Poor Customer Service

Absolutely horrible customer service. One could argue unethical behavior from a place supposedly hired to help a person during a difficult time. Submitted a retainer over a month ago and not one email or phone call from this company. No sense of urgency whatsoever and more importantly no communica...tion at all. And I mean, 0 effort to communicate with me about my case. I didn't even receive a receipt for payment. No paperwork to sign, nothing... On top of that, I was told that I wouldn't receive a refund for my retainer. I would stay away from this place.

It’s quite convenient that you have been exceedingly vague in your review of my office. I will wait for your phone call tomorrow to clarify exactly who you are and the specifics of your complaints. If. I don’t hear from you, then I can verify to all readers that this is a fraudulent post —-as I suspect. Call me James. I look forward to speaking with you so that I can report back.

2015 Adoption

We used Barbara for the adoption of our granddaughter. We had considered 2 other attorneys prior to retaining her. Her work was impeccable, communication excellent and her office staff top shelf. She was not the most inexpensive but we needed the experience that she brought to the table. We had... the additional dilemma of not knowing if the adoption would be contested. When a child's future is at stake, can you really afford to cut corners? Having said that, her fees were not by any means exorbitant, especially considering the representation we received. Barbara and her staff took care of everything including arranging for the Guardian Ad Litem and getting us into court much sooner than we had even dared to hope. She's professional, no-nonsense and just the type you want in your corner when so much is riding on the outcome. I cannot recommend her highly enough.

Best Lawyer in Missouri and maybe in US

We are very pleased with the way Barbara handles our legal problems. She gets rapid results and we always are kept informed with the progress of our case. She and her staff are very knowledgeable and answer our questions so that we understand.

Hunter is coming home :)

First off I can not thank Brab Vantine and her office staff enough for the amazing job they did helping me through my case and helping me understand the process. My case was a long 9 months but the wait was worth the outcome. As I was very afraid at first I had no chance in winning the case Barb assu...red me that it would all be ok and I would have more time with my son than I started with, regardless of the outcome. Long story short I have been granted 50/50 joint and legal custody of my child and a huge part of the outcome is due to Brabara Vantine and her outstanding ability to be the best lawyer she can be. And my family and I must say she is AMAZING. And we again can't thank her enough. If you are looking for a professional, to the point lawyer I would recommend Barb again and again. Again thank you Barb, Maggie and Latisha for your help, support and most importantly for helping Hunter come home to his mommy. Can't wait to start another new chapter in life.

Waste of money, did not work in our best interest

Did not keep us informed. Did not explain the terms. Did not answer calls. Did not work for us in our best interest. Accepted money from us to do work that was not done, and then never returned money, nor sent a final bill. We told her we were not happy with terms, and she stated we were going to cou...rt anyway.

I have searched my records and not found anyone named Dan that I represented in this capacity or timeframe. Dan- if you would please call my office and identify yourself, I would be happy to discuss this situation with you. BVT

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.
