About Carey D. Collingham

Carey Collingham is passionate about helping people recover—physically, emotionally, and otherwise—from the damages done to them by someone else. Carey has personally experienced the devastating impact that injuries arising out of another person’s negligence can have on someone’s life, having suffered an auto accident injury that limited his ability to play music professionally. In response to his own experience, Carey gave up a beloved career in the Nebraska nonprofit community to pursue the study of law. His mission now is to help others find ways to put their injuries behind them and move forward in pursuit of their goals. Carey is committed to vigorously advocating for anyone who has suffered the ill-effects of someone else’s negligent or intentional wrongdoing. Carey also helps clients defend and protect their goals and interests by using the tools of law to resolve everything from real estate issues to contract disputes, estate planning concerns, administrative or licensing issues, state and local government problems, and firearms-related issues.

Carey Collingham received an undergraduate degree in music performance from the University of Nebraska-Lincoln. While in law school, Carey worked as an elected Executive Editor for the Nebraska Law Review. He also serves on the Board of Directors for NextGen Lincoln and the Lincoln Civic Orchestra.

When he is not fighting for his clients, Carey enjoys playing music, teaching cello students, fishing, hunting, playing with his rescue dog, working under the hood of his car, or serving the Lincoln community’s nonprofits.

Carey Collingham was absolutely outstanding throughout our entire case. From day one, he was incredibly responsive, knowledgeable, and patient in answering every single question we had. After being involved in a car accident, we were stressed and unsure of the process, but Carey made everything clear and handled the situation with confidence and professionalism. What really stood out was how much he genuinely cared. He didn’t just do the bare minimum—he went above and beyond to make sure we were taken care of and fully informed every step of the way. He fought for us and delivered a great result without us even having to go to court, which was a huge relief. If you’re looking for an attorney who is reliable, communicative, and truly has your best interest in mind, I highly recommend Carey. We’re extremely grateful for everything he did for us.

I had an excellent experience working with Carey Collingham over the past year. From start to finish, the entire process felt smooth, straightforward, and stress-free. He was incredibly easy to work with and always made sure I understood what was happening every step of the way. What stood out the most to me was how much he genuinely cares about his clients. He took the time to answer my questions, kept me informed, and made me feel confident throughout the entire process. It never felt like I was just another case — he truly had my best interests in mind. I’m very grateful for all of his hard work and would highly recommend him to anyone looking for a knowledgeable, reliable, and compassionate lawyer

We hired Berry Law because we did not think we could deal with all the medical bills and the insurance companies without help. Carey was great to work with, he always called us back when we had questions and was very good at staying in contact with us.

I had the pleasure of working with Carey C. He is one hell of a lawyer . I didn't know what to do or where to turn to when it came to a personal injury accident because I've never been in a situation that I had to take into legal matters... and he supported me through it all. He explained the process from beginning to end, and everything worked out smoothly . IT WAS WONDERFUL WORKING WITH HIM !! If you need a lawyer for a car accident , he's the man to go to!! LOVE YOU CAREY

Mr. Collingham took our case at the lowest time in our lives. Even with those odds, I always felt valued, respected, heard and kept up to date on the case status I cannot say enough great things about Mr. Collingham's integrity, compassion and honesty. He stands by doing the right thing. Something hard to find in this world. He continues to remain a valued and trusted person I can turn to for advice and has continued to try and help when possible, despite no longer being my attorney. He means what he says and genuinely cares how we are doing in the aftermath of a tradgedy! Thank you Carey and Berry Law for all you have done for me and my family!

Carey and his staff have made this experience painless made me feel like I was one of his only clients. Coming from someone who has been incarcerated and may go months without hearing from your attorney, giving attorneys a bad rep. Carey called me back within hours of me reaching out. Berry Law cares about their clients and gets them the best outcome you can expect.

I have never met a more compassionate professional than Carey Collingham. The gentleman made me feel like we were family. He was responsive and detailed. He was knowledgeable and organized. He made us feel like everything would be alright. I would highly recommend Berry Law, and Carey Collingham anytime. Their services cannot be overstated.

Carey Collingham delivered with the very best service I had ever had in the 18 years of dealing with attorneys. He was very communicative and got back to me promptly with any and all questions I have and he cares about his clients with the most upmost respect and he put his own personal past medical issues as an example to give you some hope that things will be okay. He can relate to your hardship and problems. I would give him a try as my best personal advice. I took the plunge to try him out and he will be my go to guy for all questions and cases that may come up in the future. Best of wishes for all.
