Barrett is the best advocate and attorney you will find!

I hired Barrett because he showed me within minutes of meeting him that he understood what my goals and priorities were for my divorce and life. He was in agreement with me on big-picture goals but never just told me what I wanted to hear. He offered a dynamic approach to meeting my goals. He explain...ed the difficult aspects of my case with understanding and compassion. Barrett laid out a strategy and timeline from the start, and we stuck to that throughout the process. He expertly applied the law to my case, explained what he thought might happen based on experience, and described the pros/cons of each option. I clicked with him immediately and knew I was going to hire him within the first 10 minutes of our first meeting. Barrett was the trustworthy, confident, powerful, reliable, and friendly presence I needed at an uncertain time. He exudes knowledge, strength, power, respect, and professionalism in the courtroom, during hearings, and conferences. He always came prepared and fought zealously for me. I was in awe of his abilities in the courtroom and with opposing counsel. This man knows how to fight for his clients. I constantly felt proud and lucky to have him leading my team. He juxtaposes that strength with kind, empathetic, friendly, and helpful conversations and meetings with clients. I always felt like his top priority. He was constantly working to meet my goals - big and small. It's clear he's well respected by his peers, and his stellar reputation lends itself well to your case. He is fully devoted to his clients. On a personal level, I found Barrett to be friendly, approachable, kind, funny, and empathetic. His personality and friendly, upbeat attitude were especially welcome before court appearances when I was feeling nervous. I'm not sure how someone with such confidence, knowledge, power, and command can be so chill, down-to-earth, and kind. Barrett manages to spell out a realistic view of your case without offering false hope or unrealistic expectations. He is patient and strives to understand you and your goals. I felt he truly cared about the outcome of my case, and I never felt like just another client or that Barrett was only in this for the money. He wanted things to work out for me. He made sure his role in my divorce was a positive one. Everything he advised had a strategy and plan behind it, which was explained if I ever had questions. I was never left wondering what was going to happen, what something meant, or even wondering about Barrett's own impression of my case. I was in the loop all the time and in real-time. Barrett was supportive and encouraging. I think most people need support from a multitude of people to make it through a divorce feeling human. Barrett was instrumental in that support for me. I was pleasantly surprised at how accessible Barrett makes himself to his clients. I *never* went more than a few hours without a response. Most times, Barrett would respond to me within minutes of texting, emailing, or calling. Barrett made himself available literally anytime I needed anything. Literally anytime. He always takes his time with you to answer all your questions fully. I am so incredibly grateful and lucky to have found this firm. I'm certain things would have been very different if I had hired some other attorney. Barrett's expertise, reputation, knowledge, and understanding of the law are invaluable. Access to a team like the one at Mack & Associates is invaluable. It's worth it to have such representation and support. Clients should feel proud to have them as representation; opposing parties should not underestimate them. Mack & Associates, and Barrett in particular, have my absolute highest and most fervent recommendation. I thank them all and cannot express my gratitude enough!

Thank You Team Mack

Not sure I have the vocabulary to express my gratitude to Barrett and his entire team. I walked into his office at rock bottom. I write this review today, less than 3 months later, a new man. A better man. Divorce sucks, especially with young kids. I won’t get into the details of my particular sit...uation, but it was a toxic one. I had to fight false allegations in a system that doesn’t favor fathers and I was months/years behind in what was supposed to be an “amicable” split. Barrett and his team do not back down. They are professional, tough and supported me when I needed to be supported. They moved mountains for me. My boys’ mother gave me 3 days to get out of “her” house before I even had an attorney. 2 months later (to the day) Team Mack had a signed separation agreement completed and she was out of MY house. I am eternally grateful to Barrett, Amanda, Sara, Jean & Becky and wholeheartedly recommend Team Mack to anyone going through divorce. After my experience, there’s no one else I would use.

Excellent Representation

From the moment I met the Barrett I could sense his professionalism, knowledge, and dedication to his clients. He was attentive to my needs, listened carefully to my concerns, and kept me informed every step of the way. The entire firm was so pleasant and helpful. Throughout the proceedings Barret...t demonstrated exceptional legal skills, thoroughness, and attention to detail. He navigated the complex landscape with confidence and skill, always keeping my best interests in mind. Thanks to his hard work, I was able to achieve an outcome that exceeded my expectations. His dedication and perseverance truly made a difference in my life and the life of my children I highly recommend him to anyone who needs legal representation in a custody dispute.

Best of the best

Attorney Barrett and his team were exceptional. I needed to switch attorneys as our trial was getting set to begin and he was recommended to me. I was very nervous about the switch however they exceeded all of my expectations. They were attentive, knowledgeable and responsive. Our custody case was co...mplicated and on the heels of my sisters death. It was handled with professionalism and he came up to speed very quickly. They came to know to my family well and that level of knowledge was critical in my case. I would recommend him to anyone but especially if your custody case is complicated or not a typical case.

Though we lost, Barrett is still #1

It’s hard to give a top score when you’ve lost a case, so this tells you how good this guy is. His office is a well-oiled, efficient machine. He’s a hands-on, dedicated, knowledgeable strategist, & compassionate person whose exterior is a tough-as-nails, fearless legal pro.
