A family law firm, ran by a family

I've know Barry over the years through a common interest, as he was my client. I did not know he was a lawyer, much less a family lawyer. Once I learned this, I approached him with my case ,ex wife emptied bank account and my dogs were also jeopardize. At his law firm, where other family members... of him also practice, I felt welcomed and every question I had (sound or not) was answered, whether by him or another staff member who were no less than amazing, along the duration of the case. The outcome that he foresaw, was exactly what happened. * That his business partner, Ms.Retenauer, had all the right tools for the case. *That my dogs would be kept safe and not even be brought up *My rightful portion of the monies taken would be recovered and some attorney fees would be too. Hire this law firm when you want to win the case.

Exceptional

Barry is an exceptional attorney. He is caring and yet, very methodical in his work. He is very good at keeping one informed throughout the process in a manner that allows a person without legal knowledge to understand the dynamics of how the court system works. His staff is wonderful! Always on top ...of things. I would hire Barry again and would definitely recommend him to anyone going through a difficult divorce.

Top Notch Service

January 26, 2018 I have been a court reporter 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, worked on major cases such as Abs...cam, 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. Recently, Mr. Franklin, represented me in a family matter and never failed to impress with his skill, expertise and knowledge. It was a unique and enlightening experience to hear his words in his representation of me. In his representation, you can be assured Mr. Franklin's presentation will be 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 G.

Composed. Experienced . And to the Point

So far I am just in the beginning stages of my case so I won't go into detail . I will say Barry and his entire TEAM (including his 100 lbs sweet dog) are worth having on MY side . I have hired attorneys in the past so I do have teams to compare them to . What I want in a legal team I believe I trul...y get . They are prompt, attentive to detail , to the point, and above all else they are HUMAN . I will admit I even had a panic attack in their office -just the nature of my case- and they transformed from Attorneys to Friends instantly . Overall on the legal end , Barry and his team have been ahead of the game , anticipating all the shots, and most of all they don't buckle to threats from the opposing council . I am so thankful to have been referred to this office , call him- YOU WONT REGRET IT !!
