Barri H Payne

I am an attorney practicing since 1999. I chose Mrs. Payne to handle my separation and divorce proceedings and couldn't be happier. She was very easy to talk to about very difficult terms of my separation agreement, which is important at the beginning of one of the most trying times of my life. She ...handled everything, from drafting, filing, and dealing with my spouse’s legal counsel. When it came to the divorce, I didn’t have to do anything, she handled it all. She works electronically, so we had very few face to face meetings. She was compassionate, empathetic, competent, and dependable. That is what I needed and she was right there. I highly recommend Ms. Payne for divorce proceedings.

When I met and subsequently retained Barri, I had already been through my divorce and was facing custody complications. As anyone feels in those situations, it was a real mess. From the beginning, Barri was able to help me see the pros and cons of the situation and the possible paths to resolution.... I will say this, no one really ever wants to go to court over these things. However, when you walk into the courtroom and the first thing the judge indicates is that you have made a great choice as to who is representing you, some of the nerves just fade away. I already felt as if I couldn't be represented any better. If you find yourself in need of a family attorney, you should most certainly meet with Barri. She is the consummate professional, very knowledgealbe, very responsive and communicative, and at the same time very compassionate and understanding. While my situation ended up in court, she is also very skilled at resolving things via mediation as well. If I could emphasize any further how grateful I am for Barri and how highly I would recommend her, I would rate 10 stars out of 5. Thank you
