Best Decision I Ever Made

Working with Stephanie Costello and Berry Law has had to be one of the best decisions I have made thus far. I am in Houston and Stephanie and her team were able to help me anyway. I found Berry law by accident to be honest. She was able to take me from 30% to 80% in about 6 months, thats not includin...g my current open appeals. She is very professional and me and my family will be forever grateful. After being denied for my anxiety for years she was able to appeal and win. I can't explain how much this means to my family, but we just want to say thank you Berry Law and a special thanks to Stephanie. You changed my life!

Spectacular

First I'd like to say thank you to Stephanie Costello. Stephanie handled my Claim in such a professional and compassionate way. Filed for ptsd and was denied 2 times. Was about to give up and Berry Law happen to pop up in my phone. Called and 6 months later received my va benefits. Through the whol...e time, I emailed my Lawyer and she was always speedy to respond. I highly recommend the Berry Law Firm and especially Stephanie Costello.

Stephanie Walks the Walk in the world of VA Law!!!

I’m not really sure how to start this letter but to offer a very humble thank you to Stephanie!!! I remember not more than a couple years ago I contacted her. Once Berry Law accepted me as a client, Stephanie got right to work and within a fairly short amount of time, I went from 40 to 70 to 90 and ...recently was granted 100% VA Disability. She stopped at nothing! She didn't let the VA push me around and devalue me. She never let up and always kept me in the loop and share documents she sent to the VA. I can't laud her enough and she helped me when I was at the end of my rope and couldn't go at it alone any longer. Thank you for all you do, Stephanie, and every day you do it!!!!

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.

This law firm is legit and do everything it can to get you an award

When I had my military discharge physical in 1968, the doctor said I had a 10% hearing loss in my left ear. I really didn’t give his comments much weight then as I stayed in the reserves and earned my retirement. However, during that time period, my hearing continued to slowly deteriorate. I had n...ot kept a copy of my discharge physical; of course it was destroyed in the St. Louis warehouse fire that destroyed so many military records. I also had never used the VA system because of all the horror stories I had heard. A couple of years ago some friends, who had also served in the military and whose hearing was also a problem for them, and I started commiserating with each other about our hearing loss and wishing we had initiated action to obtain financial remuneration. However, we all felt that being unfamiliar with the maze of government regulations and trying to get some compensation at our age would be a long, tedious and likely losing battle. Then someone said that he had used the Berry Law Firm whose sole mission was to help veterans get through the laborious paperwork and did not charge anything unless our case was favorably adjudicated. The law firm had helped him with the paperwork and he had been awarded compensation. I contacted them and was assigned lawyer Stephaine Costello who I quickly learned was very knowledgeable of the regulations regarding hearing loss. Both she and assistant Ulysses Larios were accessible as needed, stayed abreast of my case, literally did all the paperwork, and quickly submitted any appeals well ahead of deadlines. And, unlike some points of contact in other law firms, Mrs. Costello and Mr. Larios were readily accessible by email or phone whenever the situation dictated. They turned a potential quagmire into, frankly, a painless experience. In a short time, I have been awarded 30% disability. I highly recommend Berry Law!
