If you want honest and noble Harvey’s the attorney for you!

Harvey Barbee has handled several of my domestic and criminal issues. He made the process simple and always kept me informed on the status of my case. He always had my best interest in mind and genuinely advocated for me. I highly recommend Harvey to handle any of your legal matters. He is kind, resp...ectful and he knows what he is doing. Best attorney in town.

The Best

Mr. Barbee is one of the best men I've ever known. My husband is a truck driver and we had shall we say a rather wild and defiant child. Who I was on my own with. For 9 very long yrs Mr. Barbee was right in the trenches with me. Because he held a broken mothers hand EVERY step of the way, my chil...d is now becoming the man we always knew he could be. We will forever be grateful. He never gave up on us and believe me if it were me I would have. Thank you Harvey for everything. You truly are the best! #lawyerwithaheart!

3rd party child custody case WON

Harvey literally helped change my life forever! If it had not been for his willingness to even take on a case as challenging as mine in the first place, I know the outcome would not have been as positive as it was. Harvey helped me gain full custody of my two year old nephew from my sister who is his... biological mother. Right from the beginning, I knew that third party child custody cases were extremely complicated and proving a biological mother is unfit is more than difficult. Harvey was always willing to talk/meet with me to provide the guidance and assurance I needed and always kept me well informed of what was going on. During the trial, Harvey was absolutely amazing in the way he presented my case. He refined all the evidence down into a very focused and targeted case. The judge was quickly able to determine how overwhelming the evidence was as he presented it. The case only took half a day and it was a landslide victory. Harvey was very well-prepared in every aspect and during the trial, his immense knowledge along with his strategic approach proved to be fundamentally effective. I now can face every day without the worry of having this child taken away, I can focus on his future because of Harvey Barbee, I could not be happier with the outcome.

This attorney accomplished the IMPOSSIBLE for me. EXTREMELY SATISFIED

Harvey Barbee is an attorney who is so skilled that he accomplished what other lawyers said was not possible. Many hesitated to take my case. Without going into specific detail, Harvey was successful at returning custody of my daughter to me. Harvey had many challenges to deal with. Through an incre...dible amount of hard work and patience, while observing all laws, he managed to get the opposing party served and a hearing arranged. He successfully had jurisdiction transferred to the county of my residence and a date set for the hearing. The hearing was extremely difficult because there was a great deal of evidence that had to be presented appropriately and convincingly. This included audio recordings, emails, documents, and photographs. Harvey demonstrated the skill of an attorney with many more years of experience as he offered up rebuttal after rebuttal to any argument that opposing counsel was able to come up with. To say that Harvey is well prepared for any given situation is an understatement. He has a sixth sense in the courtroom regarding what is coming next and he is able to prevent any possible cracks from forming in his case. I have dealt with lawyers before who ended up taking my money and doing nothing for me. I can honestly say that throughout this entire ordeal, I have never been so impressed. Harvey accomplished the impossible and I could tell that the judge was impressed with him. He returned my daughter to me. But most importantly, Harvey listened to me and worked diligently to understand my case and what was best for my child in this custody situation. His constant communication with me was very appreciated. He clearly communicated his strategy every step of the way. If you are a person facing a custody situation and you feel like you have been wronged by the court system and other lawyers, I urge you to contact Harvey Barbee. Harvey is well-suited to serve your needs and I guarantee you will be pleased. To me, what he accomplished was nothing short of a miracle.
