What Our Clients Are Saying About Us
Anthony Mammina

Didn’t know working with a lawyer could be this refreshing. I can’t say enough great things about Berry Law in Lincoln, NE. Our experience was so different than what we had expected in working with a lawyer. Carey took the necessary time to affirm and explain how we were justified in our situation. He defended us and encouraged us every step of the way. He was an excellent communicator and very easy to work with. We would give more than five stars if possible.

A+ WORK. I am beyond grateful for the support I received from Barry Law. From the very first moment, they truly stood by my side and handled everything with such care and professionalism. It wasn’t just about legal expertise—though that was top-notch—it was the genuine compassion they showed. Whenever I felt overwhelmed or anxious, they were always there to calm my nerves and reassure me. It’s rare to find a lawyer who not only fights for you but also makes you feel understood and cared for throughout the process. I can honestly say that choosing Barry Law was one of the best decisions I’ve ever made, and if I ever need legal help again, they will absolutely be my first choice. They truly go above and beyond, and I am so thankful for everything they did for me.

I had a wonderful experience working with Carey Collingham at Berry Law for 2 personal injury claims! He made me feel supported and heard. Carey listened to my experiences, thoroughly guided me through my options, and always had a clear plan of action. Carey is very personable and professional. I felt that he truly cared about my claims and my well-being. Having a personal injury can make you feel out of control, but Carey made me confident that he would take care of the claims which made me feel less overwhelmed. I could not recommend Carey enough! He fought hard to ensure that I received the compensation I deserved, and I could not be happier about the outcomes of my claims!

What Compensation Can You Recover?
Every injury case is unique, but our goal is always the same: to fight for the full financial recovery you’re entitled to under Nebraska or Iowa law. This may include:
- Medical bills and future healthcare costs
- Rehabilitation and physical therapy
- Lost income and reduced earning capacity
- Pain and suffering
- Emotional distress

We take the time to understand how the injury has affected your daily life—physically, financially, and emotionally—so we can build a case that fully reflects your experience.
Don’t Wait—Legal Deadlines Are Strict in Nebraska and Iowa
Personal injury claims must be filed within strict deadlines. In Nebraska, the statute of limitations is generally four years (Neb. Rev. Stat. § 25-207), though certain cases involving government entities or medical negligence may have shorter timelines. In Iowa, most personal injury lawsuits must be filed within two years (Iowa Code § 614.1).
Delaying your claim could prevent you from recovering any compensation at all. Our attorneys act quickly to preserve evidence, meet filing requirements, and ensure your rights are protected from day one.
