Lawyer Barbara Hunting’s expertise, knowledge, and terrific communication skills provided us with thorough information regarding chapter 7 Bankruptcy. Since this is the first experience for us, we were initially confused and nervous. After talking to Barbara, we are calmer and have a clearer understanding of the bankruptcy process and our options. We are grateful and would highly recommend her.
Ms. Hunting has been my go-to call for help whenever I have needed it for the last twenty years. She is most knowledgeable in her field and has had a great deal of experience from which to draw. She is a great listener and grasps each situation early on in our discussions. She has been very honest about outcomes and expectations and I feel very secure in her capable hands. Ms. Hunting is extremely fair, I feel and takes care of all the little details to the optimum conclusion. Whether its in her field or not, I will always reach out to her first to get her feel and to see if she has any suggestions for moving forward. I trust her emphatically and she does not talk down to me. I would recommend her to any friend or family that was in need of a lawyer.

Five Star Review
Barbara handled my bankruptcy very efficiently. Barbara explained the bankruptcy process to me and was always available if I had any questions. The entire process was handled professionally and within three months of filing the petition, I received my discharge.

Exceptional Legal Guidance and Services
All of us at one time or another are in need of legal counsel and I am no exception! Over 15 years ago Barbara guided me through the difficult process of filing for divorce. Barbara's knowledge and compassion made the whole process much easier for myself and my two small children. She is very familiar with the laws governing child support and made sure that my children would be supported during that stressful time. As the kids got older and expenses rose Barbara once again guided me through the process of child support modification, her vast knowledge of Florida family law is impressive. At one point in time there was a significant delay in the processing of my support checks through the state of Florida, Barbara promptly contacted the proper agencies so that my children would be taken care of. Without her knowledge and expertise I would be at a loss as to how fix the problem! Lastly, when my mom passed away just a couple of years ago, Barbara helped my sisters and I navigate through the emotionally difficult process of settling her estate. Once again Barbara guided us through the steps of managing my mother's trust. When it comes to choosing a lawyer, Barbara is an exceptional choice. Her professionalism, knowledge and compassion are second to none!

Highly professional, compassionate, effective
My family has utilized Barbara’s expertise in several areas over the years including family law and estate matters. Barbara is highly professional, compassionate, and effective. When my elderly mother needed help with establishing a power of attorney, we contacted Barbara. We trusted her to meet with our mom in her home and handle the process for her. She was so kind to our mother and made the process so simple for her.
After my mother passed away, Barbara helped ease the pain and navigation of dealing with the estate trust for my sisters and me. She is extremely knowledgeable and guided us through the process painlessly, even when we had no idea where to begin. Our family has also relied on Barbara for matters of child support and a protection order, both unpleasant situations, that require expertise and compassion, yet an aggressive approach. She simplified the process for us and achieved a successful outcome every time.
I have referred friends and business associates to Barbara and have received positive feedback and gratitude for the referral. I highly recommend Barbara. She is experienced, trustworthy and effective. Our family trusts her and will continue to rely on her when needed.
