Kevin P. Barry

Kevin was very fast, professional, and dedicated with my case; found a creative way for all charges to be dismissed and didn’t charge me more then he promised after it all took many more court appearances then first expected. I will definitely hire him again if needed.

Kevin Barry was able to get my case dismissed. My charge was 2C;35-10A(4) - POSS marijuana under 50 grams. I’m glad I made the right decision by hiring Kevin Barry for my legal representation for the matter of 2C;35-10A(4) - POSS marijuana under 50 grams. I was in court for all of 20 minutes before my charge was dismissed and I was wa;king out the door.

I retained Kevin for a 2nd degree felony drug case. He has a long list of connections and experience. He was able to negotiate with the prosecutor to drop the charges. I was very satisfied with his services.

If there is anybody in needed of an attorney whom will work your case as if he was representing himself. That being said, you will get all he have to give and there will be no stone left unturned. He worked hard to resolve my case and was always very responsive when I had questions, and constantly in touch with me during the entire process. He took time to explain everything in an easy to understand manor. I'm very happy with the outcome. Would absolutely use his services again in the future.

I highly recommend Kevin. He is very knowledgeable, professional and highly respected in his profession. He clearly explained everything to me, made no false promises, just facts, and kept me informed during the entire process.

I was issued a summons for 4th degree felony and Kevin made me feel very comfortable and gave me all of the possible outcomes. He was hopeful but realistic. He kept me aware of every step of th process. He is very well connected and convinced the judge and prosecutor to dismiss my case with no fine. Highly highly recommended.

Kevin came highly recommended to me after an unfortunate and very traumatic traffic "incident". He took time out from his Sunday afternoon to meet with me to discuss my case and the seven tickets that had been issued to me. Within the first two minutes of our meeting, I knew he was my guy. In a situation like the one I was in it's not just about legal knowledge and experience, it's the attorney's ability to listen, put the client at ease and make them feel like they are being heard that is important. Kevin was also very straightforward and never made any promises about the outcome of my case but he definitely "talked me off the ledge" more than a few times during the process. He was always available, responding to calls, emails, and texts immediately. He clearly is well liked and respected in the legal community, and had a good rapport with the prosecutor which is important. In the end, it was Kevin's knowledge, professionalism and willingness to go the extra mile for me that resulted in 5 of the 7 charges being dropped. He's a solid guy and a great attorney, and I hope I never have to hire him again.

He's a great confident lawyer that speaks plain english and does a good job. He handled our traffic ticket case wonderfully.

