Jenny is incredible

Jenny is absolutely incredible! She will fight for you and genuinely cares about getting you the best possible outcome. She is honest, straightforward and compassionate. She is extremely skilled with all of her legal knowledge. She is quick and eloquent and will be your voice when you’re finding it ...impossible to speak. She is amazing! I highly recommend her for your legal matters. I wish I had of found her before my first lawyer.

Skilled Attorney Who Helped Me End Alimony Obligations

I hired the Barwick Law Firm to help me with a complex post-divorce issue involving alimony. From the very beginning, she approached my case with professionalism, deep legal knowledge, and a clear strategy tailored to my situation. What impressed me most was Jenny Barwick's ability to clearly ex...plain the legal process, set realistic expectations, and then work diligently to achieve the best possible outcome. Thanks to her expertise and dedication, we were successful in modifying and ultimately terminating my alimony obligation. Throughout the process, Jenny Barwick and her entire team remained accessible, responsive, and genuinely invested in my case. I felt supported every step of the way and appreciated her honest, straightforward communication. I highly recommend the Barwick Law Firm to anyone dealing with family law matters. Jenny Barwick is not only a skilled attorney but also someone you can trust to fight for your best interests. — Paul

The BEST advocate to have on your side

Definitely impossible to put into words how grateful I am for Jenny Barwick. She is so much more than an attorney and made sure that me and my four sons were safe and secure moving forward. Her attention to detail and foresight into some very complicated issues regarding my divorce and child custod...y case were amazing. She always responds to questions, forgets nothing, has an amazing paralegal, and advocates for her clients the way I wish all attorneys would. If you want the best lawyer in Greenville or Spartanburg, hire Jenny.

The absolute best!

I absolutely love Jenny and she was such a pleasure to work with. She is always prompt with her work and makes sure things get done right. She took in my case as if it were her own and devoted all of her energy into making sure my son was safe and taken care of in the present and for the future. Not... only did she do great at her job, but she ALWAYS built my confidence back up in myself and made me feel like I could conquer anything. I remember the first day I met her, I was tearing up and she told me to go home and put a sticky note on my mirror that says "You're a great mom" so I would remind myself everyday. If there is anyone you want on your side, it's definitely her. Thank you so much for everything, Jenny!

Outstanding Attorney—Direct, Competent, and Truly Helpful

I highly recommend Jenny without reservation. I initially hired her for one case and I have also consulted with her on a separate matter, and in both instances, her performance was exceptional. What impressed me most was her direct and confident approach. She wasted no time in clarifying the legal...ese of my situation, which I found incredibly helpful. This clarity stems from her deep knowledge, making her exceptionally competent in every action taken. She was also kind and a pleasure to work with. She was genuinely helpful in guiding me through complex processes, ensuring I understood every step. If you want an attorney who combines high confidence and competence with a clear, direct, and empathetic style, Jenny is simply outstanding.
