Professional Team

Barbra and her team made the divorce process tolerable. They communicated well and I felt in the loop at all times. I am glad to have found her. I would recommend this law firm for your divorce.

Outstanding

Tough, (in the best way) responsive, sharp legal mind, and communicative. This divorce, as it is for most people, was one of the most difficult experiences of my life. I am so grateful for Barbra's legal expertise and tenacity in advocating for me. If it weren't for the circumstances under which we m...et, I'd want to have her as a friend!

Third time was the charm!

I hired Barbra in the middle of my divorce when two others did nothing to move my case forward. My second attorney insisted that only if I refinance the marital home, that was already paid off, will he be able to work on an agreement. From the very beginning Barbra explained how assets are divided, ...that I absolutely did not need to "refinance" the home. She was very responsive to emails and phone calls, and I always received an email copy of every single communication with the opposing counsel. Many times I wanted to give up and walk away as the stress and manipulation was so high from my ex. But Barbra was so patient and had my back through the whole process. She fought for my rights and called out on any unreasonable demands from OC. Wish I had hired her first. It would've saved me time, money and a whole lot of stress!

Amazing team and experience

Barbra is truly an amazing person first, and also a great lawyer. I came to her during this pandemic and all our interactions were by phone and email but I never felt like my case wasn't important or that she didn't understand the situation. All replies were timely and showed great consideration for ...the stress of having legal issues during this time. Barbra has a great team behind her as well and since my case was originally in NH and I live in MA now , the amount of people on her team able to practice to in both states was great. I would recommend this team to anyone and everyone should they need legal representation in family court. I am only sorry I did not get to meet these amazing people in person and shake their hands. I cannot emphasize enough how much it means to have a strong and understanding lawyer through stressful situations! Priceless.

Black Law Group

I hired Barbra to represent me in a contempt case. I was very nervous about it based on my previous experiences in court. She assured me that I had a good case and that there wouldn't be any problems. She did win the settlement and it happened exactly as she told me it would. Barbra was very prof...essional. She was always on time for appointments and would make them on short notice if need be. She was also flexible in that we met most of the time over the phone. She was very reassuring through the entire process and very tenacious when dealing with the opposing attorney which definitely drove to a speedy and positive outcome. Apart from her law knowledge and skills, I felt I was treated very fairly and respectful from her and the entire office staff. Barbra was very generous with her time. So often I felt like I was being overcharged by previous attorneys with no result to show. I didn't get that impression at all from Barbra. In fact, it seemed she spent more time on the case than I was charged. It was satisfying knowing that I was not being nickeled and dimed to death. My only regret is that I didn't know of Barbra and hire her for my divorce. I highly recommend her and would hire Barbra again if need be.
