Barbara Jo Strauss

Several years of poor organization, I was repeatedly asked same questions, to resend documents (multiple times), total lack of awareness of court dates, not interested on important custody concerns and child safety, only kept informed even at an expected minimum. Everything was an emergency fire to g...et minimum attention - staff changes made things worse - And that’s being polite. Refused to file proper petition to enforce rights. Bad enough where I went “pro se” to represent self - now Switched to different attorney - IMMEDIATE DIFFERENCE - ACTUAL PROFESSIONAL, CALM, COMMUNICATIVE, CLEAR & FOR THE BETTER. Kept being told she was the best - Just don’t get it at this point. Wasted several years..

When my attempt at a collaborative divorce failed, Barbara Strauss was recommended to me as an alternative for a court-savvy yet not overly savage attorney. I wanted a firm hand, but more of a consultative situation. I wanted to maintain as much dignity and humanity in the trying proceedings as I pos...sibly could. I found working with Ms. Strauss and her staff, especially her Paralegal Ms. Jennifer Lopez, both productive and pleasant. The team was personable and responsive and offered creative solutions in my complex situation. Ms. Strauss was interested in my circumstances not only professionally, but as a fellow human being. I found compassion and understanding, yet a firm opinion and solid professional advice. I am using the firm now, will use them again, and am happy to recommend their services to women and men in need. While Barbara Strauss's services did not come cheap, the firm did not charge me excessively and tried to save me money everywhere they could. Overall, I feel that my money was well invested as I was paying for future peace and comfort.

Barbara has always given me great advice in my many visits to her dealing with post-divorce issues. She is not just out to go to court and make maximum money. She will always try to resolve issues without court where possible. However, if court is the only option, Barbara represents firmly and with g...reat experience. You always know she is doing her best by you.

If somebody asked me for a name of a good Family Law attorney, I would tell them I can't tell them of a "good" one but I can tell them the name of the "BEST". Barbara Jo Strauss is the best family law attorney you can have! My divorce case was long, nasty & difficult. Barbara stood by me & made sure ...that I received a fair settlement in my case. She never gave up on me or my case. I believe other lawyers would have asked to been removed from my case but not Barbara. Thanks to Barbara's extremely hard work & her wonderful office staff, I am now able to happliy move on in my new life! Thank You Barbara!!!!
