Amazing attorney

I’m a RN, who has no knowledge about the law. I hired Mr Barrar to represent me in a child support/custody case. Mr Barrar made me feel comfortable, ALWAYS answered all my calls and questions and helped me throughout the process. He made something that was extremely difficult for me, as smooth as pos...sible. Mr Barrar is professional, knowledgeable and he works with his heart. It was admirable to see him in court! I was so proud of my attorney, because he will fight for you until the end. Thank you Mr Barrar for everything you did, I will always be grateful.

A Brilliant Criminal Trial Attorney

My family hired Robert Barrar for my divorce because my wife accused me of domestic violence. I chose to have a trial by jury and was found not guilty by unanimous decision. Several of Robert's cases have been featured on Court-TV and Forensic Files. A master at court room dominance. After my trial.... My father approached Mr. Barrar and said; I enjoyed watching you work.

AMAZING

this man is such an AMAZING lawyer. He helped my father when no one else could. He always answered the phone/texts whenever we would reach out and was constantly available for my family to ask questions as well. We will be using him for any future legal needs. We HIGHLY recommend him.

Lost my case before it even began, by using him

He charged me up front and guaranteed a victory. He said the case was simple and he had never lost a case of my kind. After I had paid him, he became verbally abusive and demanding. Then, nothing was ever filed and I was stuck with the bill. He did not return a single call. I will never recommend him....

Trustworthy Lawyer

A few years after my divorce, I hired Mr. Barrar to represent me in a custody issue. My only regret was not having met him sooner to represent me in my divorce. He couldn't have negotiated a better outcome for my child and I. Mr. Barrar is extremely knowledgeable, experienced, moral, ethical and h...onest. A few years have passed since my custody issue was resolved, however, I still consult with him from time to time when needed and solely trust his advice/recommendations. He is reliable and always responds immediately. I am eternally grateful to the person who referred me to him.

Relationship: Worked for lawyer

"I interned for Robert Barrar in the summer of 2006. I shadowed Mr. Barrar while he represented clients in court and did work for him while in the office. Mr. Barrar is hands down the best criminal defense attorney I have ever seen. It is because of my internship with him that I decided it wanted to pursue a career in criminal defense and litigation. Mr. Barrar is a master of his craft. You will be hard pressed to find an attorney of his caliber anywhere in the country. I have seen many attorneys practice but I have yet to come across an attorney that is better than he."
