I was facing my second OWI within 2 years. Even with great council I was looking at a harsh sentencing. Mr. Barnwell did his research and got me started on a plan to build my case. He believed in me and fought for the best outcome possible. I received zero jail time and now I’m on a path to becoming ...a better man. Thank you Mr. Barnwell!!

A couple Saturday afternoons ago my husband was pulled over in our subdivision because they had run his plate and saw that there was an outstanding warrant from the State of Florida from 1994 (YES, 27 years ago). They ended up detaining him at the police station pending possible extradition to Florid...a (which I didn't know about the extradition until Sunday morning). I honestly thought they were just bringing him to the station and would let him go. He has been pulled over before and this warrant has always come up BUT the police have always let him go. I was scared out of my mind and didn't know who to contact. I started my Google search for criminal defense attorneys in my area and Bill popped up. I went to his website and saw that he was also licensed in the State of Florida so decided to call him. This was first thing on Sunday morning. Bill answered the phone in 2 rings. I explained my situation to him and I was just so happy to have such a knowledgeable person on the other end of the line to help me understand what was going on. He explained to me that he is a pastor and was heading out to church, after which he had his son's birthday party but despite all that he continued to keep in touch with me via text and phone calls throughout the day. Even despite his busy schedule and the fact that it was a Sunday he even took the time to go see my husband at the police station later that day! Thankfully we didn't have to hire Bill because the situation was resolved after a couple days, BUT I would without a doubt hire him if ever, God forbid, we are in need of criminal defense counsel!! His constant contact with me made me feel like I wasn't alone in this very scary time!

Bill Barnwell, Is a very dedicated, compassionate, intelligent, and ethical lawyer. He fights hard for his clients and genuinely cares about them. He keeps you informed every step of the way and is highly responsive which you do not see much theses days. He is a true champion for fighting for sec...ond chances and not judging people off the mistakes that they made. His intelligence is uncanny and his knowledge of the legal system is remarkable. He keeps you informed every step of the way and is definitely the shoulder you want to lean on in the worst time of your life. When my sibling relapased and was facing very serious jail time Bill rallied for treatment not handcuffs. He understood that addiction is a medical disease and fought for the court to see it that way to. With his tenacious presitence the court agreed to give my sibling only probation. I know if they would of gone with any other Lawyer this would of never happened. He gave them a second chance at life and a road to recovery instead of prison bars. If you or your family member need a defense lawyer you won't find anyone that will fight harder for you then Bill Barnwell. You are not just another number to this Lawyer.

Throughout the years, especially my younger years, I've been in and out of trouble with the law unfortunately and I have only once recommended any attorney, that is up until today! In general, lawyers receive a bad reputation. Well, if you want one of the best, you have found him! He was very patient... with me, answered all of my questions and he gave me objective counsel that I knew I could trust. I have terrible anxiety and one of the best things to have entering when you're entering the courtroom for your hearing, is a sense of security and reassurance. He made understand exactly what we were dealing with and all the possible outcomes and made me feel reassured and at ease with whichever way it went, his confidence and knowledge definitely helped with trusting him. His hard work and diligence resulted in a favorable outcome in my case! I highly recommend him! He's a man you can trust and get the satisfaction of feeling confident when facing whatever case you're facing with him by your side!
