Lindsey Ann Barkow

Lindsey at Barkow Law was retained for a legal matter for our family, the first legal matter we have ever been involved in so we were unaware of processes, hence the reason for retaining legal representation. We had asked a question about a process and we were told to “relax for now”, which I don’t b...elieve is any sort of legal advice nor did it touch on any questions we had asked but, nonetheless, we relaxed. After three weeks of complete silence, I reached out again to see if I could get any sort of update on what I asked previously. I was met with complete silence, again. After over 24 hours with zero update, I sent an email outlining my frustrations with zero communications from our hired (and paid) law firm. Instead of answering the concerns we had tried to get clarity on for well over a month, she sent an email saying she was terminating us because she didn’t like hearing my frustrations with their lack of work and communication. All she had to say to us was that lawyers are busy, insinuating the rest of the population doesn’t hold a job or have prior commitments that make them busy. Overall, Lindsey was a very condescending lawyer who was unwilling to take care of or address what we paid the firm to do. I wish we hadn’t wasted so much of our time hoping for a better outcome from her, but we tried to give them a chance since they are fairly green lawyers and it wasn’t a complex case. I hope she is able to grow as an attorney and work on better communication skills that have been laid out, in various reviews from others who have dealt with the same frustrations as us, to better serve those who hire her because she probably has great potential if she were to take the time to correctly address matters pertaining to her job.
