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....

Excellent Criminal Defense Attorney

Mr. Barrar is a superb attorney! I retained him to represent my cousin (who is a minor) and he handled her case from start to finish in an utmost professional manner. The laws can be quite complicated and intimidating for the average person, but Mr. Barrar kept us informed every step of the way and h...e explained all aspects of the criminal proceedings in understandable terms (which is important for a minor). Mr. Barrar also went above and beyond the call of duty with his caring and compassionate ways. With his comprehensive knowledge, professionalism and ability to attain remarkable results, this attorney comes with my highest accolades. I would definitely recommend Mr. Barrar to anyone looking for a criminal defense attorney.

Highly Recommend - Excellent Attorney

Mr. Barrar is an excellent attorney who went above and beyond for every aspect of my case in terms of research, communication, resolution, and personal care. He is very direct and honest in terms of strategy and outcome, and he is very giving with his time. In fact, I will for many years in the fut...ure and have since trusted his professional service with other matters. The difficulty in the case does not matter to him, what matters most to him is the welfare of the people involved and with that in mind, having a successful outcome. I give Mr. Barrar my highest recommendation & wish him many years of success.

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."
