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.

I was extremely apprehensive when it came to hiring an attorney for my accident. So many people in my line of work told me to not do it because of the repercussions of it on my insurance, business and other aspects of my life. I am so grateful for having Carey as my attorney. He knew what I was going through and helped me throughout the process. I cannot thank Carey enough for the support and knowledge that he brought to my case! He was very helpful and got me a fair settlement.

I'd love to thank Carey Collingham from Berry law for what he did for me, for being a brother from another mother. Carey Collingham has managed to help me even when I was in South Africa I was confused and stressed but he has brought happiness in my home my kids and wife are so happy. Carey is a man of law I'm speechless but God bless him Berry Law is blessed to have someone like him

I was injured in freak car accident. Carey accepted my case after other law firms advised I did not have a strong enough case. Carey, being involved in many car accidents felt differently. He is very knowledgeable explained the entire process to my sister and I step by step. I felt comfortable calling with any concerns I had. The line of communication with Carey and his paralegal Alex was always open. Carey is very efficient and professionally. I have referred him to other family members who were in need of legal representation. I would certainly hire him again.

I had a free consultation with Carey Collingham and his advice was priceless. He was able to help explain my best options in a logical way. Although the best option was to not use his representation in my case, he was detail orientated and assisted me with the process.

I can’t thank Carey Collingham enough for taking my case. Thankfully my injuries weren’t serious and everyone walked away, but he still treated me and my case respectfully. Carey always kept me informed on progress and expectations and kept me assured with an honest opinion based on knowledge and personal experience. Keep up the great work

When I got into my accident Carey made things simple, easy, and quick. He was very knowledgeable and made things very clear. I had every question clearly answered. He took out all the stress from my situation and you can tell he truly care about his work! Hopefully I will never be in a situation like this again, but if I am, I will be returning to Berry Law and Carey.

I’ve never really been in an accident wasn’t my fault it was stressful dealing with the insurance agents on both sides so I decided I needed help and found Berry law. I had Carey as a rep and I went in this situation thinking I’m pry wasting his time and my case was use less I’m not gonna lie he went above and beyond for what he did for me and what I settled for and also the fact he took care of all the paper work talking to agents and bills. Highly recommend Berry law very satisfied. Would def use again no questions. Seriously injured call Berry law. Great experience.
