Hailee Thayer

Practice Focus

Hailee Thayer is a Veterans Disability Attorney at Berry Law, based in Council Bluffs, Iowa. Licensed in Nebraska, she focuses on helping Veterans pursue disability benefits and navigate a process that can feel complicated, impersonal, and stressful. Hailee believes clients deserve an advocate who takes time to understand their circumstances, explains the process clearly, and stays attentive to their questions and concerns. She brings compassion, dedication, and careful attention to detail to her work, with a focus on ensuring each client feels heard, respected, and supported.

For Hailee, effective representation means more than moving a claim through its steps. Veterans should understand what is happening and have someone willing to advocate for them along the way. She aims to be a steady, trustworthy guide, helping clients make sense of an unfamiliar system while pursuing the benefits they earned through service. Her approach pairs close attention to each matter with a sincere commitment to the person behind it.

Role at Berry Law

At Berry Law, Hailee represents Veterans in the firm’s Veterans Disability practice. She sees her role as both advocate and guide: listening closely, communicating clearly, and helping clients know they have someone genuinely invested in their situation. The VA benefits process can be difficult to navigate, especially when a person is already under stress. Hailee works to make that experience more understandable by explaining what clients can expect and remaining attentive throughout the process.

She believes that Veterans deserve zealous advocacy delivered with respect and compassion. For Hailee, that means taking each client’s concerns seriously, approaching every matter with dedication, and offering steady guidance through a system that can feel impersonal. She wants clients to know they can trust her to care about their circumstances and to be there as they work through the benefits process.

Service to Veterans

Hailee’s commitment to serving Veterans is rooted in her family. Her grandfather was a Vietnam Veteran, and she saw firsthand his struggle to obtain the care he needed and the benefits he deserved. Although Hailee has not personally gone through the VA process, witnessing her grandfather’s experience gave her a close understanding of how difficult it can be for Veterans to secure support through the system. It also prompted her to consider how many other former service members face similar challenges.

That experience continues to shape the way Hailee approaches her work. She believes Veterans need a zealous advocate who will clearly explain the VA claims process and fight for the benefits they earned. Her goal is to pair strong commitment to each client’s interests with clear communication, so Veterans feel supported and informed as they move through a challenging process.

Education & Training

Hailee earned her bachelor’s degree in political science from the College of St. Benedict in 2022 and completed her legal education at Creighton University in 2026. She is licensed in Nebraska and focuses her practice on Veterans Disability matters. Her academic background and legal training support her commitment to guiding Veterans through the benefits process with care, clarity, and attention to detail.
