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.

Simply "Amazing Attorney"

Barry is the best attorney around. He and his office reflect his character, they are kind, caring and always professional. I have to thank Barry for for all that he has done for me and my son. He worked tirelessly on my case and was always so pleasant and fun to work with even in my messy battle. Hi...s office is run "family style", his wife, daughter, plus the staff all work together on your case, Barry oversees the group and they are a great caring team! Barry is an excellent writer, my last attorney filed cryptic motions that went no where. Barry has such great style, his motions are clear,compelling and backed up by relevant case law.

Experience, knowledge and integrity... THE BEST!

Mr. Franklin has represented me for the past two years. I can honestly say that he is extremely knowledgable, highly respected and incredibly talented in the court room. He demonstrates the highest level of integrity and honesty. Based upon my experience with other attorneys in Miami, Mr. Franklin ...is by far the BEST. If you are in need of an experienced attorney, I highly recommend Mr. Franklin.

One of the good guys

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.

Law Firm Talks but Doesn't Deliver

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.
