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.

3rd Times a Charm!!!

Mike Barrett saved me from a lifetime of alimony. After 2 lawyers quit on me because I disagreed with their lackadaisical approach to handling my divorce, Mike came in 2 weeks before trial and made my wife and her attorney look like scam artists. Mike got me off alimony, half custody of my kid, 50% o...f all marital property...the only outcome I could ever ask for, COMPLETE FAIRNESS!!! Mike is extremely personable, genuine, always on time, and always made time. My only regret is not hiring Mike Barrett from the beginning!!!

Go to lawyer

I had family law case. Mr Barrett, was very informative and professional. He was always available for questions and he didn't sugar coat anything. He was straight to the point and very clear about my case. I appreciated that. I didn't understand all the legal terminology and he gladly explained it to... me. It was a pleasure to work with him and I would use him again. I definitely recommend him to anyone who needs a good lawyer.

Child custody

Mike was very informative and patient with me and my case. He would ALWAYS answer my calls and return missed calls. Most importantly he educated me on process and gave a very honest opinion of things, wish I would have listened to more of his advice...lol. But overall I was very pleased with the outc...ome of my case!!! I would HIGHLY recommend him to anyone whose is looking for an honest and hardworking lawyer!!!
