If you want the best, why try the rest'

I was blessed to work with attorney/judge Barber, his wife Patti and Darla. I gained a remarkable respect for both the professionalism and humanitarianism practiced in this firm. Leaving my job here, for an advanced position I felt led to take at that time, I still cried the whole way home and pray t...o this day that I was led along the right path. Mr. Barber is an attorney whose caliber surpasses all others. That's said from a legal support staff with 20+ years experience. During my time employed by him, I learned how it was our job to ensure that the law enforcement and DAs jobs were getting done. No stone was to be left unturned in defense of our clients...right or wrong. Every person is entitled to a defense...right or wrong. He gave it his all and we all slept well no matter what the case. If my son was in trouble (his dad is a lawyer), Mr. Barber would be my first call. God Bless you Mr. And Mrs Barber, and thank you for all you do Darla Smith!

Customer Review

Mr. Barber and his team were extremely helpful and friendly during my case. This was my first time dealing with the law, and they cared for my nervous needs. His secretary is absolutely splendid. They completed all the tasks required, which led to the prosecutor deciding not to pursue the charge. I w...ould recommend him to anyone in need of legal help.

Excellent Lawyer & Excellent Outcome

I was accused of a DUI (Under 21 also) and a few other traffic misdemeanors so I was in a bit of trouble. I searched around a few days for a lawyer and Mr. Barber was one of my choices after narrowing it down to just a handful. I consulted with a few other lawyers before choosing Mr. Barber to repres...ent me and I knew right away after speaking with Mr. Barber that he was the best choice for me. The other lawyers didn't seem real confident with my exact case but Mr. Barber had a confidence about him that the others were lacking. At first I wasn't 100% sure that this unspoken confidence would mean anything for my case but after getting the excellent outcome I got, I knew his stature and persona played a huge role in the outcome. Him and his staff were always easy to get a hold of and they were all very helpful throughout my case. I even called Mr. Barber a few times after business hours and he answered every time. I couldn't be happier with the outcome of my case. Without him on my side, I don't think I would have achieved such a good outcome. His fees weren't the cheapest but they weren't the most expensive either. You get what you pay for and I couldn't be happier. If I or anyone I know ever get into any kind of similar trouble, Mr. Barber will be the first call.

The Best in Statesboro!

If you are ever in a tough legal situation, Mr. Barber is definitely the lawyer you need. He helped me through the most challenging situation of my life. He takes the time to answer any questions that you may have and uses his expertise in the legal system when analyzing and working on your case. I a...m thankful I chose Mr. Barber and would not be in the same position today without him.

DUI and DWI lawyer | Jun 28

Relationship: Fellow lawyer in community

"Keith Barber is truly a Southern Gentleman. That quality shows well in his dealings in the courthouse in Statesboro, Georgia. People respect both him and his opinions. That includes judges, juries, prosecutors, and law enforcement. Perhaps it is his experience as a police officer years ago in Fulton County, but more likely because of his hard work, that he is so successful as a criminal defense lawyer. He has helped me with trial in Bulloch County, and is definitely my go-to guy when my clients don't want to pay my out of town fee to handle their cases in Statesboro. When they do pay my travel fee, I always retain Keith as my local attorney to help me with his treasure trove of knowledge. He's a priceless asset. A really good lawyer."

Relationship: Worked together on matter

"Keith Barber is the consummate legal professional and a true Southern gentleman. His knowledge of the courts, prosecutors and jurists in the Bulloch County area (and all the adjacent counties) is unmatched in that section of Georgia. Keith is the first person I call when I get a call from a person seeking legal help on a DUI or criminal matter. If I am going to handle one of my own client's cases in that part of Georgia, Keith will be sitting next to me at counsel table, giving me the local "scoop" on the case. Two thumbs up for Attorney Keith Barber."

"I have known Keith for nearly a decade. I don't practice in his neck of the woods. However, whenever I have a client in trouble near Georgia Southern University, he is my "go to guy." He has gotten terrific results for people charged with alcohol and drug offenses. As a former Municipal Court Judge, Keith is very well connected and knows how the legal system operates. He is an outstanding lawyer who shows great regard for his clients welfare."
