Exceptional Professionalism

Mr. Barison represented me in a very difficult, emotionally charged divorce case. There were numerous twists and turns in the process Greg navigated skillfully and with exceptional professionalism. He was more then just my divorce lawyer, he was my mentor and sometimes even my therapist. His respon...se time was admirable, every time I contacted Greg I knew he would reply withing minutes. Gregory was just the kind of person and a legal expertise I desperately needed. I would highly recommend him to anyone seeking experienced and dedicated divorce lawyer.

Client

Mr. Barison handled me and my case skillfully, through his knowledge of the law, the court system and human nature. I always felt as if I had an experienced ally, who listened to my concerns, advices me knowledgeably and honestly. Greg kept me calm in a very stressful situation by stating clearly how... he would prove our case and by responding promptly to my calls and emails. He kept me informed but didn’t over burden me and made me laugh when I needed one. My case was dismissed and I am very relieved and happy. I would use him again and recommend Greg to any family member or friend that needs legal help.

Mr. Barison is a very nice and professional man. He took the time to sit with me and listen to my needs in order to adequately meet them. I would recommend him to anyone in need of a great lawyer!

Professional and Effective Litigator

After a dispute with a home contractor ended in litigation, we engaged Greg to represent us. The litigation was long (almost two years) but Greg ultimately obtained a judgment in our favor against all of the defendants. Greg made sure that he clearly understood our goals in the litigation and ...pursued them as cost-effectively as possible. He was responsive (text, email, phone), efficient and did a fantastic job responding to the continuous stream of curve balls thrown at us by the other side—the defendants went through two sets of attorneys and caused countless delays, especially with their failure to adequately respond to our discovery requests. I am a practicing attorney myself but this was my first (and hopefully last!) personal litigation. Despite the difficult circumstances, Greg was a pleasure to work with. Greg was recommended to me by a colleague--and I would recommend him without reservation.

Encyclopedic access to law

I hired Greg for a legal malpractice suit. I felt safe the entire time and felt he represented my best interests in a very complicated case. Having a relationship based on trust and feeling your lawyer always has your back and believes in your case is his best strength and one that is essential to ...the terrible times that one experiences during a lawsuit. Not to mention that he arrived at a successful outcome for me! Highly recommend, and have recommended him to several people for family law cases.

Relationship: Opposing Counsel on matter

"Greg was my classmate at law school and we reconnected a number of years later when we tried a case against each other. Since then I have referred a number of clients to Greg and, without exception, they have been pleased with his representation. Recently I gave one of my clients who needed a divorce attorney Greg’s name along with the names of several other attorneys. The client elected to retain one of the other attorneys and several months later asked me for some additional names. I encouraged him to reconsider Greg and he subsequently told me that that was excellent advice. I am flattered that Greg has referred clients to me and if I ever get into a pickle myself, his name is at the top of my Rolodex."

Relationship: Worked together on matter

"I retained Matt and Greg Barison to represent close family members in the defense of a civil litigation matter. As a litigator myself, I was impressed with their aggressive but yet cost-conscious representation that resulted in a favorable settlement. I have also known them both for over ten years and endorse them as highly ethical practitioners."
