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.

Strongly Recommend

I found myself in need of 2 attorneys for felony offenses. Ginny was recommended to me from an attorney in another state. After our initial consultation, I knew that I had found the best. She proved this many times throughout the months that she worked for me. Ginny followed through on her promise ...to keep me informed promptly and the lines of communication with her were flawless. I saw Ginny at her Best on the day of our final hearing. I still had some concerns regarding a provision in the plea agreement. Ginny had listened to me regarding this and prepared well. On our day in court, Ginny was already there arranging a meeting with The Judge, D.A., and our 2nd attorney who had Not listened and had resigned to the plea agreement. I will never forget the smile on her face as she was finally able to round them all up and led them back to the Judges chambers for her battle. Ginny came out with the outcome I had hoped for even against a very stubborn District Attorney. I can't emphasize enough how highly I think of her and her abilities! Ginny's knowledge, advice and work ethic are immeasurable and she always treated me with respect. If you need an attorney that will Focus on your needs, Call Ginny!

My angel!

Ginny came into my life at a time where everything was falling apart. I had just gotten out of an abusive marriage and was essentially homeless with children. She listened to me free from judgement and stood up for me when I didn't stand up for myself. She was accessible night, day, and weekend and ...made me feel as if she held a deeply personal interest in my case. The clear and decisive advice she gave me made it easier to climb over what seemed like a mountain to me.

Competent and Experienced

Ginnie was my Public Defender for my 2nd DWI. She was very kind and caring. She also negotiated a plea bargain which helped me repay my debt to society by working community service instead of doing jail time. She was very knowledgeable regarding the statutes which also allowed for me to get the as...sistance I needed, as I did not have the financial means to do so. Ginnie went above and beyond for me and also faxed a document to the DVS so I could get my driver's license back and pay only partial payment of the reinstatement fee up front and then the remaining amount over the next 3 years. The plea bargain for this 2nd DWI was better than the one I received on my 1st DWI. She also advised me regarding what I would have faced and would face if I ever received another DWI, which prompted me to go into alcohol treatment, I am currently 8 months sober and counting! Thank you Ginnie for everything!

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.
