Shannon Mangram, Veterans Disability Attorney
Shannon Mangram is a Veterans Disability Attorney at Berry Law, where she focuses on advocating for Veterans and helping them access the benefits and rights they deserve. Her journey into law was inspired by a close friend who recognized her natural advocacy skills and encouraged her to pursue this path. Shannon’s background in community development solidified her commitment to empowering others with knowledge and support, leading her to pursue a joint-degree in law and leadership.
Shannon graduated in May 2024 with a Juris Doctor from the University of Nebraska College of Law, concentrating in litigation. She also holds a Master’s of Science in Leadership Education from the University of Nebraska-Lincoln College of Agricultural Sciences and Natural Resources. As a senior certified law clerk during her last year of law school, she gained hands-on experience in both civil and criminal law, with a strong dedication to making a difference in her community.
Shannon’s passion for listening and understanding sets her apart from other attorneys. She prides herself on her ability to actively listen, learn, and grow from each client interaction. Shannon’s personal motto, “I shall pass this way but once; any good that I can do or any kindness I can show…let me do it now,” reflects her unwavering commitment to helping others.
Outside of her legal practice, Shannon enjoys poetry, songwriting, and performing as a jazz vocalist. She also finds joy in reading fantasy literature, playing chess, and supporting Cornhusker football. A proud member of Alpha Kappa Alpha Sorority, Incorporated, Shannon is also involved in youth development programs in Lincoln, Nebraska.
Work with Shannon"I was referred by a fellow veteran to Berry Law. Even though I work and live overseas, Berry Law firm was willing to take my case which a lot of other firms don't. I chose Berry Law as my representative because they have excellent reputation and heard goods thing from my fellow veterans. I liked working with Berry Law because they were very clear from the beginning about fees and their plans to win my case. They followed up promptly. I couldn't be happier working with them. They were willing to help beyond my expectations. I got what I wanted and my life has changed positive way. Thank you so much for everything. I love you guys."
