A Great Lawyer

Mr. Barbour helped me with a difficult task. I was at my wits end with my problem. He was very kind, knowledgeable and easy to talk to. Mr. Barbour got me the best results possible.

Review on Case

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 c...omplex 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

5 Star for Auto Accident-rear ended

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.

Highly experienced, extremely good at what he does

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.
