Curtis Elwyn Barnes

I hired mr Barnes for a dui defense. My instructions were specific: read my discovery and tell me if I have a viable defense. After that, based on your recommendation, we’ll go from there. Immediately he’s off to try and plea deal. 6 months later and he still hasnt read my discovery and is still talk...ing pleas. The plea deal is for 3-6 months on a first dui offense and I have now 45 days to take the deal or pay him $7500 to go on trial where if I lose I get 3-6 months. I’m completely at a loss as to what to do. This case should have been dismissed in pre trial motions but that deadline was exhausted by by attorney and now I have no more remedies left.

Curtis went above and beyond for my son. Working hard making time for him aggressive kind representation. Great preparation. And got his f3 charge reduced to m3. And kept in touch after to make sure everything is ok. I would highly recommend curtis for any situation you have. It's a blessing... to have him as our lawyer and will also refer back to him again if we need to. Highly highly recommend him. He brings peace of mind and explains everything fully in great detail. Curtis thanks for all you done for my son you are greatly appreciated.

Long story short, I'm from New York, and was charged with a probation violation out of Lebanon County back in 2008. A bench warrant was issued, but I was never made aware of it, even though I never charged my address since I was originally sentenced. I only found out about it on my own when I tried... to get a passport. I called Mr Barnes to help me out. Lebanon County wanted me to turn myself in. Attorney Barnes told me not to do that because it would be days or weeks that I would be sitting in jail waiting for a hearing. Instead, he filed a motion with the court and got a specific date for a hearing. On the day of the hearing, I drove back to Lebanon from NY. While I still could have been looking at more time in jail, Mr. Barnes negotiated my immediate release the same day! I am extremely pleased with how Attorney Barnes worked things out.

I lost my job back in 2016 due to a physical injury. My bills piled up, judgments were filed against me, and my bank started foreclosure on my house. I was really desperate and didn't know what to do. I met with Mr. Barnes and he listened carefully to me as I explained my situation to him. Afte...r going over several options I decided my best remedy was to file bankruptcy. After getting all of my information together, Mr. Barnes prepared the papers needed to file my case. He reviewed everything with me before sending my case into court to make sure everything was right. He prepared me for what to expect in court, which made me feel more at ease. My case went very smoothly and I am now out of debt. Throughout my case, Mr. Barnes treated me with great respect and like a friend.
