Best legal defense available

John and his staff have provided the best legal representation that I have ever witnessed and I have worked with many attorney's in the past. He worked a minor miracle in one case involving one of my children. I would highly recommend John to anyone seeking the best legal representation available in ...Forsyth County.

Relationship: Fellow lawyer in community

"I've worked with Mr. Barrow here in town, most recently where he was the mediator in a family law case I worked on. He was an outstanding mediator, who took the time to hear both sides before making recommendations. He has a very good reputation in the community, and it is well justified. I absolutely recommend Mr. Barrow to potential clients."

Criminal defense lawyer | Jul 23

Relationship: Opposing Counsel on matter

"I endorse this lawyer. John Barrow is highly recognized among his fellow attorneys as one of the best criminal defense attorneys in the State. He is an excellent attorney. As a new attorney, I have been able to stop Mr. Barrow in the hallways of the courthouse and bounce ideas off him. He always takes time to talk with me and give me advice on a matter. He is the attorney's attorney. John Barrow is friendly, smart, experienced, likeable, and knows the law better than anyone I know. If I were in trouble, this is the man I would want to defend me. When a client of mine gets in serious criminal trouble, I send them to John Barrow. I recommend John Barrow without the slightest bit of hesitation."

Relationship: Fellow lawyer in community

"John is the commanding presence you need in the courtroom when the State is trying to take away your freedom and your rights. He doesn't back down from any challenge and won't be intimidated. He is at the top of a very short list of attorneys who I would hire to defend myself or my family if I needed representation."

"Mr. Barrow thinks outside of the box. His almost supernatural ability to read people and discover their motivations is truly amazing. I know very few lawyers with his ability and skill at cross examination. He cares for his clients and his clients know that. He is a great lawyer, teacher, and friend."

Avvo Rating

Our Rating is calculated using information the lawyer has included on their profile in addition to the information we collect from state bar associations and other organizations that license legal professionals. Attorneys who claim their profiles and provide Avvo with more information tend to have a higher rating than those who do not.

What determines Avvo Rating?
  • Experience & background Years licensed, work experience, education
  • Legal community recognition Peer endorsements, associations, awards
  • Legal thought leadership Publications, speaking engagements
  • Discipline Disciplinary information may not be comprehensive, or updated. We recommend that you always check a lawyer's disciplinary status with their respective state bar association before hiring them.
