Deborah Douglas Barrington

Called to ask a couple of questions to see if she was taking any new clients. Deborah answered the call and was incredibly rude from the moment I started talking. In the short 5 minutes of speaking with her she talked down to me, "huffed" a sigh and acted like she was too important to talk to me. No... one deserves to be treated like that when calling a business especially a lawyer that you would be paying. I voiced how she was behaving and her response was, "I am direct, very direct." Some of these people need to come back to reality and remember they are but only human too.

Hired Debbie as an attorney, I heard she was known as the "barracuda". This woman turned out to be the most hateful and rude person I have ever met (not exaggerating). You will prepare you own case and evidence, and if you do will not use it. Otherwise she is going to make deals with the judge and... lawyer because thats what she knows how to do. She isn't good at litigating unfortunately, she truly doesn't know Ohio Code that well, and to be perfectly honest I think she is phoning it in for money at her age. I end up saying she isn't a barracuda but a catfish-bottom feeder with her hand out for 500$.

I've used Deborah as my attorney as well as my family. She's gotten me everything I've asked for, plus. She is direct and to the point. She doesn't like it when irresponsible people refuse to get her the documentation that she needs to do her job. I don't blame her. That would frustrate me as well. Y...ou want results? Work WITH your attorney. Not against her. She IS tough and she doesn't take crap from people..which is exactly why I love her. And will continue to use her as our attorney. She may hurt your feelings, but good luck finding an attorney as good as she is. Best of luck! (She was my attorney for divorce and custody)

Deborah is extremely rude not only to the defendant but to me, the client. I simply dismissed the case because how rude she was to me. I called her office I which Betsy her secretary usually answers but this time Deborah answered. I began to talk and she interrupted me staying "I'm in the middle of a... conference. The only reason I answered the phone was because it was ringing and ringing". Well, if she didn't want to talk to someone than maybe she shouldnt have answered the phone. She always talked down to me. She was never prepared and gave little to no advice. I hired her because I heard she was tough. As her client I didn't expect her to be that way with me.
