Caricature of Counsel to Avoid

After my court appearance, Barry went up to the opposing council and judge and try to schmooze with them. Getting numbers, gossiping, trying to make friends with them. Everywhere you look he posts that he went to Phillips Exeter to show he is “elite“ in some way but he clearly didn’t learn much other... than convincing himself that his former privileged rich kid monstrous ego is justified. You are a senior citizen, Barry… Looks like that upbringing got you a whole lot of nothing considering what a joke you are in the legal profession. So simmer down. He is an absolute joke of an attorney. I noticed he doesn’t even have a Google review available to the public because he knows he will be completely trashed if he has that on Internet search results considering all the people he has walked all over. I was innocent of the crime I was accused of yet many times when talking to me he would say in a low voice “so tell me… Did you do it? How did you do it?“ He seeks dirt on people because it gives him some kind of sick personal thrill. This is not the person you want in your corner during your lowest moment. Hopefully his elderly self has retired, and if not, this review needs to be left up in honor of his “legacy“. He clearly did not believe in me despite overwhelming evidence and thousands upon thousands of dollars he took from me. By the way, Barry, you love letting people know you went to Phillips Exeter and undergrad at Notre Dame but I noticed you went to a bottom tier embarrassment of a law school (sub 100) and it shows. He thinks he’s so elite yet he’s poor enough that he has to con people to take their money. Typical scumbag in all the ways. My husband was in the room when I hired him and he mainly spoke to him and only shook his hand and acted like I was chopped liver. You’re better off hiring a paralegal to take your case before hiring this clown. He didn’t talk about his excessive marijuana use to me, but I read in other reviews that he’s a big fan and it makes sense that he has to numb his conscience to stay alive in that despicable meat suit.

best ever

Mr. Doyle has been a wonderful lawyer. He answers texts on his off time, responds to emails, and advocates for me at all times. He is organized, thoughful, and very capable. During a very stressfull time Mr. Doyle was compassionate and trustworthy. I was over joyed with my outcome in court and I ...continue to consult him.

Do not use this attorney

I lost my nursing license permanently because of this joke of an attorney. I had a hearing in front of the board and in front of the nursing officials he called me incompetent. I was appalled. I had to sit there while he pretty much destroyed my life and I had paid him thousands of dollars already ...and he refunded nothing for destroying everything for me. There are so many other qualified attorneys. Please don't make the mistake I did and destroy your career/life with this man. Another reviewer also talked about how she permanently lost her life as a nurse because of him. He seemed more interested in talking to me about how are used to get high and he seem to want to know who my connections were. I am a recovering addict and it was absolutely disgusting the way he clearly wanted to get his hands on chemicals. More than once he brought up how his daughter smokes large amounts of marijuana. This was totally inappropriate. I told him I no longer associated with that life and at that point he had already cashed my check so I just had to go with him even though I wanted to withdraw and hire somebody else. I asked him if I could do this and he said he had a "no refund" policy. So I went on ahead even though I should have ran the other way. He was also hired by me in a different matter and did absolutely nothing in that and charged me thousands of dollars. I hired him for that matter because he is good at talking sympathetically towards vulnerable people in trouble and getting them to trust him but he is an actor. A sleazebag attorney. If you make the mistake of going to see him, you will be conned by the way he tries to talk you up in your corner and act like he will be a champion attorney and restore your life. I was duped. He puts on quite a show. Don't give him the opportunity. I still at that point had not known he was going to destroy my nursing career so I hired him in a different matter is well. This man is nothing more than a thief who will say anything to get money from your bank account into his and then when he ruins everything for you he will not return your calls and he will act like it was your fault. When I started calling him and asking him what he was doing about that matter that I paid him thousands of dollars for he would not return my calls and told me to stop contacting him. I had so much solid evidence in that case and I tried presenting it to him, but he seemed to think I was not important enough for him to sit there in his office and go over all the material. He should have been fighting for me. That's what I hired him to do, yet I soon found out he would not even give me the time of day. He just has an eye on people's bank account and he will not follow through. I feel sick when I think of the thousands of dollars I had to borrow from family that I gave to this Barry Doyle and all he did in return was wreck me. USE A DIFFERENT ATTORNEY DON'T MAKE THE MISTAKE I MADE

NIGHTMARE

I hired Barry Doyle to help me with my nursing license. TERRIBLE EXPERIENCE!! I gave him a stack of papers from my recovery process and continuing education on our first meeting and almost a year later the Board of Nursing denied my application because it was incomplete. They never received the pap...ers. Also I was told to fill out an application for reinstatement almost a year later and I should have done that right away. Other nurses I know who did not have a lawyer got their consent agreements within a few weeks and and I could not understand what was taking me so long because I paid Mr. Doyle thousands of dollars to help me. The one thing he was very thorough in talking about at out last meeting is how happy is is that marijuana is legal in Colorado and how his daughter's friends smoke it. When I gave him my continuing education certificate from the night before on Drug Addiction and the Elderly he said he thought it was great that senior citizens were getting high. He then asked why wasn't I getting charged from this conversation and I started talking to him about my drug of choice. Then he wanted to know what orifice I used, did snort it, shoot it, smoke it, and how did it make me feel. This conversation had nothing to do with my legal situation. I actually felt a recall high leaving his office.
