Barbara is someone you want on your side!

I wasn't ready for the emotional journey, I was about to embark on. The opposition in my case chose an aggressive strategy, Barbara was compassionate and skilled at dealing with the divorce and custody process. She did an excellent job of informing me as events progressed. I always felt prepared for ...the next step. Barbara was tough when she needed to be and was always an intelligent voice of reason. I enjoyed working with Barbara and her staff, she is backed by an excellent team. Barbara is extremely skilled dealing with complex divorce and post divorce issues. At the end of the day you want Barbara on your side!

great attorney

Barb is an outstanding attorney. She helped me through my divorce and would call me out of the blue just to ask how everything was going. She emailed me back right away and also would call me when something new had come up. I highly recommend her

Excellent Divorce Attorney!

Barbara is outstanding! She is compassionate and caring, committed to working to a successful conclusion. Barbara was very thorough in explaining everything and is not out just to get billable hours. She has been very supporting of a very complex case where her knowledge of the law was critical to... get successful forward progress. Her preparation was key to her being able to defend our position and I know led to a much better resolution for me financially. Barbara has great tenacity and aggressively stood up for me. Through her and her excellent staff she has been able to help me through the most difficult time in my life with honor and peace.

Barbara Saunders Lutter

We hired Ms Lutter for my daughters divorce/custody case. She was always very informative and always was on top of everything. She would contact us frequently to let us know the progress of the case good or bad. She was alway honest and didn't "sugar coat" things. Before each hearing she would meet... with us personally and go over what would be helpful and what to expect. She even would take calls day or night if needed. I would recommend her to anyone without reservation.

I do not recommend this lawyer!

I would not recommend this lawyer. She was my Child Expeditor and did not represent both sides fairly. She did not reply to my emails or phone calls. She had her assistant contact me mostly to set up consultations. She did not take time to listen to me and kept interrupting me during our meetings and... phone conversations.

Replied last January 21, 2016

As a family law neutral (Parenting Time Expeditor or Parenting Consultant) I am often required to make difficult decisions which one parent may not agree with. In every case, I listen to both parents and consider all the information that each parent provides to me before I make a decision, and I treat both parents with respect.
