Barbara C. Dawes

Throughout the divorce process Barb handled everything and explained everything clearly and made sure I understood what was going on. She told me how it would be during the process and set very realistic expectations. Every email or phone call was answered quickly whether I sent it at 9am or 9pm an...d she was working up until the night before we went before the judge to make sure a good divorce agreement was reached.

I first came to Barb when I felt the attorney I had hired was not putting much effort into a parenting time case brought by my ex-husband. She hit the ground running and advocated for my son's safety and well-being above all else. She also helped me with a legal separation, divorce and QDRO. In eve...ry instance, she let me know what to expect ahead of time and was always available if I had any questions. I would email her and hear back the same day - just amazing. She is a good listener and does not waste your time or hers. Barb will tell you if your expectations are reasonable and what your rights are - and she will help you see the Big Picture when you are bogged down in details. I would recommend her to anyone looking for solid representation in difficult circumstances. She will come through for you.

After being blindsided by a divorce filing that I didn't expect I called my employer for a reference. I was so lucky to get referred to Barbara. Not only did she make sure I understood every step of the process but she was also very honest. She did not sugarcoat anything and I really appreciated that.... If there was anything she thought would help my case she let me know immediately, no matter the time of day or if it was the weekend. Her billing is monthly and very detailed and she will work with you on it as well. Everyone I interacted with in the practice was friendly and I never felt out of place there. I hope to never need a lawyer again but if I do, Barbara Dawes is my choice.
