Unrivaled and Incomparable

Aside from being an exceptional attorney, Mr Barrett is very humble, patient, professional, knowledgeable and very informative. From my initial consultation to my divorce proceedings and child custody judgement, Mr Barrett has handled my case with professionalism, understanding and efficacy. His pe...rsonality is that of an empathetic individual coupled with a straightforward no-nonsense approach. His communication is timely, he is an active listener and clarity is never an issue. He is also very fair and just as it relates to compensation/lawyer fees. My case was contested and Mr Barrett was the man best suited for the job. If you are looking for competency, efficacy and someone who delivers and advocates for his clients, with extremely favorable and winning outcomes, then I highly recommend Mr Michael Barrett.

Professional and tactical

Let me begin with stating that my family law consultation with Mr. Barrett alone was priceless. Attorney Barrett was attentive and verbally showed compassion for my situation. From day 1, Attorney Barrett had a plan. Unlike many other attorneys that I’ve consulted, Mr. Barrett made me a believer that... a better day would soon come. His eagerness to help along with his open-door policy showed that it wasn’t about the money; it was about something else. In the end, his professional knowledge and tactical methods helped bring positive closure to my 16-year family law case. Look no further, attorney Barrett is the one.

Review

This lawyers is excellent. Helped me in a great time of need when I didn't have a clue of what to do or where to start...He guided me every step of the way and explained everything along the way that I could understand....made me feel confident about my case so much that when I won, he instilled that... in me. Very reasonable and will work with you, not just brush you off and collect your money, but actually cares...he is one of the very few out lawyers present today that actually listen and care about his Clients

Extremely helpful and eager on such short notice!

I was desperately seeking counsel to help me on such short notice (3 days to be exact) with a case when Michael called me on a Friday afternoon. I live in Pennsylvania and needed help with a case that was active in Maryland. Even on such short notice, he was affordable, flexible and made himself avai...lable to present my case. My hearing was that Tuesday morning and after speaking with Michael for only a short time, he reassured me that he would help me with my case and that we’d be successful. He was right!!! Michael was eager to make sure my case was heard and that I was treated fairly by the Maryland courts. He was able to balance both being personable and professional. His personality was always positive from the moment I told him my story. He worked incredibly fast and assisted me with all of my paperwork in order to get me the outcome which I desired. I would definitely recommend Michael and (not that I plan on needing counsel again) I plan on keeping his information for future references.
