Lawyer from Hell

Barbara Latimer Jennings is the worst lawyer I’ve ever dealt with in my entire life. When asked questions her response would be “we’ll see what the judge says” and she kept talking in circles and didn’t k now what her client wanted. She was all bark and no bite. In the few times I’ve dealt with he...r, she’s been late to EVERY hearing. This woman is a poor excuse for a lawyer.

Mind at ease

I can not tell you how impressed I was with Ms. Barbara Latimer Jennings. She represented me in my Divorce case. Ms. Jennings was very helpful during the entire process. I had many questions and she answered all of them. I had many days of uncertainty,but she listened to me. There were many nigh...ts she worked late on my case to ensure a victory in court. She was keen to identify discrepencies in the child support worksheet which resulted in more funds for my child. She was also quick to point out to the Judge that My ex- husband admitted in Magistrate court that he put his hands on me. That resulted in dismissing his Contempt and Motion for Reconsideration case. Ms. Jennings is very personable, incredibly knowledgeable, accommodating and professional. I highly recommend Ms. Barbara Latimer Jennings to represent you in your time of need. You are in good hands. I am forever grateful for her service.

Great Lawyer

I was very pleased with Barbara Jennings professionalism and legal knowledge. She kept me in the loop about my case and we had a great outcome. I have referred her to several people that I know.

A Lawyer that cares.

I have had the opportunity to be represented by Ms. Jennings for both criminal and civil cases. I have always had positive results. On a DUI case, she made sure they didn't take away my license and the case was ultimately dropped despite a very aggressive prosecutor. She has also ensured favorable... outcomes with my child support and custody cases. All in all, she clearly cares about getting what is best for those that she represents. I consider myself fortunate to have her in my corner.

Could have fought harder

She talks a good game, but when push came down to shove, she didn't win. Despite the party bringing a criminal charge having no evidence and my having any reasonable expected evidence, she seemed to be expecting to lose and did! The county prosecuter spent incredible amounts of County resources and p...aid fast and loose with the law. For instance, I was served with an uncompleted search warrant, goods unrelated to my case were conficated and the police did not allow Ms. Jennings to be present during the search, holding her in her car a few hundred feet away while they ransacked my house. While Ms. Jennings mentioned the uncompleted warrant in Court, she appeared not to feel it was worth pursuing when the Judge did not throw out the evidence and the actions of the police were not even mentioned. To her credit once the acusing party had gotten my dog (they killed it after three weeks), she did keep them from acevding their real goal, swindling me out of my house, cars and what little money I still had after paying her and other attorneys for their "help". I should also point out that she did assure me that in Georgia that you are "guilty by accusation", despite the retoric said by the Judges.
