    Review Mark Barbour

    5 Star for Auto Accident-rear ended

    5.0 stars

    Posted by

    I worked with Mark Barbour based on the recommendation of a family member, and couldn’t have been happier with the results. While I hope to never have a personal injury needing assistance again, I would use, and recommend, him in a heartbeat. He was easy to work with, would work around my schedule, so I could mail in papers and have phone updates rather then driving out to his office. He dealt with the insurance companies, the medial billing departments, and collections on my behalf, and took care of everything. He could be reached easily by phone and email (even returning email inquiries same day on the weekends). He met and exceeded my expectations. The settlement was more then expected. Very happy customer.

    I hired Mark to represent me related to an unfortunate event which led to a serious injury requiring surgery and multiple months of rehab. From the first meeting throughout a year long process, Mark was very pragmatic, informative and empathetic without being overly optimistic or promising things he couldn't guarantee. I appreciated his knowledge of Ohio personal injury law, his experience having dealt with many types of insurance companies, his thorough understanding of the process and the psyche/POV of other lawyers, insurance companies and juries. It's this deep level of experience and expertise that allows him to successfully navigate each unique case. He's able to anticipate possible issues and fully prepares his client for each step along the process. I appreciated that he always gave me options and explained the implications of the choices. I appreciated that he kept me informed as regularly as needed, reaching out on an interim and proactive basis to see how my recovery was going. I respected that he wanted to meet me in person at the start of the case, would come to my home when I couldn't travel and was responsive communicating via phone, email or text - whatever the situation called for. Mark is highly reliable, a man of his word, very detailed oriented, an excellent negotiator, and very human. I would highly recommend him for any future personal injury case - should you become an unfortunate event as I did.

    Mark was very professional and always kept me up to date on my case. He was efficient and he was up to date on laws and regulations regarding everything that came to court, the laws and regulations that came along with my case and all the doctors stuff even. He understood everything. I Had a highly complex case and he did a wonderful job. I am highly satisfied with Mark and would recommend him to anyone and use him again for my legal needs

    Outstanding legal representation

    Mark was incredibly helpful and a calming, steadying influence at a very stressful time. I was hit head on by a driver who failed to yield. My car was totaled and I experienced significant neck and back pain for some time. Mark came to our home the day that I returned from the hospital and calmly and patiently explained our various options. He stayed in close contact throughout the process and provided outstanding legal advice all the way through the final outcome.

    Mark help me in my case. He is honest and knowledgeable in this area. The insurance company was just ignore my request before Mark took this case. He was able to satisfy all parties' need. I recommend him if you need help in personal injury case.

    One of the very best....

    5.0 stars

    There are many aspects that make Mark Barbour a great choice as an attorney (and a person!), but I think the top 2 are his awesome personality, and his desire and willingness to make a bad situation better. Even outside of issues which involve personal injury/wrongful death case issues/matters, Mark makes people feel that their rights, questions, and concerns are all important. In that regard, he goes out of his way to do whatever it will take to help as much as he possibly can. Mark treats his clients with respect and importance (and always has), and in this day and age, I truly believe that is something that a client wants to feel. In my experiences with many "types" of attorneys, Mark is one of the very best. He doesn't have an arrogance (which I know some people stereotype attorneys as), and is one of the most approachable attorneys I have encountered.

    Mark was incredibly understanding throughout the legal process up to and including the court room. His experience and expertise became further apparent as the case progressed and he displayed an almost uncanny ability to anticipate challenges, prepare for, and manage through them. Mark was also patient and exceptional at explaining everything in simple, easy to understand, terms.

    Mark took on a difficult case for my family and got us a great result. More, though, he led us through the ups and downs of an emotionally tough case and we always felt comfortable with his representation, compassion and professionalism.
