The best!

I hired Mr. Barber the day before my preliminary hearing was scheduled. He was up front and honest with me and gave me very realistic real life expectations on various ways my case could go. He read over the paperwork with me and explained everything to me in detail in words that made sense to me. He... made me feel as comfortable as possible given the circumstances. Within 20 minutes he came back to me and said that he made a call and had the charges dropped against me. I was so relieved I bounced in my chair 3 times. I would highly recommend John Barber if you’re looking for a criminal defense attorney. He’s professional, honest, courteous, realistic, and kind but above all he gets the job done. If you’re having a doubt about whether or not he’s worth it, take my word from my first hand experience he’s worth it. Thank you Mr. Barber for helping me when I needed it the most. Your services will not soon be forgotten. And I’m going to be a client for life and will recommend him to anyone in need of an 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.

  • 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.
