Stephanie Costello, Second To None

Stephanie Costello is motivated, dedicated, highly knowledgeable about navigating the VA Bureaucracy and just a fantastic Lawyer all around. Simply put, she wins cases and cares about her clients. Hire her like I did, you won’t regret it, especially when she’s calling you to say you won your case.

Won my appeal

Berry Law came to assist when no one else would. Most lawyers I've called wouldn't take my case, but Stephanie and her team did. I've been denied a claim for mental health from the VA over the past year with no service connection. Stephanie was immensely helpful in packaging all the evidence I've sh...own, along with detailed arguments that got me to a second C&P exam, which led to me getting the rating I deserve. I definitely recommend Stephanie and Berry Law to assist you when all seems lost. They are very professional and will be looking to them for more help in the future. Communication was prompt, and I didn't feel like there were periods of time where I had to contact them to follow up on anything. Melissa and Marquetta were very helpful in guiding me along the way with the case.

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”.

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.
