The Best!!

Ken Barlow is one of the best and most knowledgeable lawyers I have ever met. He worked in my DUI case for almost 3 years until finally I was able to go for trial with one of the most strict county Polk county. I was falsely accused of DUI and ken fought until the end. Even though I had 3 police that... took the stand against me Ken was able to prove my innocence after a long 4 day trial. Even though it seemed impossible for me to win for many Ken and I proved everyone wrong. My case was as dismissed completely. I will forever be greatful for him and he’s dedication to his clients. Thank you again Ken, your one of kind.

DUI spared

I would highly recommend Attorney Ken Barlow, he did a great job representing a family member in a DUI situation and was able to get a breathalyzer thrown out. Ken worked quickly in restoring driving privileges as well.

Great lawyer

I had a serious case (charged with felony DUI) lasting for more than 2 years. He did the best to bring my charge down to adjudication withheld, by talking to all prosecutor, victim's lawyer, and judge. I am very thankful to be back into my normal life.

The Man You Want!

Having been a client of Mr. Barlow, I must say that this man has such a thorough understanding and knowledge of the law. He answers any and all questions that may arise from your case. His attention to detail is superb. He is a genius in the courtroom. While watching him in the courtroom, I was surpr...ised at his professionalism and abundance of knowlege. I am so very glad I chose him to represent me in my case! I was not disappointed!!

"I highly recommend Ken Barlow for criminal defense representation. I have had the honor of practicing before Ken Barlow when he was judge in the 9th judicial circuit. He is incredibly well versed in the criminal law field and highly respected by his peers. Should you need representation, I would strongly suggest meeting with Ken Barlow."

DUI and DWI lawyer | Jun 16

Relationship: Opposing Counsel on matter

"I endorse this lawyer. Ken is one of the best defense attorneys out there. He was also one of the best judges I had the honor to practice in front of. His knowledge of the law and criminal procedure is unsurpassed. As a former prosecutor, I can honestly say that he was one of the two or three attorneys we all hated to see walk into the courtroom as the defense attorney. He was always well prepared and quick thinking. I highly recommend Ken for any criminal or DUI matter and am honored to have him joining our firm as a partner."
