I am an attorney located in Commack, NY. The majority of my practice is dedicated to Divorce and Matrimonial law, including issues that often go hand in hand with divorces, such as foreclosure defense. I represent people at both the trial and appellate level, and my skills as an appellate lawyer allows me to create a good appeal or protect against an appeal as a trial unfolds.
That being said, the majority of my cases wind up settling, and I consider an agreement a win more than I do than winning at trial.

Doug has been my lawyer for years and I am very grateful for him. Doug took a chance on me when nobody would and turned my life around completely. I came to Doug for help because my Family had power of attorney over my money and took it, not only did Doug come to my rescue, he also helped me win my ...

I had a legal problem that I was certain might lead to an appeal. So, I figured I would first talk to an appellate attorney. Doug defended me in my civil case and he literally crushed the Plaintiff and showed the court and the Plaintiff's attorney the likelihood of defeat. This one day, one day, forc...

I wish I could give Mr. Barics ten stars for all his help. He represented in an ugly divorce for years until 2017. I had some problems and contacted Mr. Barics for help. One hour later we spoke and got amazing answers to my questions all at no charge. Thank you so much, Mr. Barics, you are the bes...

Mr Barics got me a fantastic agreement. My husband hired one of the biggest divorce firms on Long Island. They tried ti bulky us into a terrible agreement. When Mr Barics said we will go to trial all of a sudden they folded and gave me exactly what I wanted from the beginning. It was an ugly divo...
"I endorse this lawyer. We have been adversaries many times both at the trial level and on appeals, and Mr. Barics is smart, competent, and aggressive for his clients. I have recommended him in situations where I have had conflicts or did not otherwise accept a case."
"I have been acquainted with Doug for several years and have worked together on several matters. Doug is a diligent, excellent attorney that strives to achieve the best possible results for his clients."
"I have had a number of cases against Mr. Barics over the years. Doug Barics is a powerful advocate for all his clients while maintaining a level of professionalism admired by judges and fellow attorneys. Based upon my experience as an adversary attorney, I strongly endorse Mr. Barics."
"I am a practicing attorney in the field of Matrimonial and Family Law for over 35 years. I have been fortunate enough to have several cases as opposing counsel to Mr. Barics. He consistently represented his clients in the most professional and zealous manner. He always exhibited a strong courtroom presence and was clearly well respected by the courtroom staff and judges, and most importantly, his peers."
"Mr. Barics is an extremely knowledgeable attorney in various practice areas, allowing him to assist his clients across a broad spectrum of legal issues. I have worked with Mr. Barics on numerous matters where complex issues or high net worth clients were involved. He was an invaluable asset to the client in these matters and was a pleasure to work with."
"I am an attorney. I have co-counseled with Doug in some complicated divorce cases, and appeals, and found him to be highly knowledgable and thorough in his analyses of issues. Some of these are high stakes cases. One such case involved a judge evicting a husband from the family home. The judge's ruling was issued without proper due process. With Doug's legal know-how, I was able to successfully get the eviction over-turned on an emergency appeal and the husband was not evicted. Also, Doug is a strong advocate but without arrogance. I've seen him in action and he brings civility to the courtroom."
