Thank you!!!!!!

Thank you for helping my other half through this difficult trial, and for ensuring the best possible outcome on his behalf. I am so grateful to you for representing him in court, and for being a powerful advocate for us throughout these difficult times. Thank you so much for your passionate, thoughtf...ul, caring and brilliant work. Thanks to you he will continue to have a normal life and keep his job. I don’t know what we would’ve done without your help. God bless you!!!!!!

Great lawyer

Barry was there for me when my own family wouldn't, he was courteous, knowledgeable and got me out of a jam. Highly recommended to anyone who's serious of winning their case.

An attorney who is for the people

Our family used Barry Taracks as our lawyer and he was absolutely great! He worked really hard on our difficult case and represented us in the best way possible. His law firm is very responsive and friendly, including Barry who took the time to speak with me out of his busy schedule while I was in t...own. He managed to handle our case, and with his hard work, resulted in a outcome that I didn't think was possible. My family are extremely happy to have had Barry handle our case. I would definitely recommend him to anyone!

Avvo Rating

Our Rating is calculated using information the lawyer has included on their profile in addition to the information we collect from state bar associations and other organizations that license legal professionals. Attorneys who claim their profiles and provide Avvo with more information tend to have a higher rating than those who do not.

What determines Avvo Rating?
  • Experience & background Years licensed, work experience, education
  • Legal community recognition Peer endorsements, associations, awards
  • Legal thought leadership Publications, speaking engagements
  • Discipline Disciplinary information may not be comprehensive, or updated. We recommend that you always check a lawyer's disciplinary status with their respective state bar association before hiring them.
