuty is a Veterans Disability Attorney at Berry Law in Omaha who represents former service members seeking disability compensation from the Department of Veterans Affairs. His practice focuses on VA claims and appeals, including matters in which Veterans face denials, delays, or uncertainty about benefits. He approaches representation with a service-based mindset, emphasizing careful listening, individualized attention, and practical guidance through a benefits system that can be difficult to navigate.

Matthew earned his Juris Doctor from the University of Nebraska College of Law in 2024, graduating with distinction. During law school, he served as a senior-certified law student in the Debtor’s Defense Clinic, where he represented clients dealing with unfair debt-collection practices. He also contributed to work on legislation that increased Nebraska’s homestead exemption. These experiences developed client-advocacy, legal-research, and problem-solving skills that support his current work representing Veterans in disability matters.

Matthew previously practiced as a criminal defense attorney and now applies that advocacy background to Veterans disability claims. In law school, he secured dismissal of a debt-collection matter for a client who had lost her job during the pandemic, an experience he identifies as especially meaningful. At Berry Law, he helps Veterans develop claims, address adverse VA decisions, and present the evidence and legal arguments needed to pursue compensation tied to service-connected disabilities.

Matthew Leuty focuses on respectful, client-centered representation for Veterans navigating claims and appeals. His background in criminal defense, debtor advocacy, and legislative work reflects experience standing beside people facing stressful legal and financial problems. He works to make the VA process more understandable, identify the issues affecting a claim, and provide steady advocacy as clients pursue benefits. His practice combines recent legal training with practical service-oriented experience and close attention to each Veteran’s stated goals.
