E for Excellent! Safely guided me through my divorce!

Mr. Barker is a fantastic attorney! I cannot imagine having a better experience with my unpleasant divorce. He is confident, assertive, and has a strong presence in the courtroom (and it doesn't hurt that he is always in a well-fitting suit and has crazy good posture). My divorce was final about nin...e months ago and I still do not understand how I walked away in good shape! I was absolutely terrified of my husband and of the divorce process--I am fairly young, in school full-time, and my ex is not kind to say the least--but Mr. Barker walked me through the entire thing with compassion and wisdom. I genuinely felt that he listened to everything I said and fought for what I wanted and what was best for me. He was quick to return my calls if I had to leave a voicemail and always answered all of my questions (even those that were probably irrational). Bonus: I never ever felt like he was talking down to me or over my head. My ex-husband is nasty and spiteful, and Mr. Barker advocated for me in such a way that my ex actually played relatively nice AND he got me a good deal of money when I was expecting absolutely nothing! I know he got me more than what I should have gotten, and I am certain that this only happened because Mr. Barker was dedicated to my case and fought hard for me. His solutions were creative and realistic, and seriously he was so incredibly kind to me throughout the entire process!

Joker

This guy is a joker. I paid him $2500 dollars and never heard anything for three days so I told them I wanted my money back and was firing him. They didn't send me money as I paid online and said they were going to send me a check and I told them I was in Florida. I didn't get home for weeks later... and then cashed their check. They stopped payment on the check because of my online dispute. It has been over 60 days I still don't have my money, my bank doesn't respond so I filed a compliant with the bar. If you want to lose your money hire this guy he's a winner!

I understand that your dispute was with your unresponsive credit card company, which I believed had refunded your payment based on their communication with me. I spoke with you on July 6 and learned from you what the problem was. I mailed you a second full refund check on July 6 and I understand that the problem is resolved.
