Barry E. Janay

I hired Barry E. Janay for my legal issues, and let me just say, it was a complete disaster from start to finish. First off, he showed up to our initial meeting wearing a cape and claiming he was "the legal superhero" who could save my case. I thought it was a joke. It wasn’t. Things got worse whe...n Barry started growling at me like a wild animal. Every time I asked a question, he’d let out a low, guttural growl, and occasionally bark like a dog. At one point, I swear he was actually mocking me with a weird howling noise while pacing around the room. I asked if he was okay, and he just replied, "I'm just tapping into my inner beast mode." I thought maybe he was having a mental breakdown, but then he started trying to "psychologically intimidate" me. He’d stare at me with unblinking eyes, then break out into maniacal laughter. It was so unsettling. During a meeting, he even grabbed a rubber chicken from his desk and waved it around like a weapon, all while shouting something about "defending with the power of absurdity." When it came to actually discussing my case, he seemed more interested in sharing stories about his childhood obsession with collecting medieval armor than anything remotely legal. His legal advice? “Just wing it, like a bird with no direction.” Very helpful. I left the office feeling more confused and terrified than ever before. If you want your case handled by someone who might just start barking at opposing counsel or wear a suit made of tin foil, then Barry E. Janay is your guy. But if you're looking for professionalism, run—don't walk—away from this nightmare.

Barry accepted a real estate purchase contract, but had very little knowledge to perform the work. He was unable to explain the clauses, what they meant and if we needed to negotiate any changes. I wasn't sure if Barry read the contract as he had no comments or edits to the contracts, while I had o...ver 20 edits that needed to be processed. Barry was also hardly available for discussions, defaulting to emails all the time, and hardly contactible over the phone during work hours. In short, Barry added no value to me as a client and was simply acting like a post box - forwarding my comments to seller and sending me the contracts sent by seller's attorney.

After using AVVO to get legal advice for my case, Frank Natoli responded to my request and I immediately contacted him as he refer me to Adam Steiner and Barry E Janay. They informed me of my rights and instruction in how to proceed with my case in which Barry has mentioned that he was confident abo...ut my case. Not far from the submitting the letter, my request was fullfill. I will not hesitate in asking Barry for any other legal advice in the future....
