A TRUE SUPER LAWYER!!!!

I have been a client of Mr. Covert on a couple occasions and would like to share my experiences with people searching for a true super lawyer. I hired Barry based on a google search for a top rated lawyer. What i recieved from him was above all that i had ever expected. I have used 4 to 5 lawyers in ...my lifetime and none can compare to Barry. He is not the lawyer that collects your money and makes a plea bargain to settle your case. Barry fought my cases tooth and nail and exhausted every avenue in the legal relm. He did not take pleas and pushed for everything he believed in. My case had a better outcome than i believe 99% of attorneys would have been able to achieve. Barry is the best and i highly recommend him to anybody searching for a true super lawyer. There is no price you can put on your freedom and if you treasure that as much as i do hire Barry.

Avvo Rating

Our Rating is calculated using information the lawyer has included on their profile in addition to the information we collect from state bar associations and other organizations that license legal professionals. Attorneys who claim their profiles and provide Avvo with more information tend to have a higher rating than those who do not.

What determines Avvo Rating?
  • Experience & background Years licensed, work experience, education
  • Legal community recognition Peer endorsements, associations, awards
  • 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.
