Berry Law gets the job done!

I realized after filing one appeal after another with the VA that I needed help. I chose Berry Law because they specialize with the Camp Lejeune contaminated water act. I took a chance without knowing who they were. I served in Camp Lejeune during the period of the contamination water act that too...k place before 1987. Many of my claims are in relation to Camp Lejeune so I thought I would give them a try because they seemed to be a good fit for me. Through a period of 3 years (since 2020), Stephanie (my attorney) has worked diligently with me to ensure my claims and appeals were sent in and processed on a regular basis. I know that I was the client that was tenacious with details and time sensitive paperwork. I called and emailed her constantly and her assistant. All that work paid off! I am now 100% service connected. My recommendation is to choose Berry Law and especially Stephanie. She knew what to do to assist me with the paperwork that only an attorney could provide that I couldn't. I know that I bothered her a lot. I didn't ever give up and neither did Berry Law. I appreciate everything that Stephanie and Berry Law did for me. Thank you for a job well done! I encourage all veterans to please get assistance with their claims and appeals. It really pays off. Get what you deserve!

Gratitude

My experience with Berry Law began very benignly largely because my Case relied on proof of exposure to chemical agents at a training camp that was shuttered in 1999. Once I was able to establish the relevant facts BerryLaw proceeded to effectively break through the VA bureaucratic obstacles that in...volved a multitude of Forms and review processes. My attorney seamlessly guided me through the morass of paperwork that ultimately resulted in a generous settlement that is still ongoing. A veteran like me was lucky to find a law firm that was more than able to successfully win a Claim that spanned decades.

Help for Veterans

Ms. Costello helped me finally get my VA claim appealed and won me a rating much higher than I thought I would receive! She was instrumental in this after I spent years trying on my own. Highly recommend her to Veterans.

Very attentive

Attorney Stephanie Costello is hard working and made herself available even years after winning my claim. I had a question pertaining to the same case and Attorney Stephanie Costello answered my question without a second thought. Had she not been the attorney she is , she could have ignored my questi...on or put me through an extensive process just to get a question answered. She didnt do that, she was very responsive and it means alot. I recommend reaching out to Attorney Costello for your case or your loved ones case. She understands fighting claims for Veteran s Benefits gets very tiresome and draining. By the time I made it to her I no energy to move forward and lost momentum, I reached out to her just in time. Don't wait any longer, save yourself some energy.

Best of the Best

Great communication. Every step in the claims process I was informed. Very smooth process working with Stephanie. She is very knowledgeable about all aspects of the process. And feeling of seeing backpay hit your account. Priceless!
