Total recommendation

Mr.Franklin represented me in a very messy divorce. He was not only extremely caring but extremely knowledgeable. Lots of integrity as well. Thank you so much!! I recommend him 100%. You will not find a better family lawyer!

An Attorney With Integrity, Kindness and Professionalism

I visited Mr. Franklin a month ago regarding a landlord/tenant situation I was having. Mr. Franklin assisted a family member of mine some time ago and came highly recommended. I immediately felt at ease as he was knowledgeable and honest with how I should proceed. Mr. Franklin addressed my sit...uation immediately and he and his office staff were in contact with me throughout the week with updates. I appreciate the honest professional advice that did not lead me down a legal road that was not necessary. I would recommend Mr. Franklin to anyone who is looking for a fair knowledgeable attorney who truly cares about his clients.

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

Posted by David | December 12, 2011 | Alimony

The Best! You get what you pay for.

I hired Barry 1 1/2 years ago to get a modification of my alimony, or alternatively, to get the entire divorce settlement thrown out. Not only is he a brilliant attorney, but he is a most compassionate, caring person. Sure, you can pay less for a divorce attorney, but in the end you get what you pa...y for ... and that's what happened with my original attorney who really didn't care about me and saddled me with a horrendous settlement. Now, 18 months later, I paid a very modest lump-sum settlement and am done with alimony forever. I cannot recommend Barry any more highly ... also, his staff is the most professional and is always available to help or talk with you. Do yourself a favor ... if you need an expert attorney specializing in family law, hire the best. It will cost you less in the long run. Thank you, Barry ... for everything.
