Comprehensive and Concise Consultation!

We contacted Mr Barr about a possible upcoming legal issue. He had the time to listen to our issue, discussed the variables and then go on to give his advice and knowledge on the circumstance. He also shared the cost and possible ramifications of proceeding with legal action. It's nice to know that t...here are lawyers who care, show compassion, and concern, at a time when you're unsure of future litigation and are seeking information as to how to proceed forward. We felt very comfortable knowing that if indeed we needed to seek legal council, we would hire Mr Barr to handle our case. Thanks Mr Barr!

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.
