I contacted the law offices of Berry Law and set up an appointment with Evan Stein to review the details of a motorcycle accident in the spring of 2024. He immediately set my mind at ease as he let me know they would take full control of everything relating to my medical bills and dealing with the insurance companies while I concentrated on working with doctors and rehab specialists on healing the many injuries I sustained. He kept a fully open line of communication with me through the entire process, even checking in with me from time to time without any prompting from me. I was able to fully concentrate on getting my life back, and we worked to settle my claim in a very reasonable time. I highly recommend Evan to anyone looking for help handling an accident or personal injury claim.

To Whom It May Concern, I am writing to wholeheartedly recommend the services of Samantha Robb of Berry Law in Omaha, NE. I had the pleasure of working with Ms. Robb on my recent VA Disability case, and I was thoroughly impressed with her expertise, professionalism, and dedication to my case. Ms. Robb took the time to listen to my concerns, explain the legal process in a clear and concise manner, and provided me with sound advice throughout the entire process. Her knowledge of Veterans law and her experience in handling cases like mine were evident from the start, and I felt confident in her ability to represent me. The outcome of my case was successful, and I attribute this largely to Ms. Robb's hard work and perseverance. She was always available to answer my questions, return my calls, and keep me informed of any developments in my case. I highly recommend Samantha Robb and the Berry Law firm to anyone seeking help with their VA Disability Claims Process. Sincerely, CK
Carey did a great job explaining each steps to my case. He always answered questions in a timely manner and never left my family and I confused or out of the loop. Being a new mom I needed someone who would understand my situation and do everything he possibly could to win my case!
The representation, diligence, compassion, superior knowledge, correspondences and effectiveness is Second to None. Once my lawyer, Taylor Wikum, accepted my case, I received my 100% VA disability rating within 7 months. His ability to navigate through the cobwebs of the VA examiner proved to be the results that every veteran seeks after. Restoration will come with patience. His uncanny way of asking questions to implement the Berry Law strategy ensures our fight for wholeness manifest. Assuredly, my military service & sacrifice was not in vein. Fight the good fight of faith with God and leave the rest for Berry Law to clean up. Well done sir and thank you for your service, dedication and undying efforts to my family and I. Thank you very much.
My wife and I were in a serious motor vehicle accident that caused multiple injuries. We contacted Berry Law because of their good reputation in the Omaha area. They assigned Rachel Collins to our case. We hired Rachel after the initial consultation. She took charge immediately getting a firm grip on seriousness of the accident, the costs involved in current and future medical needs, and the resources available to provide relief. She stayed on top of things and kept us fully informed and involved as needed. She has successfully reached a more than fair settlement on our behalf. My wife and I would highly recommend Rachel Collins and the Berry Law Firm.
Sarah has been a big help and she was very responsive. Sarah provided details of the process step by step and was very communicative throughout the process. I highly recommend this firm and I'm glad the firm was able to support me.
Evan was able to take the stress off my life while I tried to heal, and he obtained a WIN!!! Even with many complications of my case. I would refer him to anybody I know who may have been injured and needs help.
My husband went through a unique injury where a person ran a stop sign and threw him off his motorcycle. He suffered permanent injury. The police put little effort into assisting locate the party at fault. The other party's insurance was of no help and did everything in their power to avoid responsibility for my husband's injury. Carey was very discrete, empathetic, and took personal time to assist us over time every step of the way to ensure we were taking the right steps to get my husband taken care of. With Casey's help, we were able to get compensation for time off work, the injury, pain and suffering, and medical bills. I highly recommend Carey for a personal injury attorney. Get a lawyer like Carey who cares about his clients.
Martindale-Hubbell® Client Review Ratings™ display reviews submitted by individuals who have either hired or consulted the lawyers or law firms.
The Client Review Rating score is determined through the aggregation of validated responses. People who submit reviews are either individuals who consulted with the lawyer/law firm or who hired the lawyer/law firm and want to share their experience of that lawyer or law firm with other potential clients. Reviewers can be anyone who consults or hires a lawyer including in-house counsel, corporate executives, small business owners, and private individuals.
Martindale-Hubbell validates that a reviewer is a person with a valid email address. As part of the review process, respondents must affirm that they have had an initial consultation, are currently a client or have been a client of the lawyer or law firm identified, although Martindale-Hubbell cannot confirm the lawyer/client relationship as it is often confidential. The content of the responses is entirely from reviewers.
Prior results do not guarantee a similar outcome and Martindale-Hubbell accepts no responsibility for the content or accuracy of any review. For more information on Martindale-Hubbell Client Review Ratings, please visit our Client Review Page
Martindale Peer Reviews
Martindale-Hubbell® Peer Review Ratings™ are the gold standard in attorney ratings, and have been for more than a century. These ratings indicate attorneys who are widely respected by their peers for their ethical standards and legal expertise in a specific area of practice.
The Martindale-Hubbell Peer Review Ratings process is the gold standard due to its objectivity and comprehensiveness. Lawyers solicited for peer reviews include both those selected by the attorney being reviewed and lawyers independently selected by Martindale-Hubbell. All reviewers are verified as attorneys through Martindale-Hubbell’s extensive attorney database. Only attorneys practicing at least three years and receiving a sufficient number of reviews from non-affiliated attorneys are eligible to receive a Rating.
What are the different Martindale-Hubbell Peer Review Ratings?*
• AV Preeminent®: The highest peer rating standard. This rating signifies that a large number of the lawyer’s peers rank him or her at the highest level of professional excellence for their legal knowledge, communication skills and ethical standards.
