VA Benefits Lawyer

Stephanie Costello, gave me personal attention and was able to traverse the laws of 38CFR and apply case law to my claim. She was terrific! The letters she wrote for my claim was something out of a law movie, “thorough and to the point”.

Won My Case 100% P&T

Stephanie Costello help me tremendously. Back when I got out in 2019 from the army I was awarded 80% disability, for whatever reason the va took some percentage away for whatever reason. I tried to fight and do it myself but was not getting anywhere. I heard of berry law firm and decided to give a tr...y. Not only did Costello won my case we still have other claim we waiting for the board of veteran appeals. If everything goes right I will have a big check dated back since 2020. Costello responded to all my emails and kept me inform on the next step for the plan of action. At first I thought everything was moving slow but it wasn't because of her. The va in generally is very slow. Now here is the timeline. 2020-2021 I was able to go from 80% to 90 and 2023 I went from 90 to 93%. 2024 Costello won my case to 100% as P&T. Not only did she win my case but she still fighting other claims for me making sure I get what I'm entitled to. I referred alot of veterans to her. She has amazing work. I referred alot of veterans to her, I'm am very please with her work and would recommend anyone to her. Thanks Berry Law Firm for hiring outstanding attorney.

Mrs Stephanie Costello thank you for everything .

Mrs. Costello was outstanding. I was being pushed around by Prescott V.A. and in 2017 they decreased my hearing to 0%. Mrs. Costello handled several appeals for PTSD and Hearing all ending with positive results. The end result was a 100% rating. I would also like to say she did all this with minim...al back and forth between us, (she just did it). Thank you Mrs. Costello and Berry Law.

Review

I had been trying to navigate the VA benefits filing forms and regulations for a number of years concerning medical issues I had while serving in Army in the late sixties and getting nowhere and constant denials . I retained Miss Stephanie as my attorney through The Berry Law Firm 3yrs ago an...d after working with her and all her help I was able to have my VA claim approved for 100% service connected compensation. I never would have been able to do this without her help.

Relentless!

Stephanie and her team at Berry Law were relentless in helping me win my claims with the Veterans Administration. It took three (3) years but they were undeterred by the process. Highly recommend them to represent any veteran. Thank you!

What determines Avvo Rating?
  • Experience & background Years licensed, work experience, education
  • Legal community recognition Peer endorsements, associations, awards
  • Legal thought leadership Publications, speaking engagements
  • Discipline Disciplinary information may not be comprehensive, or updated. We recommend that you always check a lawyer's disciplinary status with their respective state bar association before hiring them.
