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.

She’s just different!

So I’ve been in a situation for a while with the mother of my children which I will not go into deep detail about, however on September 25th, 2019 I was granted legal joint custody for my awesome children. Moving forward the mother had left the state of South Carolina prior to the hearing on 9/25..., and with that being her 8th move in 5 different states I figured I would still have the upper hand. Wrong! So I decided to reach out to Ms. Daryn Barker for legal advice and I explained the entire situation and also scanned my court docs over for her to review. Note: I’m an African American Man and it pleases me to see Caucasian Americans who care about African American fathers having major roles in their children’s lives especially male children. Moving forward, so we spoke the same day I reached out (surprisingly) and I could feel the passion and pain she had after hearing my situation. She listened and listened more and gave me honest answers along with sympathy. Ms. Daryn Barker then told me she’s going to review and look into a few things later that evening about my case and get back to me the following day. She kept her word and we spoke about the situation the next day. Now although she wouldn’t be able to assist me because of a certain law in place (mom) has been gone for more than 6 months out of the state, however she gave me the best answer she could and I followed up the same day with the Clerk of Court in Florida where (mom) is located to get it resolved and what do you know boom all I have to do is get the order registered so it’ll be enforced, because (mom) is has been giving me an extremely hard time. There’s no words to express the gratitude I have for this woman/lady/superstar lawyer! Now understand this she offers a free consultation, I offered to pay she refused I offered again she refused again, and her last words were “I care about people” need I say more! Thank you, God is truly going to deliver prosperity and longevity in your life, and there’s no weapon formed against you shall prosper and that’s something you can count on! Be well.

Transgender name change

We consulted then hired her to handle name change. Took care of it like she said she would. Easy to work with and understanding. I would go back to her. Awesome attorney over all.
