About Berryman
Biography
Former Wake County Asst District Attorney
I grew up in Raleigh, graduating from Ravenscroft School in 1990 and from the University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill in 1994.
In 1995, I enrolled in The Norman Adrian Wiggins School of Law at Campbell University. Following my first year and during my second year at Campbell, I worked as a law clerk at DeMent, Askew, Gammon and Dement. During my third year, I interned at the Wake County District Attorney's office.
Upon graduation and admission to the North Carolina State Bar in 1998, I worked as an associate for a brief period at DeMent, Askew, Gammon & DeMent, opting to become an Assistant District Attorney in Durham County. When a position at the Wake County District Attorney's office came open approximately 3 months later, I jumped at the chance to "come home" to Raleigh as an Assistant District Attorney.
During my tenure at the District Attorney's Office in Raleigh, I prosecuted felonies, misdemeanors, DWI's, and other criminal offenses.
In 2000, I was approached by Rick Gammon to work with Rick at DeMent, Askew. I readily accepted the offer, rapidly building my own criminal defense practice as Rick and I worked closely together on a large number of high profile homicide, sex offense and narcotics cases in both state and federal court. Upon Rick's retirement, I remained a partner at DeMent, Askew until moving and becoming a partner at Sandman, Finn & Fitzhugh in July, 2008.
