Michael Joseph Barbarette

DUI- no accident: barbarette and his team are hands down the best. They were with me every step of the way. There were times I felt anxious and didn't know how it was going to turn out. Barbarette was professional and empathetic the whole time. he was informative and he discussed every available outc...ome. He was realistic but most importantly he discussed every decision with me in detail. The case went to trial, and as nervous as I was, he is so confident it made feel at ease. If your case is going to trial, barbarette is the guy who you want at your side. He is very good at his job, and he got me the best possible outcome in this situation. Every move he makes leading up to the closing was in my best interest and very well calculated. Barbarette took that court room over, never losing confidence or momentum.. Verdict came back not guilty. I can not express this enough.. barbarette and quirk is the team for you. Jan the assistant is so helpful too!! She is great

Mr. Barbarette was recommended to me by a friend of a friend who is a lawyer in Gainesville. When asked who to contact regarding my DUI case, this local lawyer stated that Mr. Barbarette is the expert on DUI cases. From my experience with him, that appears to be true as Mr. Barbarette fought for my i...nnocence in a trial decision that was decided by the jury in less than 20 minutes. I can't thank him enough for saving my reputation. Please don't hesitate to hire him if this happens to you. The natural talent he has in speaking to a jury is too hard to describe in words, but trust me, you won't find anyone that does it as good as him.

I highly recommended this attorney ! No words nor a rating can do justice on how this man has helped me out . I am so blessed and fortunate to have come across Mr. Barbarettea . I had three choices of lawyers that I was told that could help me fight my DUI case. I spoke to all of them and I knew righ...t away who I was going to pick with words of encouragement and just so comfortable. He made my decision real easy. I wanna thank him because soon after I hired him as my attorney a couple months later he gave me a call and told me my case was dismissed ! Being a young adult at 22 I have my whole life ahead of me I am blessed to say I have a second chance to pursue my career ! If it wasn't for him I could not say this and I am truly great full. Thank you and god bless you !

I would highly recommend Mr. Barbarette to anyone seeking an attorney. He has made a name for himself in the legal and law enforcement community as someone who cares about his clients, and will defend them as if they were part of his own family. He is very detail-oriented and will pick apart a pol...ice officers report and the prosecutions case. He has won many cases by seeing the importance of seemingly insignificant things that other attorneys may overlook. Mr. Barbarette not only aggressively defends his clients, he is also very active in the community, and has conducted numerous DUI prevention classes with high school students. He uses his 26 years of experience to explain how quickly a DUI arrest or conviction can change a life, especially a teenager's. He is also a coveted guest speaker in University classes. By the way, I am a law enforcement officer in the North Central Florida area, and have made over 200 DUI arrests in my career. I will be the first to tell you that I am not particularly fond of defense attorneys in general, but they are needed. Mr. Barbarette has a reputation for tearing apart cases while officers are on the witness stand, and has made quite a few officers look like idiots to jurors. But because of his fervor, he has earned the respect of the Judges, Assistant State Attorneys and the law enforcement community, including me. The fact is, not every client will be acquitted, no matter how good your attorney is. In my opinion, your best outcome is with Mr. Barbarette representing you.

I have used mike 3 times in the past 12 years all for dui. When I went looking for a lawyer after the first arrest I learned about mike from other local attorneys. I am fortunate to know personally many local lawyers and they all recommended mike. They told me he has a reputation for regularly win...ning his cases at trial meaning prosecutors would be much more likely to offer a good deal to avoid facing mike in court. Despite difficult circumstances mike was able to get all three cases dropped down to reckless driving. In one case he actually won back my drivers license at a DMV hearing. I was kept up to date regularly and all my questions and calls along the way were promptly responded to. He even went the extra mile to get my probation terminated early in all 3 cases. I could not possibly expect better results and have no hesitation to recommend mike as a defense attorney. This guy will go the extra mile to get the best possible deal or win the case in court. I could tell working with mike that he takes his cases personally and seriously. He expects good results and gets them. I am very grateful for the work mike has done for me allowing me to clean up my life with minimal legal problems.
