Needs to retire

NOT RECOMMENDED. DOES NOT NEED TO BE IN PRACTICE ANYMORE. Never on time for court, shows up an hour + late every time. Is never prepared. Charges thousands of dollars and does nothing. Never answers calls or texts until the morning of court. Has excuse after excuse for his lack of action on the ca...se. I’ve done everything for myself and even prepared all my own paperwork and documents because Mr. Barker acts like he’s some big shot lawyer who has such a high dismissal rate and is worth $5000+ for a misdemeanor case then charges the same for a felony case? Makes no sense. Embarrassing. He obviously doesn’t realize his brain has gone to the state of early dementia or drug/alcohol abuse. Who knows. I’ve never been so disappointed in a paid lawyer. I’d have been better off with a court appointed attorney at this point, at least I expect them to not do their jobs. DONT HIRE HIM!

Mr. Barker is True warrior

I can't thank enough what mr. Barker did for me and my daughter in an unending case against DHHS and court. It took us over 2.5 years to go back and forth with DHHS and local court but Mr. barker fought tooth and nail for me and my family. When i was frustrated, angry, despaired and ready to give up.... Mr. Barker famous statement " take a bite of the apple at a time" (meaning a little step at a time to get to our goal) got me going. He never quit on us and kept fighting. He even drove 10 hours to represent me deep in to the heart of UP. The DHHS lawyer admitted It was the very first time someone drove that far to represent his client in that court. It provided a strong basis to our case in the eyes of judge. After 2.5 years of battle the court and DHHS finally gave up and i was reunited with my daughter. I was innocent while no one believed me, Mr. Barker did, not only he believed but he went to extremities to support and win my case. I would recommend any one who is looking for a true lawyer who is not just a good at what he does but noble by heart, honest and compassionate. HE WILL GET YOU VICTORY.

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
