Separation Navigation

I can't say enough good things about Daryn and the incredible support her team provided during my separation process. As a father going through such a difficult and emotional time, I was feeling overwhelmed and unsure of how to navigate the legal complexities involved. From the moment I reached out t...o them, I felt heard, respected, and reassured that I had a team that genuinely cared about my case and my well-being. Daryn at Barker Family Law was not only highly knowledgeable and professional, but she also took the time to explain everything in detail so I could make informed decisions every step of the way. She understood the importance of being a father in this situation and worked hard to ensure that my rights were protected. I was particularly impressed with how empathetic and patient she was, always answering my questions promptly and making sure I understood all of my options. Thanks to her expertise, we were able to come to a fair and positive resolution that put my child's best interests first. I truly believe that without their guidance and dedication, the process would have been much more stressful and uncertain. If you’re a parent going through a similar situation, I highly recommend Barker Family Law. They made an incredibly challenging experience much more manageable and were a true advocate for my family.

A wonderful attorney that cares

I am writing today to provide my highest recommendation for Daryn Barker. When I met Daryn, I was in an unhappy marriage and looking for help and advice. At our first meeting, she listened to me and offered kindness, support, and confidence in a positive outcome. I cannot imagine that I was the easie...st client to work with because I was hesitant to move forward and there were delays and complications with my ex throughout the process. Daryn was incredibly supportive at every twist and turn and always there to talk me through the process and help ease my fears. Her legal advice and strategy resulted in an outcome that I would not have believed possible when everything started. I would recommend Daryn to anyone seeking the advice of counsel for family matters. She is easy to talk to and work with, incredibly intelligent, and understands how to navigate the legal process to get the best outcome for her client. Daryn genuinely cares about her clients and works tirelessly on their behalf. She is also one of the nicest and kindest people I have had the pleasure of meeting.

Miracle worker

My nightmare went on due Covid & court delays caused by my ex for almost 5 years. Throughout that time, Daryn, Andrew, and April, did amazing. Constant & quick communication whenever I had a problem, question, or any time anything arose. When D-day finally started, Daryn & Andrew were awesome. I was ...so scared for the possibility of losing because I didn’t want to get my hopes up, but they spent hours with me getting me ready, helping my witnesses gain confidence (with all of us having severe anxiety issues this is not easy trust me). Daryn always had my children’s best interest at heart, and never let even the smallest things like my ex forgetting their birthdays escape her cross examination. She took every opportunity to reassure me that we would be fine, we were prepared, and did SO much work and research to keep it that way. I will warn you, always be honest with her. Even if it won’t make you look good, trust me, she can work amazingly, but she can’t help overcome what she doesn’t know about. This process is not an easy one, but I will say it was made much better with her beside me. She was an absolute bulldog, never letting up. Trust me when I say, especially with kids, you want her on your side with you, not across from you. Andrew became involved towards the end of my case, but was amazing to offer fresh eyes and different ways of looking at things. Everyone always made sure me and my boys were good, and helped with any suggestions they could think of to make our case that much stronger. I got visitation ordered just the way I wanted, and I’m convinced this firm made the difference in that happening. I can never thank them enough for making my first holidays post divorce the best to come and finally ending my nightmare.

Divorce

Daryn Barker with Barker Family Law did a fabulous job representing me during my divorce. She represented me well in court, and during a very difficult mediation. Her communication was fantastic, and she made sure I was as prepared as possible for the difficult journey of divorce after being married ...for 32 years. She's a bulldog and doesn't back down when faced with difficult spouses. She was reassuring and impeccably prepared for whatever was thrown our way. I'm incredibly blessed to have been referred to her, and have already sent multiple people her way. If you find yourself in a toxic marriage as I did, you can't go wrong hiring Daryn. She's brilliant in every sense of the word.

Professional, Tough and Honest Divorce Attorney

I never thought I would need to hire a divorce attorney and then I found myself telling details of my marriage to Attorney Daryn Barker. From the first moment I sat in her office, she treated me with dignity and respect. She was honest with me about all of my options and told me all of the pros and... cons to each of them. She kept me calm and at peace when everything was crumbling at my feet. Daryn and her Paralegal, April were always quick to respond and for my situation that was priceless.
