I had an accident where I was rear ended after making a right turn March 2015. Roughly 2 car lengths is where I was hit after making my turn. My pictures vs the accident report drawing were totally different. I hired a lawyer, Michael Barber after requesting a jury trial from the judge. I paid him i...n full, on time. He said I had a strong case and that the DA sided with us when he made 2 appearances on my behalf in court. The unfortunate part in my case is that I had a lapse in insurance. So the damages to my car wouldn't be handled unless this driver was accused for hitting me, not me making an "abrupt turn" and receiving a ticket for "improper right turn". Makes no sense if it is a 35 MPH road and the guy who hit me does almost $20k in damages to my car (Chrysler 300 to his VW Passat). I was hit DIRECTLY in the rear of my car TWO car lengths into my turn. Pictures show clearly where the point of impact occurred on the road. He kept insisting that he could get it thrown out and that means the other party couldn't come after me. That's not what I wanted. I wanted a jury trial. My 6th amendment. He told me it would take time to get thrown out and had to wait until it was "accused" before he could move forward to get my trial date. Kept telling me all he could do was get it thrown out but takes 12 months. Then no, it takes 18 months. Then 24 months. I paid him to represent me in jury trial. I was NEVER granted such. Hence, the other party involved being able to sue me for damages to his car now. I then paid him to represent me in that case too. After paying him $1k of the total $2500 he requested for this new case, he appeared at court for me. This comes after he tells me that I can NOT be served thru the mail. Well that was a lie. I had to call him for about a week straight before hearing back from not him, but his assistant or someone that works with his firm to only tell me that they can serve me like that. IF I wanted his help I needed to pay him the remaining balance and he will SEE if he can reopen the judgement. A bunch of lies to get money out of me. Poor misrepresentation from this guy. I had high hopes for him. Really did. I did research on him prior to hiring. Everything looked good. My accident was March of 2015. It is almost Christmas of 2016 and I have still not been granted a jury trial for my "improper right turn" ticket and now have been judged for the other parties damages. Not saying he is bad in everybody's case, but clearly bad during mine. Even rushed me off the phone when i tried to call him to ask more about my judgement case once I told him I don't think it's good to fight that case but to fight the original. He refused to take any of my calls afterwards. My fault is having a lapse in insurance but still doesn't neglect my right to trial to defend my case. Worst situation.

Mr. Barber went above and beyond in my case. I hired him over the phone with only two weeks until my trial date. He worked tirelessly on my case to prepare and always keep me updated. If I would not have hired him, I would not have been able to get my charge reduced. He knew the ends and outs of the ...system, which no one else knew. If you need legal help, Mr. Barber should be YOUR FIRST and only choice. He, by far, is the best in the business.

I hired Michael over the phone. I am in NM, he is in GA. He was not only on point with the County court but with the DMV. I got my license back after 10 years. He did not know me, he just did his job. Not one time did I doubt his ability or perseverance. He knows his art and he shows his profes...sionalism and regard for the client with each brushstroke. He facilitated a life changing moment that I have waited on for a decade. He is a true artisan of his profession. Thank you, Michael. You are an honorable and diligent attorney. I am so grateful.

What can I say, Attorney Barber Jr. is simply the best. He is extremely knowledgeable and a game changer. He was upfront with us about my son's situation for both the a good the bad and the worst possible outcome. He kept us informed and taught my son lessons about picking and choosing his actio...ns, his friends and knowing exactly how to behave when the police stop you. He genius mind did more then win us a victory he did a miracle for my son that we still can't believe it till this day. We thank God every day for leading us to him. I say to any and everyone who will read this, if you ever find yourself in trouble with the law remember ATTORNEY MICHAEL D. BARBER JR. You can't find a better lawyer.
