What Berry & Associates does

Berry & Associates (legal entity: Matthew T. Berry & Associates, LLC) is a privately-held consumer bankruptcy law firm founded by Matt Berry in 1994 and headquartered in Atlanta, Georgia. The firm specializes in Chapter 7 liquidation, Chapter 13 wage-earner repayment plans, and Chapter 11 business reorganization, supplemented by ancillary services including foreclosure defense, wage garnishment cessation, repossession prevention, lawsuit defense, collection-call cessation, loan modification negotiation, post-bankruptcy credit repair advisory, Social Security Disability representation, and Fair Credit Reporting Act / Fair Debt Collection Practices Act work. The firm serves individual consumers facing financial hardship and a small segment of small-business clients across North Georgia, with 25,000+ Georgians helped cumulatively over 30+ years.

The firm operates 12 physical office locations across North Georgia (Atlanta, Jonesboro, Rome, Gainesville, Newnan, Kennesaw, Duluth, Dalton, Conyers, Blue Ridge, Cartersville, Douglasville) and is staffed by 11 bankruptcy-dedicated attorneys with over 130 years of combined experience, supported by 51–100 total employees. Client acquisition channels include a content-rich website (georgiabankruptcyfiling.com), organic search, Facebook and YouTube presence, free no-obligation consultations, phone intake, online chat, and attorney referral networks. Technology stack is described as standard legal practice management with website-based client intake and communication; there is no proprietary technology, AI capability, app, or external API ecosystem.

The business model is professional-services fees on a per-case basis. Court filing fees are standardized ($335 for Chapter 7, $310 for Chapter 13 in Georgia), while attorney fees vary by case complexity and are quoted after an initial free consultation. Chapter 7 attorney fees are typically paid before filing (with payment plans available), and Chapter 13 attorney fees are incorporated into the 3–5 year court-approved reorganization plan. The firm is entirely founder-owned, with no external investors, no private equity, and no disclosed M&A activity. No patents, trademarks, regulatory actions, or restructuring events are documented. The practice is concentrated in consumer bankruptcy (over 75% of activity), and the firm is recognized by Georgia Trend Legal Elite, Thomson Reuters Super Lawyers, AVVO (10.0/10.0 for Matt Berry), and Martindale-Hubbell (AV rating for Susan Hudson Senay).
