Class Act

There are few words to really describe the dedication and efforts put forth by Mrs. Costello. She took my case and assured me a positive outcome and she delivered. I was informed with every step, every motion filed. Mrs Costello and her team kept me abreast of any and all actions taken on my behalf. ...They made it easy for me to understand, answered all of my questions and explained them in detail. I felt comfortable and knew by the way she handled things that I had chosen the right lawyer. I would highly recommend Mrs Costello to anyone in need of legal representation. Shes professional and dedicated to her profession.

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!!!!

Stephanie Costello, Berry Law Firm

Initially hesitant to use Berry Law, as I live in a different time zone from their headquarters. I found Berry Law online, with reviews from fellow veterans that seemed legitimate. I am extremely glad I took that chance! I would like to personally thank Stephanie Costello, and her team as they pr...ovided me with excellent representation in pursuit of my claims with the VA. Stephanie is very personable and took the time in her busy schedule to listen to more than the cold facts, she listened to the human aspect of my case, which meant a lot to me and my family. The legal pathway she advised proved successful in nearly every aspect of my claims, after retiring from the military. I remain incredibly grateful I was assigned to Stephanie, I’m looking forward to working with her towards the completion of the pending decisions in my case, and truly appreciate of the overall professionalism of the Berry Law Firm. Thank you! Semper Fi, Sam G.

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.
