C Michael Barnette

I have been working with Michael to handle my divorce and child custody case. He has been phenomenal to work with. Having to deal with legal issues can take a toll on you, but knowing I have Michael Barnette backing me has helped to set my mind at ease, as best as possible. He has kept me very informed throughout the process and has guided me with his expertise. He has worked so hard to make sure I end up where I want to be and TRUELY cares about his clients. Michael Barnette is the absolute best attorney in this town, I am so happy I chose to go with him.

Michael is an excellent attorney. I was falsely accused of domestic violence and child abuse when my ex-wife left the state of Florida with my children. It was thru Michael's expertise of not only trial law but appellate law as well that I was successfully able to gain custody of my children.

Michael stepped in to my divorce case after my first lawyer retired on me with little notice. He handled my case expeditiously through everything and got me to the end of a long process of divorce. I highly recommend Michael to anyone going through divorce.

Originally I went in to speak with his partner but was referred to Michael due to the location of the court issues. Expensive? Yes. But what lawyer isn't? Everyone in the area as well as Orlando was around the same cost, so then it became a hunt for quality. Quality is what I freaking found! Through my divorce Michael brought reality to light. The law sucks and it's not a justice system. It's a legal game. I was fortunate enough to hire an insightful professional who did actually care. He had a very calm, very non-reactive demeanor which was perfect because it expressed patience and an unwavering disposition towards my opposing lawyer who was actively trying to completely screw me over. Michael Barnette was nothing but kind, patience, truthful (even if blunt. Which is necessary because the law doesn't care. So you're gonna hear fact and nothing else from him, especially with him being on your side) and at heart a good person. Don't forget, this IS a business but at least it's a business where good people are involved. I owe them a debt for their work and diligence that money cannot pay. And I will hold a thankfulness for what they've done for me forever. I would absolutely be happy to have them work with me in the future and vice versa, I just hope and pray I don't need to. Thank you guys, so much!

I hired Mr. Barnette to handle a family law matter. He listened, understood the situation, and did not waste any time getting started on my case. Throughout the entire process I was kept informed of the latest developments and status of the case. Mr. Barnette handled my case in a sympathetic and caring manner. His paralegal, Annemarie, is personable, friendly, knowledgeable, and always took time to explain the latest developments in the case in a way that made it easy for me to understand. My expectations were exceeded with not only the handling of my case, but also with the swift and just resolution at the conclusion. I would recommend Mr. Barnette for anyone in need of legal representation. Attorneys like him are few and far between. I feel blessed and grateful to have had Mr. Barnette as my attorney and Annemarie as my paralegal. They are both wonderful!
