John Barker helped me in Indiana. Easy to work with!

John helped me with my 2017 GMC Denali pickup that I bought brand new and had nothing but trouble with for the first 3 years. I live in the state of Indiana and didn't know my rights as consumer until I spoke to John and honestly just found him on google. He made the process easy for me but it did re...quire minimal work on my behalf getting together all the paper and claims that I had on the vehicle. But after everything was done John was able to get me a settlement that I really would not have believed was even an option. I can't say enough GOOD things about this process. He took care me and I highly recommend him. He always said he was preparing my to go to trial but it never did and GMC settle out of court.

F150 Issues

We purchased a 2016 Ford F150 and almost immediately started having issues with it. We contacted John Barker and he reviewed our complaint and contacted us within a few days to let us know we had a case. Mr. Barker was extremely friendly and knowledgeable about the law and was able to ease our worrie...s that we would be stuck with a damaged vehicle and never receive compensation. The entire time our case was being worked on John made sure to keep us in the loop on everything. Our case only took a few months and Ford settled with us. I owe all of this to John and his exceptional legal skill. I can only hope that if in the future I require legal services that we get the expert service we received from John Barker.

Very satisfied; Highly recommend

John Barker was excellent from beginning to end. I contacted this law firm after having been lied to over and over again by the local dealer re: my car, a Ford Escape. My initial contact was a “cold call” to this firm having done some internet research. I felt fortunate to have been paired with M...r. Barker from the very beginning. He explained to me every option he was considering each step of the way and why he was recommending certain actions over others. Excellent communication. He answered all of my questions along the way and I fully understood the possible remedies, legal limitations and timelines. I just learned today that we have reached an agreement with Ford and I can say without hesitation that the outcome was a good one, a fair one, to me— the consumer. I give John Barker the highest possible recommendation in all regards.

John fought hard against Hyundai for me!

John was very helpful, from the 1st phone call. He coached me on the ins and outs, and the highs and lows of dealing specifically with Hyundai. He stuck with this case which dragged on over six months. He knew when Hyundai was offering a deal not following the CA Lemon laws. He always answered my que...stions, quickly. Hopefully I never need his services again, but I would not hesitate to contact him should that happen.

He has tried dozens of trials to jury verdicts on behalf of consumers throughout the country and has an impeccable track record nationwide as a leading consumer advocate. Not only can John win your case at Trial, he can more often than not obtain a favorable settlement much sooner than trial due to his knowledge, experience and reputation. If you have vehicle that you suspect is a lemon, do not hesitate: Call John Barker, he is your man."
