Best Attorney Ever!

I don't know where to begin! James is by far, hands down the best attorney around. He is quick, reasonably priced and gets the job done fast! He listens and works hard for you. I had a complicated case on top of a divorce and he made it a breeze. Within a day of reaching out to him, we had an emergen...cy hearing and judgement a week later. He has continued to follow up with me to check on me. I mean, he's obviously very busy, but still makes you feel priority and cares. He is personable with a great personality. I honestly can't say enough good things about him. If there's a bad review on here I can promise it's not a client of his, rather a bitter person who is mad they had to go up against him! No one ever wants to be in a position to have to retain counsel, but in the case you do, I can personally vouch for James. You will not be disappointed!!! Thank you James for all your hard work!!!!

The BEST!! AWESOME!! You will NOT be dissapointed.

I’m not one to normally post reviews. However, after reading the recent review for James I felt it important to post my dealings with James for the better part of the past 9+ years. There has NEVER been a time I didn’t trust James or felt he was taking advantage of the situation. James had the patien...ce of a saint as he watched my ex-wife hire and fire over 9 attorneys. Unfortunately there are numerous attorneys who will thrive on your personal “misfortunes”. With James, he doesn’t look at dollar signs rather solutions to difficult situations that may arise throughout a divorce. He will protect you, provide you honest feedback, though it may not be what you want to hear, and most importantly not spend your money needlessly. What’s unique with James is the ability to pull the “emotion” out of the situation and provide honest legal guidance relative to any particular situation he’s given. Should you be seeking an attorney please do yourself a favor and contact James. Ask him for my name and number and I’ll be glad to go in greater detail. Just mention I need to speak with your client that had an “x” who hired and fired 9+ attorneys and dismissed the divorce the day before trial to only file again the following day. He’ll know.

The only attorney I go to.

I have nothing bad to possibly say about James Barilla. For over 6 years I have turned to James for legal advice and guidance. He handled my divorce, my custody battle and even a speeding ticket. He handled my new husband's divorce as well. Knowledable, understanding and caring are only a few traits ...James treated us with. I wouldn't recommend anyone else. Meredith Sealy
