No Response

I spoke with Mr. Barker on the phone & then met with him for a consultation. I thought he was great. He asked me to send him additional information via email, which I did. I emailed him to inform me if anything else was needed. No response. I called twice & had to leave a message as he didn't pic...k up. Still no response. That was about 2 weeks ago. If he didn't want to take my case, all he had to do was simple tell me. To leave someone hanging when they're in need of advice and assistance is disheartening. Very disappointing but thankfully I didn't invest any more time or money with him.

In response to the negative review. Please be advised that this occurred at a time when several new clients with emergency situations were consuming all my time. There was also family illness going on and our secretary was on vacation and unable to help respond. This was an unfortunate set of circumstances. It is not something that usually occurs in the office. While the matter consulted was important to the client, it was less serious than the other clients' emergencies. I regret any inconvenience to this lady and offer her my apologies.

Best in the business!

I have had many legal issues in my life. I have had well over a dozen lawyers work for me so this review is done by a very seasoned plaintiff. I can tell you with the utmost certainty that as long as Mr. Stephen Barker is practicing law I would not think of going to anyone else to retain as my leg...al counsel. He worked wonders for me, and in the long run saved me and my family many thousands of dollars and most certainly jail time. He literally got me jaw dropping results! When you absolutely have to win call Mr. Stephen Barker

Compassionate, responsive, effective and accessible

Mr Barker has been a great asset to have on our side when our family has needed legal help. He responds in a timely manner, with compassion and most importantly, handles your case effectively.

Great Attorney

Mr. Barker is a great attorney he is very caring and will get the job done. My husband had multiple past charges and needed a attorney fast. Mr Barker handled everything we needed and saved my husband from doing jail time..