I hired Mr. Barry after my very first and completely dreadful run-in with the municipal police. Just picture a middle-aged, quiet and nerdy gal suddenly handcuffed, arrested and taken to jail (!) for a DUI, refusal to provide breath sample and and three other traffic violations – five charges in total. It felt surreal to be behind metal bars, in a real jail cell - hard cot, filthy toilet, walls covered in profanities and all - just like in the movies. I deserved to be there, I suppose, yet I felt painfully (but also comically) out of place as I've never been a troublemaker before and had no prior contact with the police. Since the arrest wasn't just a bad dream and since the ground didn't want to open and swallow me, I had to face the consequences and attempt some damage control. At first, I didn't even realize how dire my situation was. For those unfamiliar, the first two of my charges (DUI and refusal) are considered nearly “fatal” in New Jersey – hard to downgrade and nearly impossible to get rid of without some solid mitigating circumstances. Well, my wretched case had no mitigating circumstances of any kind. Instead, it had a big fat aggravating factor. In other words, a straight loser case where it actually makes more sense to bite the bullet, plead guilty to all charges and save the money by forgoing legal representation. (That money will be good for months and months of having to rely on Uber). From the beginning, b e f o r e taking my check, Mr. Barry was clear about poor prospects of my case. Painful as it was to hear, I felt his stoic candor spoke to his integrity - he didn't spin facts or sugarcoat anything as means to pry my wallet open. And so, despite his pessimism and the grim outlook, I decided to hire him in a desperate attempt to fight some of the charges. (I had to - due unrelated external factors, a DUI conviction on my record would likely have a catastrophic fallout, leading to a complete uprooting of my life and a few others.) He also seemed experienced, capable and calm so I felt that, at the very least, my bad case was in good hands, which gave me a faint glimmer of hope. As time dragged on and acute distress set in, that glimmer of hope disappeared sometimes, turning me into a hysterical spazz. Yet, four months of sheer agony later, Mr. Barry's skilled efforts produced an astonishing result: HE WON MY LOSER CASE. I pled guilty to two of the three lesser charges, everything else was dismissed. As the judge spoke, I stood there in disbelief, pinching myself and welling up. Some of the details of Mr. Barry's legal strategy escape me, but here's what I found fascinating: he took the “aggravating factor” I mentioned in the beginning, dug out some vaguely relevant case law and then managed to build my defense around that aggravating factor. In other words, he turned what is normally an obvious liability into an “asset” of sorts, in that it became unexpected grounds for defense. This clever maneuver resulted in a dismissal of most of the charges against me. This remarkable defense is a clear testament to his above-average skills as far a devising an optimal tactic for a given case. I agree with other reviewers who say Mr. Barry is experienced, polite, patient and responsive. All that is true. I will add he is also grounded and unflappable - in stark contrast with my own occasional panicky agitation. Most importantly though, this is an expert who is clever, creative, resourceful and tireless in providing the most effective defense to the client. He doesn't make empty promises or create false hopes. Instead, he delivers beyond expectations. It doesn't hurt that he has excellent courtroom skills and that he had enough common sense, good will and grace to have forged decent working relationships with a number of local prosecutors. In conclusion, I don't believe my (well-deserved) ordeal would have ended in a dismissal of most charges had I hired another attorney. Outstanding representation.

Mr. Barry is an outstanding lawyer. He is very knowledgeable and takes the time to explain things and the steps involved. He is accessible and responsive. Mr. Barry's approach is always very professional yet friendly. We switched to Mr. Barry after a bad experience with another lawyer right in the beginning of our case. I wish I had known of Mr. Barry sooner but the switch was the best decision we made! This was a difficult time for my family and Mr. Barry took very good care of us and achieved a great outcome for our case.

Mr. Barry was so accessible from day one explaining the court papers and process to me thoroughly, along with possible outcomes. He got everything moving quickly and stayed on top of the case, while keeping me informed throughout the entire time of its progress. I always felt I could trust him and count on his expertise and honesty. He says it like it is and I liked that immediately about him. He is smart, again, very thorough, knows his business and I would recommend him highly to anyone needing a good attorney in his field.

I used Kevin's services recently and was very happy with the job he did. He worked hard to resolve my case and was always very responsive when I had questions, and constantly in touch with me during the entire process. He took time to explain everything in an easy to understand manor. I'm very happy with the outcome. Would absolutely use his services again in the future.

I am most pleased with your diligence and tenacity with my case, thank you for doing such an outstanding job. You are a very talented attorney. With great pleasure I will most definitely refer your firm to others. Best regards Ellijah.

Let me begin by stating that Mr. Barry is an outstanding attorney! An extremely polite individual who will get you the best outcome and he did just that with my case! I got to speak to various attorneys during my case and was having a really difficult time feeling confident with one! That is until I spoke to Mr. Barry! Not only was he professional but he was overly pro-active on getting the best outcome of my case! Not only did Mr. Barry managed to have my case sent over to Municipal Court (it was originally at the Supreme Court level as a second degree felony) but he also managed to have the entire case downgraded and dismissed to a simple traffic violation plus a fine! This case could have easily been a life changer for both myself and my family and Mr. Barry was able to help us get through this tough time! If you need an attorney to defend you Mr. Barry is your guy!

Kevin is very nice, professional, and very involved. I felt my case was being handled by someone who was not only very knowledgeable, but trustworthy as well. If I ever need a lawyer again (hopefully I won't!), I absolutely know who to contact.
