SHE WAS MORE MAD THEN ME!

I couldn't have been more blessed to have Summer Barnes represent me in my DUI case. I knew I was innocent and it was important to me that my attorney believe me before even viewing evidence. Summer believed me. Once she watched the footage she was ready for war. We rejected all plea deals and went t...o trial. We both believed in my innocence. I don't think there is anything more satisfying than watching the ..."cop" that arrested you crumble before your very eyes, at the hands of your absolute BEAST of an attorney. It was as good as watching your team win the Super Bowl. Honestly, it was hard not to cheer her on haha. Sure enough, after less than 45 minutes of deliberation, the jury found me NOT GUILTY. A moment that lives in my mind rent free. All thanks to the will and determination of Ms. Barnes. She's a hero of innocence. If she ever runs for public office, I'll be on the corner with a sign sweating and continuing to cheer her on. LONG LIVE SUMMER BARNES!

Summer Rocks

I think Summer goes above and beyond for her clients and she treats everyone with kindness and respect, which is so lacking in the criminal justice system. She not only makes the client feel cared for and heard, but their entire family as well!

Competent, caring and compassionate.

She is highly skilled and very knowledgeable. She takes highly charged and emotional cases and makes her clients feel secure. She is an excellent attorney for criminal cases.

No longer a rising star, now a Superstar

Summer Barnes is a terrific Defender! Dedicated, talented, creative and relentless, she protects her clients in every forum against every opponent or adversary, no matter how mighty and powerful they may appear to be.
