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.

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.

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.

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!
