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 hired this attorney and trusted his judgement and opinions. I believed he really cared. He said he discounts the bills, but never did. What came to fruition was that I was over billed and double billed and when I asked about it, I was ignored or told it's the way it works. It appeared letters a...nd motions were filed just to run up the bill but no follow up to get the motions adopted or the matters resolved. Just him blaming the legal system or the other attorney and even the judge. Once I paid my bills,within a week I owed another $5,000 and then another $5,000..always. And for no reason as he accomplished nohting...in the end, this attorney showed that for him it's ALL about the money with no regard to how your case ends up. Find someone else, there are attorney's out there who will do a better job for A LOT LESS!! and accomplish something.

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.

I was a client of this attorney and I did not like how my family law case was handled. When I questioned him (as I have a right to do so), he was very disrespectful. No one disrespected him. It was only the fact that I questioned him and he felt I shouldn’t. A family law case is too important t...o trust to anyone. I would advise any to hire attorney that has been referred by a trusted friend or family member.

Please be careful this this attorney, he will take all your money and when no more money can be gotten he will forget your number. He will song and dance you that he knows the judges and when he lost my case convinced me to appeal and guess what I lost that too. Thanks Barry , I'm sure you will have ...others to try to bilk. Do your homework before you hire an attorney, I should have!
