Sixty Years in the Courtroom: Honoring John Stevens Berry Sr. and the Clients We Stand Beside
Question: What happens when six decades of relentless advocacy for the injured and their families culminate in a single, heartfelt evening?
At Berry Law, we’ve spent the past 60 years building a legacy rooted in the unyielding pursuit of truth and fairness—much like the man who founded it all. Last Friday, November 7, 2025, we gathered at our Lincoln office (6940 O St, Suite 400, Lincoln, NE 68510) to celebrate not just a retirement, but the closing chapter of our anniversary year with the retirement of
John Stevens Berry Sr.. With 170 attendees sharing stories, laughter, and tears, it was a moving tribute to a pioneer whose courtroom battles have shaped justice for generations. Bear handle.
As we reflect on the past, embrace the present, and look to the future under new leadership, this milestone underscores why Berry Law remains a steady advocate for those who need it most—people and families facing serious injuries and life-changing legal challenges. The November 7 event capped our 60th-anniversary year—a time to honor milestones, friends, and family.
A Night That Marked Six Decades
The gathering recognized the values that still define our firm: courage, discipline, and courtroom focus. Every story shared reinforced a simple truth—our mission is to stand beside clients, prepare relentlessly, and pursue the results that help rebuild lives after serious injury.
Where We Go Next
As we bid farewell to Berry Sr., the torch passes to
John S. Berry Jr., CEO of Berry Law. With a proven record guiding complex appeals and injury matters, he embodies the evolution from courtroom advocate to strategic leader.
Under his leadership, Berry Law will expand resources for the injured, deepen litigation support through modern analytics and technology, and strengthen community partnerships that help clients access care and recovery.
CEO John Berry’s vision? “Honor the past by building a future where every injured person finds not just a lawyer, but a lifelong ally.” It’s a promise built on six decades of service—and a commitment to what comes next.
