Barry Scott Franklin

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

Barry Franklin embodies all that a professional should demonstrate in advocating a client's interest. He reflected great understanding of the various areas that clients are impacted during the divorce process including, emotional, financial, parental, and self esteem. His demeanor is very low keyed a...nd expresses himself in a manner that a lay person can understand. His knowledge of the law is extensive and more importantly, Barry understands its application in the areas relevant to divorce cases, He is thorough and communicates well with other professionals making the experience less stressful than it normally is. I highly endorse Barry Franklin and believe that any individual, man or woman, would benefit from his representation of their interests.

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.

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.

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.
