Mitchell v Wilson CO

Jay was absolutely fantastic in every aspect of our case! Always honest and made sure we were informed and very well represented. Professional, could not have asked for more!

Great Lawyer!

I hired Jay during a very uneasy time where I definitely needed someone who knew what they were doing. Through his knowledge and professionalism, he steered me in the right direction and always had my best interest. He walked me through every step and always kept a calm and composed manner. I would d...efinitely recommend him.

Honest, Relaibale, Dependable, Hard Working and Cares

I hired J Barger the day after I spoke with him on the phone. I was in need of a divorce lawyer, and I got the creme of the crop. Not only could you hear the passion he has for his job in his voice, but the knowledge he has concerning his position was so very reassuring. I was in a bitter divorce an...d all alone, until I found him. He was only ever an email or phone call away. He never backed down, and never stopped fighting for ME. He was always honest with me, even if it was something I didn't want to hear. He wasn't intimidated by anyone or anything. He knows the law, and how law works, and how best to make it work for his clients. He is a family man, and has a career in helping families in need of a lawyer. I honestly have no idea how I would be today if I hadn't picked up the phone and called him that day, but because I did, I am no longer scared, or worried, or to be bullied ever again. Not only did he help me, a now single mother with two kids, with my case, he helped me with my confidence, and knowing he had my back, gave me the strength to find my backbone. I feel I hit the lottery with Mr. Barger, and I would personally recommend him to anyone in need of a lawyer. He works more than just divorce, and if I ever need a lawyer again, I have him on speed dial. If you are in need of a hard working, honest,dedicated lawyer, then he is who will fight for you. Always

Successful Post Divorce Representation

I retained Mr. Barger to represent me in a post divorce issue. He was courteous, professional and patient as he instructed me on the law and my options. He successfully resolved my issue in a dignified manner.

Best Attorney in Town!

Mr. Barger handled my divorce and wrote my will. He also has handled custody issues that have come up over the years. He is very knowledgeable and professional yet quick and helpful. You would be doing yourself an injustice if you did not use Jay Barger as your attorney.
