Compassionate and caring attorney

I was charge with extra martial sexual conduct and violation of good order and discipline. Attorney Barry made ta great argument and i was found not guilty o f the extra marital sexual conduct. He rebutted the guilty finding of violation of 600-20 good order and discipline. He was very responsive t...o my calls and concerns and took in all of the evidence. He gave me no nonsense advice and I am grateful for his service.

Cadet

I was tagged with a minor infraction by a zealous ranking officer and searched for an attorney with experience in military procedure. Matt did not disappoint, he made himself immediately available, demonstrated his command of the process by outlining all the possibilities and helped me develop a lo...gical approach to the kangaroo court. Matt could have easily taken advantage of my ignorance and emotion to lock in billable hours but he chose to be a man of honor, a trait not very common in his profession of bottom dwellers. I was almost disappointed not to do battle in court with him at my side.

Helpful, Knowledgable, Life-saving

I ended up in a jam toward the end of my military service. Thankfully due to the expertise and knowledge of Attorney Barry, I was able to separate under honorable conditions and retain all the benefits entitled to me. Without his help, I would not have had this type of outcome. Thank you so much, A...ttorney Barry!

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.
