Kristin Barnette McCarthy - Best in the Business

After a hit-and-run car accident, Kristin was exactly the advocate I needed. She guided me through every step with clarity, confidence and professionalism, and her negotiation skills were impeccable. Beyond her legal expertise, Kristin genuinely cared about my well-being, which gave me peace of min...d during a very stressful time. If you want an attorney who will fight for you while treating you with respect and compassion, Kristin is the clear choice.

Exceeded Expectations and then Some

I referred a client to Kristin, and boy did she exceed expectations! (It was another Personal Injury attorney who moved out of Chicagoland.) Kristin was there with my client every step of the way. After I sent Attorney Barnette an email introducing her to my client, within minutes, Kristin was call...ing telling my client about something quite time sensitive! Kristin is thoughtful and informative to the client, yet assertive and practical. I highly recommend Kristin to any body who has been inured in an accident. My client was quite happy with her work and so am I!

Personal Injury/Slip and Fall

Hired Kristin Barnette as my Attorney for a long shot slip and fall case/leg injury. She was very attentive, professional and understanding. Got me a settlement in a speedy amount of time and the amount was more than expected without getting to a trial. I highly recommend Kristin for your personal in...jury case.

Greatful for her help following an auto accident

Kristin provided strong guidance through a personal injury insurance claim that resulted in a lawsuit. She was encouraging through the difficult parts and a sympathetic listener. I felt that she had my best interest at heart and provided great communication and advice throughout the process, despite ...the fact that I now live in another state and we never met in person. We were able to resolve the case in a manner that gave me peace of mind. I wouldn't hesitate to use her services again if I needed too.

I Wouldn't Want To Be Them

Kristin took over my case from an attorney that was leaving the firm. Kristin called me and introduced herself and by the end if the call I was not worried another attorney was handling my personal injury case. Kristin told me what she intended to and she did it. Kristin kept me informed every step o...f the way and returned every phone call, or email. She also helped me with third party funding to help me through rough times until my case settled. If you have ever been injured and out of work you know exactly what I mean. That to me is the biggest difference between Kristin and other lawyers is that she really cares about her clients. So whoever, or what she is litigating on your behalf " I Wouldn't Want To Be Them."
