She is intense, an encyclopedia of legal knowledge.

Barbara Black is the best divorce lawyer I have used. She defended me and my family vigorously, intelligently and deftly. She won full custody of my children for me against long odds. She knows the laws and the ways of the probate court and uses that knowledge to full effect to help her clients. I en...dorse her as the best choice one could make when in need of an excellent advocate

Shrewd, considerate and sensitive.

Attorney B. Black was quick to understand the sensitive spots in my case and maneuvered around to accommodate but be firm when need be. She is quick, sharp and I felt I could trust her as a person and her judgement as an attorney.

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!

Couldn't be more satisfied

Having never gone through a divorce before, I had no idea what to expect. Barbra gave me the education I needed and turned a very emotional and stressful life changing event into something tolerable. I always felt comfortable calling her for even the smallest detail and she was very responsive and ...managed to calm me down at the same time. She was tough and persistent and left no stone unturned and always protected my interests as if they were her own. Barbra gave me the confidence I needed to stand up for what I wanted and to go after it. My divorce was somewhat complex, no children but many properties in different states, a business and many investment accounts were involved. The outcome of my divorce was very fair and Barbra managed to get me the settlement I wanted. Choosing the right attorney makes all the difference in the world and I would absolutely recommend Barbra if you are looking for an experienced and knowledgeable divorce attorney. I feel very fortunate to have found her. Now that my divorce is over, I think I will actually miss her.......well, maybe not!!
