This review is from a person who hired this attorney.

Mr. Barberi fought hard to reduce my charges

After being charged with multiple counts of a serious crime I contacted Mr. Barberi. He immediately took my case and promised aggressive representation. He reduced my charges drastically and reduced what would have been huge court fines down to a manageable amount. He treated me with the utmost profe...ssionalism and was always quick to return phone calls. I would recommend Mr. Barberi to anyone needing legal representation.

I would reccomend David Barberi

David assisted me with a legal contract. He always returned my calls promptly and was available when I needed to meet with him. I will use him again in the future for any legal matters.

Mr. Barberi's Review - 2014

Mr. Barberi was recommended as an attorney by a very close friend of mine and I do not regret my decision of hiring Mr. Barberi. He does everything in his power for all of his clients and makes each of them feel of the utmost importance and I knew I was in good hands. I met with Mr. Barberi on a few ...occasions; he is very timely (my case was settled in less than a month), and he did a lot of background research to make it possible for me to be able to achieve a long-time dream and I am forever in his debt. I never felt like just another client and had complete trust and faith in him to do his job. Under the circumstances he was a pleasure to meet and know and I would highly recommend him to everyone I know.

David Barberi

I've known David for a long time and he was my first call when I needed assistance. He's motivated to do the best job for his clients. Thoughtful and thorough, which is very important. The Barberi firm lives up to their reputation. Thanks Dave!

Invaluable outcome!

After a night of having a few with friends I made an incredibly shortsighted choice that could have had significant ramifications not only personally, but professionally... David was able to convince the other team that mistakes due still happen (even in this day and age). Needless to say we were abl...e to settle out of court and David saved me an invaluable amount of embarrassment and potentially lost business. I would most definitely retain his services again! Thank you David!
