Integrity

I had hired an attorney close to 2 years prior to meeting Barbara. My old attorney barely did anything on my case. Once I hire Barbara, she started working diligently on my case and just helped me wrap up my divorce case. She was timely in her communication and showed integrity in everything she d...id. I appreciate her hard work and dedication.

Compassionate Attorney

I retained Barbara Fuller in 2003 for a custody and child support case, and could not be happier with the results. She is an amazing woman and what sets her apart from other attorneys is her compassion, integrity, and ability to show empathy for all clients. You can not go wrong with Barbara and I ha...ve referred her for years!!!

Missing in action

Barbara was hired for my divorce case. She never had time to meet with me before the court dates, never wanted to do any show causes, but I ended up going to court 18 times to defend myself. Yes defend myself. She wasn’t able to review the information I had for her prior so we both looked like idiot...s compared to the other well prepared attorney. She left very significant things out of my decree that were discussed and she “forgot” to include them and signed without my consent on my behalf. I honestly wouldn’t recommend her to my worst enemy. She apparently has too many cases & not enough time. Always an excuses as to why she couldn’t meet with me although I was still paying her to represent me. She did not finish the paperwork necessary for me to obtain benefits from the military because I asked her if it was possible if we could “get it together” before we went to court.

Disappointed

I hired Barbara Fuller to handle my second divorce, no children. Ms. Fuller was a CPA before becoming a lawyer. This was the second time I had worked with her. Excellent work as a CPA, so I used her again. Interviewed three lawyers, she was the only one to READ the first filing and saw a major mistak...e by the plaintiff. Unfortunately, after advising(attorney client privilege) not to tell the opposing attorney, she told him 5 minutes before entering the court room. With this information, he got two week to resubmit, granted by the court. If you want to talk, very good at letting you. Two and half years of slow movement, then a rapid settlement, but I was on my own to decide, no advice. Ms. Fuller said take it, I said no and won everything I stood my ground on. I was forced to choose between a hanging judge and a retired one. No talk of how work the case or strategy. One example of lack of knowledge, knowing I was forced by law to retire, with drop in pay, did not put a drop dead in the court filing. Court made me pay temporary alimony until the final with no money from my job. In the end the unpaid alimony was used as a credit for the plaintiff. All legal paperwork was dead on for courts, just no smart ideas based on her hourly rate.

"I endorse this lawyer. From my experience, having had Barbara on the other side of several cases and also as a GAL in a child custody case, Barbara is very knowledgable of the law, she zealously represents her clients, and she is very professional. Barbara is a CPA as well and her financial acumen greatly enhances her ability to handle the financial matters in her cases."

Family lawyer | Feb 25

Relationship: Fellow lawyer in community

"I endorse this lawyer.. Also for adoption, divorce, separation, and support issues, as well as business law, but can't seem to be able to include those areas in answer to the above question Barbara is unique among family lawyers in that she brings her CPA knowledge to the economic issues that are always part of a divorce. She is kind and thoughtful to her clients and respectful to all, but behind that demeanor she is assertive and gets the job done."
