Joseph Barberi represented me in a lawsuit for a car accident I was evolved in as a passenger. Joe and his staff were very helpful and friendly. I was always kept informed of what was going on and they were very accommodating to my needs.

I went to Joseph's office, and he was grilling some steaks and hotdogs in the kitchen. He gave me a tall glass of milk and invited me to dine with him. I, of course, accepted. After the meal, we got down to business. Joseph told me he could help me. We then watched the news. While watching, Jos...

Joe and Kara were wonderful during my whole 6 month custody case. I was very comfortable with the decision I had made going with them from day 1 and never questioned myself once! The communication they had with me throughout far exceeded my expectations. His law office motto is "every case we take, w...

I could finally hand over almost three years of struggling on my own. Mr. Barberi, Tony, and Lori gave me the comfort to just exhale. Thank you will never be enough for everything the entire staff did for me in my time of need. The professionalism, cups of coffee, hugs, kindness and solid legal adv...

I highly recommend Joe Barberi/Kara and staff! I cannot put into words how thankful I am to have Barberi Law in my corner. I was at a very critical juncture in my life, knowing nothing about the law or court system, I felt so confused and out of my element. I had no idea what to do, Joe and his staff...
"The slogan Mr. Barberi uses for his firm "every case we take, we take personally" is absolutely spot on. I don't believe I've seen a lawyer who takes cases more personally. But more than that, Mr. Barberi is knowledgeable in every area of law he practices (and then some), and remains up to date on caselaw, statutes, and trends in the law in order to best prepare and represent his clients."
"Joe is a dedicated and tenacious litigator who goes the extra mile for his clients. He is highly respected by his adversaries and the trial bench. His record of success speaks for itself.."
"Joe is an excellent attorney who commits his personal attention and skill to each case. In my experiences with Joe, he has been professional, reasonable and a strong advocate for his clients. He understands the importance of the big picture in domestic relations cases and remains focused on achieving an outcome for his clients that protects their interests."
"I have worked with Joe for over two years in the area of family law. He deeply cares for his clients and he is committed to helping them obtain the best results possible for them and their children. He is an excellent litigator in the courtroom and also an excellent negotiator outside of the courtroom. He works diligently for his clients and has a real passion for helping people who are in difficult situations."
"I would recommend Joeseph Barberi to anyone contemplating or going through a divorce. Mr. Barberi possesses significant experience, excellent negotiation skills, and is widely regarded for his courtroom expertiese. Mr. Barberis is also a published author on divorce and divorce law."
