Very attentive and a true counselor.

Ms. Feldman took the time to meet with me and discuss every aspect of my case. When she realized she couldn't help me with all of the legal problems I came to her for, she then utilized her time to find another lawyer for me. Although the other lawyer could have handled everything, I left the cases... she could do with her, and I am so glad I did. She is an excellent and ethical attorney. I will go to her first for any future issues.

Barbi Feldman Review

Ms. Feldman handled my case with the utmost professionalism. Not only did she protect our interest as if it were her own, but was also extremely compassionate to what we were going through. I would also say that her honesty and integrity is like nothing I've seen in the business world. I would r...ecommend Ms Feldman to anyone who wants someone who will fight for their interest and take it to heart.

Someone that needed representation

Barbi is amazing, very caring lawyer, she cares about getting to the truth of what really happened. She did my case pro-bono, but worked on it like she was making a million dollars. Thank you so much Barbi!

A lawyer to count on.

Ms. Feldman has helped me throughout the last several years on a variety of issues both personal and business related. She and her office have provided excellent serivce for all my needs. I love that they do not have a voice phone system and I can always talk to a live individual!

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.
