Fought Hard For Me & Will For You!

In February of 2014, Attorney Barron was the only attorney who would even think about taking on my wrongful termination case & not only did he take it on, but he fought harder than I could ever hope for legal council to fight for me & what was right. I would recommend Attorney Barron to anyone with a...ny sort of Employment or Labor Law legal needs.

Professional and personal

Recently Attorney Barron represented me in an employment discrimination case against my employer. I was very satisfied on how he handled the case and the outcome. Attorney Barron was very detailed and always looked out for my welfare during the course of the law suit. Although he was always profess...ional, he treated us like we were family. I would highly recommend Attorney Barron for any legal matters that you may encounter, because you will get an attorney that cares about you and your welfare.

Hire this lawyer! NOW!!

Attorney Barron has been representing me in a complex employment matter (involving a number of discrimination incidents, ADA violations, FMLA violations, civil rights violations, wrongful termination, retaliation, and other issues) regarding my previous (government agency) employer since 2013. A...lthough my case still hasn't reached a resolution yet (due to court holding things up...NOT my awesome attorney!), I am confident that Attorney Barron`s extensive professional knowledge, impressive skills and talents, hard work ethic and genuine dedication will result in a successful outcome! I'm certain you too will be as confident with this attorney! Personally, what I especially appreciate and respect about Attorney Barron most of all is the genuine kindness, concern, respect, compassion, and dedication he always shows me, and every one of his other clients! For highly competent representation with personal service a larger firm could never begin to match, Attorney Barron is THE lawyer to have on your side!!!

Very Satisfied!

I needed an immigration lawyer to obtain an official citizenship certificate for my daughter who was adopted from China. George was wonderful, knowledgeable, and always kept me informed. He also answered my phone calls promptly. I received my daughter's certificate recently--entire process took onl...y 4 months. Very pleased with Attorney Barron!

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.
