We wish we had started with him!

My mother hired Barry S. Franklin's office several years ago to try and reopen a previously settled case. The previous modified settlement agreement had left him in a very difficult starting position. He was honest with her when she first met him, and let her know that the odds were not in her favor.... After many years of fighting this case, he was able to do what many friends suggested was impossible. She recently settled the case, and is in the process of recovering what she was owed. It was not inexpensive, but quality work rarely is. I know that my family are very grateful for the work that he did, and I would not hesitate recommending him to anyone who might need him in the future. If you or a friend are in need of a family law attorney in the South Florida area, call Barry S. Franklin's office to see if they're a good fit for you. The integrity, determination, and skill he displayed made us wish we had hired him in the first place. Our thanks to the whole office for their work.

The Brightest and the Best

I have been a court reporter for 45 years both in the federal system for the Eastern District of New York (Brooklyn, New York) and at the state, civil and criminal levels in Miami-Dade, Broward and Palm Beach Counties, in Florida. I have, as a court reporter, served on major cases such as Abscam, ...Agent Orange, a plethora of mafia-connected cases, and as one of the reporters on USA v Manuel Antonio Noriega in the federal court for the Southern District of Florida (Miami) and have worked on many, many family court cases. I introduce myself to you, the reader, in this manner so that you will know I have some background and credentials to assess the prowess of those in the legal community, having worked with the brightest and the best. This leads me to my opinion of Barry S. Franklin, Esquire, whom I count among that community of attorneys - the brightest and the best. Barry S. Franklin is an attorney in Aventura, Florida specializing in family matters. Over the period of time that I have been fortunate to work with Mr. Franklin, in a court reportorial position, he has never failed to impress with his skill, expertise and knowledge. It is a unique and enlightening experience to hear his words when representing a client. In each instance, whether a hearing, a trial or a deposition, you can be assured of Mr. Franklin's presentation being erudite, cogent and well-informed, and that he will champion the best interests of his clients with vigor and tenacity. He is, as they say, a lawyer's lawyer. His success rate vis-a-vis client repesentation is excellent. For those seeking legal counsel concerning marital or family matters, you cannot have your interests better served than by Barry S. Franklin, Esquire. Ilene Goodman, Court Reporter

Remarkable attorney!

All I can say is "Thank God for Barry Franklin and his associates!" I retained Barry Franklin as counsel after my initial divorce attorney and a second post litigation attorney gave me the feeling that neither of them cared enough or believed that I had a strong enough case to fight against my fo...rmer husband. Barry came as a recommendation from a friend of the family and subsequently when my parents divorced, he was the counsel for my father. From the moment I walked into his offices and had out initial consultation, I knew Barry should have been representing me from the get go. In hindsight, I may not even being going through all this post litigation whoop la if I had just bit the bullet upfront, but hindsight is 20/20. Barry is a remarkable attorney, extremely knowledgeable and skilled in his profession. His office staff are so friendly and always on top of my case! I don't know how I would have kept my sanity intact without them all! While we are still in the trenches, I am certain that with Barry and his team at my side, I am in the best possible place (case wise) that I could be in. If you are looking firm, friendly yet aggressive attorney, Barry is your man! I can't say enough good things about this group. I am forever grateful for their hard work and compassion through this very nasty ordeal.

Compassionate and Professional Laywer

I ( Lorie Masters) had the pleasure of working with Mr. Barry S. Franklin and his staff for 17 plus months. Mr Franklin with his 28 plus years in family law, know his stuff. During this time, I found Mr. Franklin and his staff to be professional, direct and demanding to meet all deadlines and orders..., without delays. Although, we were confronted by many challenges, and disgusting frivolous delays from the opposing counsel, Mr. Franklin continued to work hard to reach a fair settlement in the best interest of the minor child. Despite all this, Mr. Franklin remained compassionate, caring and true to his word. For this, I am truly grateful. Mr. Barry S. Franklin is a man with integrity and truly a man with a Big Heart. For these reasons, I highly recommend, Mr. Barry S. Franklin and Associates to represent you in family law. Sincerely, Lorie Masters

KNOWLEDGEABLE, RESULTS ORIENTED, TRUSTWORTHY, COMMUNICATIVE, HIGHLY RECOMMEND

Mr. Franklin has handled two cases for me with excellent results. He was always available to discuss any issue. Simply the best experience i have had with an attorney. He is extremely courteous as well as his entire staff. He took his time to learn all the details of my case and then worked diligentl...y towards a quick and fair settlement. He is also an excellent litigator, definitely not a pushover and is extremely knowledgeable. This is a guy you definitely want on your team!
