Barry Scott Franklin

I came here because I'm a big believer in the power of reviews. I am disappointed to see them used for personal vendettas. Some people just shouldn't be allowed to get behind a keyboard...because they're only goal is to destroy hard-earned reputations. I can read right through them...and hope you c...an too. I talked to several attorneys before a co-worker recommended Barry. He had a difficult case also, and assured us Barry was the right choice. One of many things that impressed me during our initial consultation was that, unlike the others, he seemed genuinely interested in getting to know our family dynamic, and that of the opposing family. This was especially important to me because your attorney is your voice, you need to be able to trust them to speak for you. How can someone effectively represent you if they don't know your values, beliefs, etc? It was crucial that we find someone who is as passionate as we are about family, Barry's that guy. Our case went on for a year, during which, he was the utmost professional, but always with compassion. He is a man of integrity and demands it of others. He is an expert in his field. He is surely NOT a pushover, and won't be bullied...isnt that the guy you want on your side? It is evident that he is highly respected by the court. I trusted his advice , but there were times when I asked for his reasoning...he was patient in explaining the 'why'. He listens, even during the emotional times. We were always provided with a detailed financial report that was more than fair for his experience and expertise. They were honest about charges, and sensitive to our financial situation. Throughout the year, he consistently tried to resolve issues without frivolous motions and court appearances that drives up the cost...too bad the other side wasn't as ethical. ONLY with Barry's guidance and caring , were we able to stay the course and get what we needed ...what was RIGHT for the children. Many thanks and appreciation to Barry and his team...he is our attorney for life.

I have been a client of Mr. Franklin's for close to four years now and during that time I have come to know him as a good guy, an honest and straightforward man of great character...and an outstanding attorney to boot. He was always well prepared....and he always made sure I was prepared as well. The... Family Court process is a difficult one, and he helped me maneuver through that most odious of times as best as any attorney ever could. Over the course of that time, I am happy to say that I became friends with Barry and his wonderful wife, Nicola.
