Passionate and empathetic

Being a third time DWI offender I was overwhelmed with emotions about the possible outcome. Contacting Ginny after I was release was one of the best decisions of made. She provided clairity with regards to the law and guidence to what I needed to do get my license back. I had no issues communicati...ng via phone, text or email. She did not promise me anything but I felt at ease knowing that she was handling my case.

Simply the best

I needed an attorney to help me with a complex DUI case. It was going to be a little tricky since I do not reside in Minnesota. I had contacted several attorney's that either did not return my call, or did not answer me back. When I contacted Virginia, she called me back within an hour and agreed to... consult me on the phone, free of charge, about my case. I didn't want an attorney to tell me what I wanted to hear. Virginia was up front and honest, but was pleasant to put your nerves at ease. I could tell in the short time I talked to her, Virginia was genuinely concerned and helpful for my case. After I retained Virginia, and she had more information, she was very responsive and communicated to me from beginning to end solutions and strategies on how we should proceed. I count my blessings that I didn't go with another attorney because Virginia negotiated the best outcome I could have recieved. She also worked hard for a quicker resolution since I was home for my father's funeral and this would help me financially to alleviate future travel expenses and missing work. I'm grateful for her. If anyone is reading this should know, take it from me, hire Virginia for any type of case you may be involved in. You will have an attorney and the peace of mind knowing you have someone who will negotiate and fight hard for you.

Highly recommend

Ginny is an extraordinary attorney. She went above and beyond to meet my needs , she was always prompt and knowledgable on anything and everything I brought to her. She consistently provided me with updated information regarding my case, gave me exceptional advice on what was most beneficial for my c...ase. She always responded to my concerns or questions in a timely manner, even on weekends. I truly felt that while my case was in her hands that I was being taken care of and well looked after. I highly recommend her to anyone seeking legal advice, she's the best!

Great lawery!!!

I am so lucky to have been appointed Jenny Barron through the courts to be my lawery. She fought so very hard for me and was always there to give me feedback on what was going on with my case. She helped me be able to live my life again. I thank God for having her as my lawery everyday.

Custody Issue

We hired Ginny to move forward with trying get custody of our son. Our case is still ongoing but Ginny has done an excellent job of keeping the case moving forward and standing up for our rights. She has always kept us well informed of what is going on as well as our options. We know that she has... our best interests in mind and for our son as well. Our goal is to do what is right for our son and to do whatever it takes to get to that point and Ginny has always done that as well. She was always available to meet or discuss our case and worked very hard to make sure we had the best case possible. We would recommend her and feel we are in good hands moving forward.

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.
