Outstanding Attorney!

I am so completely satisfied with hiring Barbara O’Hara as my attorney. Right from the start she exhibited such grace, brilliance, passion, dedication, and professionalism. She worked very hard and quickly on my child custody case. She has excellent communication skills, as she was always so quick... with returning my phone calls and emails – and very quick with sending me any needed documents via email or regular mail. Her performance in the court room was outstanding. It is apparent that she is experienced in her field and extremely knowledgeable on all sorts of topics. She is articulate, diligent, trustworthy, reassuring and her opinions and advice have always helped my case. I always felt as if she could read my mind and fully understand me as a person, which helped tremendously. I was so desperate for the court to see the truth and because of Barbara O’Hara, the truth had certainly prevailed, and then some. My family members who have also helped me to find Barbara O’Hara are extremely impressed with Barbara O’Hara’s performance and very happy with the outcome of my case. My family and I are eternally grateful for her service, and I hereby recommend Barbara O’Hara without reservation.

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.
