Consult review

Attorney was attentive and responded to my questions over the phone. I was under the impression I need to be represented by counsel which would be expensive. Mr. Barrett explained that I could file myself due to the divorce being uncontested. He even provided the website to get the documents. I truly... appreciate he honesty. If you need an attorney Michael Barrett is your guy.

Excellent and fair representation

I hired Mr. Barrett to represent me in my divorce. Upon initial consultation he was forthcoming and provided logical clear information about potential course of action. This was refreshing as other attorneys I had spoken to use a “scare tactic” during a time when most people are not thinking logical...ly. Mr. Barrett provided excellent representation through the entire process, he was timely and prompt with all required action in the case. I appreciated his integrity and logical insight, he helped me to think outside of my emotional brain during such a challenging time. This allowed us to come to a fair resolution and not spend a fortune in attorney fees. I would not hesitate to use him in the future!

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.

Amazing and a blessing

Mr. Barrett was a blessing, from consultation to our hearing he was transparent and attentive and assisted me in a very difficult and stressful custody case. I recommend him to anyone who needs a lawyer who isn't going to hide information, play dirty, or not listen to what you or your child needs. 10.../10 blessing.
