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 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.

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.

Award Winning Attorney

Stephanie faced a case that dated back to Sept. 1977and continues to this day. Yet she faced these near impossible challenges head-on and came out the other side victorious, winning for me a 100% Rating. As a lawyer, she's smart, savvy and aggressive. Yet, she treated me w...ith kindness, respect, and patience. I will always be grateful for she accomplished on my behalf. If you face what appears to be an impossible situation with the VA, it would behoove you to contact Stephanie Costello at Berry Law. You won't be disappointed. I wasn't.

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.
