Excellent Divorce Attorney

Barry helped navigate my separate and soon to be divorce. He was very helpful and listened to my concerns. Everything was done expeditiously and I'm pleased with the results. I would recommend Barry and his team for any matter in his field. Excellent.

family court case

Barry Gross is excellent! We hired Mr Gross to handle a very difficult matter with my child and her custodial parent. Barry was very calming and knowledgeable. He knows the law. He was able to keep us aware of what could possibly happen through our entire court trial and give us guidance. He was... able to work out a fair settlement in the end. Barry Gross is the best man for the job. He is a great lawyer and a stand up person.

On Child CustodyMatters

I was associated with Barry on a child custody/support matter in a very contested matrimonial. It was on an honor to work with him and his insight and approach to the case was 100% correct.

Posted by anonymous | July 31, 2013 | Divorce & Separation

Definitely recommend

I used Barry twice, once for my intial divorce and once 25 years later to sue my ex-husband for back child support. He got me what I considered an excellent settlement the first time, and close to $100K in back child support the second time. Need I say more?

Consummate professional, outstanding representation, genius at work!

There isn't anyone better! Mr. Gross was absolutely amazing during the most difficult time of my and my children's life, a very difficult and complicated divorce. He handled it with perfection! He came highly recommended, and he did not disappoint! His professionalism, attention to detail, knowle...dge, expertise and command of the law is second to none. His decades of experience were most notable in and out of the court room. He is a powerful oral advocate, brilliant, compelling force with a commanding presence. His compassion, integrity and professionalism shows through his capability to converse and achieve what is in the best interest of his clients. He is a scholar and a gentleman. I was truly honored and blessed to have him as my lawyer. I cannot recommend him highly enough!

  • 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.
