Worst lawyer ever
I hired Barr for a custody case. She ignored my emails and phone calls. She was unorganized, unprepared and incompetent. I was sent an email at 3pm on a Friday with the judge's decision and when I called her office because I had questions, she was gone on a boat ride and guess what she still has not ...
