Barbra Ilene Black

I hired Barbra to help with a visitation modification. My case was not an easy one and my ex was not willing to negotiate at all. Barbra never left me in the dark about what was going on and always advised me on the most cost effective means to achieve the desired results. Barbra and her entire legal... team worked very hard to get me a better than expected settlement. I will forever be thankful to Barbra and her team for getting me a fair settlement which allows me to be in my son's life again.

I switched to Barbara in the middle of my divorce because I was unsatisfied with my first lawyer. It was like night and day. Barbara listened to me, she understood what my objectives were in the divorce. She was very knowledgeable and went over my options in different situations and asked me how I ...wanted to proceed. I always felt that Barbara put 100% effort and fought hard for me. She also had another lawyer in the firm work on my case and I saw the same effort and knowledge. Her office was very responsive, when I emailed most of the time I received an email back within minutes. When I called their office, they answered their phone and were available. In the end I was able to come to an agreement and avoided going to trial. I was extremely happy with the way Barbara handles the case.

Barbra Black represented me in a divorce. We had attempted mediation which was unsuccessful followed by us both hiring lawyers. My first lawyer was not responsive or trustworthy. I found Barbra through a employee assistance program at work. Barbra immediately took charge. She was extremely prompt,... knowledgable, and responsive. I felt like she took control and took the lead. She also made sure I understood the process and kept me informed. Barbra was sensitive to time and costs. She gave some responsibilities to her staff to keep my costs down but never delegated work or decision making needing her attention. I have since referred Barbra to a friend who is also satisfied with Barbra's approach. I would highly recommend Barbra Black as a divorce lawyer.

After many years of contemplating a divorce I finally decided to move forward. I met with one lawyer who made me feel like I lost before I even got started! I knew at that point I had to do some homework before pursuing this life altering challenge. Barbra was recommended to me so I gave it a sho...t as I had nothing to loose after meeting with the 1st lawyer. I scheduled an appointment to meet with her and I have to say Barbra was very accommodating working around my schedule. When I walked into her office and saw her I was a bit skeptical as she was such a petite woman and I wasn't sure if she was the timid type who would let other lawyers walk all over her! After spending about 15 minutes with Barbra I knew she was the type of lawyer I wanted to represent me. She made me feel like we had known each other for years. I gave her a brief synopsis of the outcome I was looking for when all was said and done. What impressed me the most was the fact that Barbra was honest right from the beginning. Everything was laid on the table, including her fees, and then she told me to take some time to think about what I wanted to do. Right then and there I knew she was the person I wanted as my representative. Not only was Barbra honest and sincere but she portrayed herself in a professional and confident way. That was the beginning of our journey. Barbra and I had numerous meetings to prepare for the case. She included me in ever aspect of the divorce consulting with me as to what I wanted vs what she wanted and I felt like this was definitely going to be a team Working together as one. She always offered different options in an effort to save me money if at all possible. The time came when we needed to stand before a judge for our pre-trial hearing. Once again, Barbra exhibited her professionalism while firmly getting her point across. While waiting our turn to be heard, I remember explicitly how Barbra said to me "I hate having to wait cause it is costing you money to just sit here." The outcome was better than I expected and it was all due to Barbra's kindness, caring and nurturing that gave me the confidence I needed to approach the situation head on without fearing what the outcome would be. The most important part of the teamwork was the trust and respect we had for one another which turned an unknown situation into a pleasant experience. I walked away feeling as though I had a friend by my side. Barbra has an excellent staff who were always pleasant to deal with and willing to help in anyway possible. I am so happy I trusted my instincts and chose Barbra as my attorney. I would not hesitate for one moment to recommend her to anyone in need and I thank Barbra from the bottom of my heart for being who she is not only as a lawyer but also as a friend.

I retained Barbra Black as my divorce attorney in 2005. She handled my case in the most professional way and the outcome was favorable. Atty. Black was extremely knowledgable, proactive and informed. She explained my options to me clearly and reasonably. She focussed on the end result of the case and... kept my best interests in mind at all times. I was divorced at my pre-trial mostly because Barbara had prepared a settlement document which we were able to fine tune and agree upon before our hearing. In retrospect, due to her forthought, she saved me a great deal of money. The judge complimented Barbra at the trial for her performance. I highly recommend Barbara Black.
