Top-Notch

Mr. Sallinger came highly recommended to me, and for good reason. Start to finish, the process of working with him and his outstanding staff instilled confidence radiated professionalism. Regardless of the outcome, I would've known my case was in the best, most capable hands. The favorable outcome wa...s a huge bonus.

Excellent

Barry and his team were and continue to show exceptional service to my family. They fight tirelessly for their clients and I couldn't be more satisfied with the result of our case. I am forever grateful to Barry, Allyson, and Angel for seeing us through this impossibly difficult time. Had it not been... for them, our future would likely be nonexistent. I cannot thank Mr. Sallinger and his team enough for all of their dedication and personal understanding of our unfortunate predicament. They gave us hope.

Genuine excellence in representation

I have been a client of Mr. Sallinger's more times that I am proud of. However, Mr. Sallinger has never waivered in his support and/or diligence in helping me. I have had a prescription drug problem for a long time and unfortunately it has caused me legal issues. Mr. Sallinger, and his incredibly ...competent staff have been the most professional, helpful and courteous people imaginable. He has worked miracles for me in the court system and has made a way for me to get help and treatment, rather than jail time. I truly respect him greatly and have been ashamed for letting him down by being a "repeat client". But, nevertheless, he has stayed loyal and true through all my trials and tribulations. I hope to never have to utilize his services again, but feel completely safe in the fact that he has been there and will always be there. If your are reading this and have found yourself in a similar situation, I can't speak highly enough about Mr. Sallinger and his entire staff. He is the most competent, understanding, hardworking, professional and compassionate attorney you will find. Mr. Sallinger has truly given me my life back and I am confident that he can and will do the same for you. You will not find any better representation anywhere for any cost. Take comfort in knowing that you will be represented by the best of the best. He is truly a Godsend and a wonderful person. I could not make any higher recommendation of Mr. Sallinger and his staff, especially Angel LeBlanc, who is as kind and helpful as can be. Good Luck to anyone needing legal counsel....you will not go wrong in choosing Mr. Sallinger!!!

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.
