My lawyer for life!

Mr. Rowell took great care and showed excellent trial skills representing me on my legal matter. I was blown away with the outcome and could not have asked for better, more competent representation. He explained the process thoroughly and he did a great job in the court room. Plus, for the work that ...he did and the outcome, his fees were very reasonable.

Mr. Rowell is a very trustworthy lawyer.

It is very appreciative the labor and effort you guys put into my case. You all handled my case very professional and very efficiently. When other supposedly professional lawyers didn't want to take my case. You were there for me. I am definitely satisfied with the services you provided for me. Thank... you for taking the time. Hope to hear from you guys soon. I definitely recommend your services to anybody who is in doubts about you and your firm. You and your secretaries are superb. Keep up the great job. Wish you the best for years to come. Sincerely, Nicolas

Great Representation for My Employment Case

Mr. Rowell represented me regarding a No-Compete agreement and did an excellent job. He did an exceptional job protecting my interests, defended me every step of the way and answered all of my questions. He really gave 100% and I would recommend him to anyone.

"I have referred dozens of clients to Barry for all areas of business law issues and everyone is tremendously happy with his services. Barry is a highly qualified professional lawyer, who gets immediate results for his clients. He represents many high profile businesses and clients. Barry is probably the guy who made all “A’s” in law school, although you would never know it, because he is so personable and down to earth. His clients love him. But, better than that, he gets amazing results for his clients! Barry is the guy other attorneys turn to when they have business law questions. I highly recommend Barry Rowell!"

Workers compensation lawyer | Sep 30

Relationship: Co-worker

"I have the opportunity and pleasure to view Barry on a day to day basis, as I have many other attorneys in the past. What separates Barry is dedication, not only to the final outcome, but to his client. He truly cares for each client and works tirelessly towards the goal of attaining the best solution possible. The clients are not simply a file, they are individuals that have a difficult situation to which Barry commits all his attention and knowledge. Furthermore, Barry views each claim as completely unique. Barry's approach to each injury case is determined not by what has been done in another matter in the past, but by what the individual particular client needs. A personal interest is taken in the client and Barry creates a game plan which will best compensate that individual. Worker's Compensation is a detailed field of law to which Barry has dedicated himself to providing the most competent representation possible while still maintaining a personal connection."
