Divorce

Barbara was a caring, compassionate lawyer with the best interest of the family at heart. Not all lawyers are created equal. Some lawyers want to keep their clients fighting in order to make more money out of the case and do not care about the aftermath of their contentious advice and actions against... the other party. Barbara genuinely made her best efforts to preserve the family unit despite the dissolution of the marriage. She worked very hard to secure my best interests and I am very thankful for that. I recommend her as she highly experienced and equally compassionate.

A fine mind and a compassionate heart

Barbara S. Worth, Esq. Union, NJ. Barbara's first question was, "Whom are we defending? " I want to see him. I showed her my son's photograph. She gets personally involved immediately. Mine was a complex case and Barbara quickly grasped the facts. . She also composed the documents with great legal sk...ill; she has had twenty eight years of practicing family law. She offered her secretary's help when I had problems formatting some evidence. When her secretary had to leave for a family emergency, Barbara had mastered the technique and helped me to finish formatting the evidence.. She is kind, brilliant, and her fees are reasonable. I am happy to give her my highest recommendation not only as a family law attorney, but as an empathetic person, full of expertise and compassion.

TOP NOTCH, SHE IS THE ONE YOU WANT!!!

Ms. Worth is extremely accessible and accommodating. She specializes in divorce cases. Although my case was complex, she met with me on short notice, reviewed my extensive documentation, and with unlimited patience, helped me prepare for court, where she represented me admirably, I consulted... with her repeatedly and she is always professional and well prepared. Her staff is also helpful and accessible. I highly recommend her.

Child support and visitation, out of state, under New Jersey jurisdiction.

Ms. Worth was an incredible asset in directing me in a proper, competent path. Her knowledge, suggestions, real time application of litigation is commendable. I am an ex New Jersey resident, and my child resides in Florida. She was able to help me and getting a grasp of challenges ahead and forged ag...reements which created a positive solution to my New Jersey situation. Her and her paralegal Ms. Nubia are very caring and patient. I recommend Ms. Worth highly for any question in a complicated or simple matter. It's nice to know there's folks there to help. Sincerely, John --------

What determines Avvo Rating?
  • Experience & background Years licensed, work experience, education
  • Legal community recognition Peer endorsements, associations, awards
  • Legal thought leadership Publications, speaking engagements
  • Discipline Disciplinary information may not be comprehensive, or updated. We recommend that you always check a lawyer's disciplinary status with their respective state bar association before hiring them.
