If you are a female, selling a divorce, do not use this

Failed to represent my friend in her best interest. After the settlement was agreed upon she still wanted to change it and not in my friends favor. My friend even though she has 2 young children must sell her home rendering her homeless. The ex ran up debt on his new girlfriend even after he rec...eived an injunction and Barb did nothing to stop it or move for temporary alimony or support. She allowed his attorney to set the terms. The father had a founded DHS claim but failed to mention this when discussing visitation to the judge. Let’s not talk about the cost of all this and it took over 18 + months to get absolutely nothing.

Divorce

Barbara Did an excellent job of fighting for a fair outcome to my Divorce. I was the one filing for divorce from my ex-wife. Barbara did all the work and my ex-wives lawyer just copied Barb's work and then created delay's that just ran the bill up. In the end my ex-wife spent 30% more for less credib...le work. Barb will give you a realistic opinion of how your case will end up.

Avvo Rating

Our Rating is calculated using information the lawyer has included on their profile in addition to the information we collect from state bar associations and other organizations that license legal professionals. Attorneys who claim their profiles and provide Avvo with more information tend to have a higher rating than those who do not.

What determines Avvo Rating?
  • Experience & background Years licensed, work experience, education
  • Legal community recognition Peer endorsements, associations, awards
  • Legal thought leadership Publications, speaking engagements
  • Discipline Disciplinary information may not be comprehensive, or updated. We recommend that you always check a lawyer's disciplinary status with their respective state bar association before hiring them.
