Jacalyn Fischer Barnett

Jacalyn Barnett is a skilled and experienced attorney with strategic smarts. She quickly sized up my situation and brilliantly maneuvered through the legal proceedings. The result was a fair settlement that exceeded my expectations. Throughout the divorce, Jacalyn’s professionalism, command of the... facts of my case and cool competence in court appearances — along with her caring warmth and sense of humor — inspired confidence and set my mind at ease. Jacalyn and her awesome associates did a great job of communicating what was happening at each step of the case. Their preparation for court appearances and administration of the paperwork and the details of the litigation were always thorough and well organized. Billings were fair and reasonable, and invoices were clear and detailed. I am so glad that I had Jacalyn in my corner. Her advocacy literally got me my life back!

Jacalyn Barnett has the three “C”s – competence, compassion and chutzpah. When I needed help to end a 20-year marriage while balancing the care of my two young daughters and working full time, Jacalyn was there for me. I am a practicing attorney but was not prepared to advocate or negotiate for m...yself, my family and finances through the emotional landmines of a divorce. Jacalyn supported me through the process with her experience, knowledge of the law and responsiveness. I so appreciated her warmth and honesty when reviewing options and approaches. I trusted her judgment completely - especially during those tense negotiations with my ex-husband’s counsel. There were a few times when Jacalyn thought it necessary for a no-holds barred approach. I trusted her judgment (even while my stomach churned), and she succeeded beyond my dreams. I may not have gotten everything I think I wanted, but she got me everything I needed. She was my indefatigable advocate through complicated and emotional negotiations. After we received the Judgment, and toasted her with champagne I can truthfully say: She’s a "b***h", but she’s “my” "b***h". I am grateful to her for helping me through the next stage of life with my daughters.
