Avoid

DO NOT HIRE! Barry represented me on a case a couple months ago. Besides being unprofessional and nearly impossible to get a hold of, he ended up doing nothing for me besides “managing” my case. He sent me right away to a county office that no longer existed, then had me drive an hour and a half a...nd wait at a DMV when I learned afterwards other people’s lawyers handled it for them and emailed the dmv all necessary documents. When it was finally time for my court date, he texted me saying it had got rescheduled till “probably next week”. A few days later I got a text from him telling me the judge’s assistant must not have acknowledged the paperwork and thus a warrant had been issued for my arrest because they had me as a no show to the court date he told me got rescheduled. His advise was to “lay low and avoid the cops” while he would try to take care of it. When I tried to get a hold of him for an explanation I couldn’t reach him for days. On top of that he never actually confirmed when the next court date was, I had to look it up myself on the county website. I finally got a hold of him the day before the court date and he acted like everything was fine and said it was “bullshit dude” that he never told me the date...I guess saying probably then never actually confirming or giving me the time was good enough for him. In the end I was charged a lot of money by this “lawyer” to get the same result I would have gotten by myself and somehow an arrest warrant to boot. I could have done a better job then him managing my case and I urge you to find a more professional and capable lawyer than this guy for your case.
