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 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!

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.

All of my hospital bills, recovery room bills, and pain and suffering were paid for and I did not have to pay a single dollar. Attorney Carey Collingham promised me from the beginning that he would make sure this case was made easy for me and he delivered. He was always clear, honest, respectful, and kind. Everyone deserves respect, fair treatment, and honesty, especially because you as a victim feel very vulnerable and scared. And as much as I, the consumer seeking help to resolve my problem, take the moment to give thanks for your service that you provided me and with much respect I admire you, because I know that your job is not easy and yet you remain strong to defend us and be our voice oppressed by fear.

I was a bit nervous reaching out to a lawyer after my wife and I were in an accident. I’m so glad I chose Berry Law and I was lucky enough to have Carey on my case. Carey was on top of everything the entire time, amazing with communicating any issues with me, and just amazing to work with. Hopefully nobody I know will be in an accident and need an personal injury lawyer but I know exactly who I’m going to have them call if it does happen. I truly can’t say enough good things about Carey and how he handled my case.

I couldn’t speak highly enough of the Berry Law team. My husband and I worked with Carey Collingham, with the assistance of his paralegal, Anna, and legal assistant, Taylor. From our initial call to our recent settlement, their team was always available to answer my questions, provide further clarification, and explain the process clearly. I never felt like my dog attack case was not being handled with this team doing the work behind the scenes. Their professionalism in conjunction with their knowledge and skill allowed us to get an outcome that was above and beyond our expectations. If you’re looking for a lawyer for your injury, I couldn’t recommend Berry Law more. If you want someone to care not only about your case, but you as a person, Carey Collingham and his team will not let you down.
