Excellent work on a very delicate and difficult case. I was very pleased with the quality and knowledge of Ms.Riesberg's work. A cut above the rest , I was extremely fortunate to have found her.

Great Attorney!
Barbara is one of those rare attorneys who can be aggressive and practical at the same time. She does not over-lawyer, but gets to the heart of the matter and gets the job done. I would highly recommend her.

This review is from a person who hired this attorney.
disorganized and unskilled in running business while lawyering
Riesberg dropped the ball, failed to inform that her business was failing and then withdrew after receiving over 100K dollars in payments, because she was in financial jeopardy. I would not hire this person for a serious legal matter.
