Fantastic Job

Mr.Barber did a fantastic job, From the beginning he answered all my questions all my emails regarding my court case. Had me back in my home with in less than 30days. Made the process very easy with in 6 months all my charges were dropped. I couldn’t have had a better attorney.

Someone you want in your corner

John was a fantastic defense attorney. Being that I have never been in any legal trouble in my life and had no idea what to do, not only was he affordable compared to other attorneys for first offense, but he has been doing this a long time and explained the process in ways I could understand. He has... a lot of experience and is quite knowledgeable and having been a prosecutor before becoming a defense attorney, he knows a lot of people in the courts. He never gave me unrealistic expectations and always explained what I could potentially be facing for my DUI charge. And he was able to get me the best possible outcome for my situation. I will always recommend his services to anyone I come across who needs it.

Above and beyond.

Words cannot express my experience with Mr Barber. Prior to my case being initiated, he assisted me through the entire investigation stage to keep me up to date on what’s going on. Once charges were brought, he continued to educate me and keep me in the loop on every step of the progress, including w...hat to expect and what I should (and should not) do. I was facing a minimum of 10 years in prison - and the outcome was simply a year of probation for a misdemeanor charge. John is a great mentor, provides fantastic legal advise, and has great connections within the system to assist his clients in every way he can. He is clearly a well respected lawyer amongst the community as well. His decades of experience clearly came in handy. If I were to need his services again, I would go right back to Mr. Barber in a heartbeat. His price for service is reasonable and was worth every last dime!

Highly recommended

“I offer the highest possible recommendation (A+++) for Attorney John Barber to represent anyone that requires a Criminal Defense Attorney”. I would like to personally “Thank” Criminal Defense Attorney Mr. John Barber and his staff with handling a delicate situation. He and his staff were very pol...ite, provided excellent service, demonstrated professionalism, and exhibited personal attention to all details. He even took the time to explain to me page by page about some documents that I had received from a 3rd party, which by the way, it was on his spare time (weekend) to answer all of my concerns about those documents. He responded on every email whenever I had questions and concerns. He always provided me with accurate answers. Furthermore, he was able to have all charges dropped! His fee is very reasonable and in my opinion, Attorney John Barber is an EXPERT in Criminal Defense. He’s the BEST in the State of Delaware. I highly recommend using Criminal Defense Attorney John Barber. Thank you, Elizabeth
