Best Law Firm in town!

I have known Mr. Sallinger for almost 10 years.. I hired him for my first case. I have used other lawyers and so has my family.. I am also from another state. I received excellent results his team completed tasks that I know I should have been doing. The knowledge and response that you receive from ...his team is beyond expectations. I have dealt with other lawyers and he is the most understanding, and he has the ability quickly to read people and situation from a fair point of view.. His work and decisions is not based off of money and pay.. I highly recommend him and his firm. They work together.. Very knowledgeable in all areas..

Best Lawyer Hands Down

Barry and his team are amazing. They go above and beyond to make sure all your needs are met. Anytime I had any questions or concerns they were always there to take care of me. I have used him for multiple cases and it is the same service every time. Barry, Latonya, and Allison treated me like family.... I was not just another case to them. I highly recommend Barry.

Best Criminal Defense Lawyer In Lafayette!

The lawyers and paralegal at Barry Sallinger's law firm are an AMAZING team. They care about their clients on a personal level. Barry, Allyson and Jan went ABOVE ND BEYOND to make sure I was not only doing what I was supposed to for my case, but they also checked in with me on multiple occasions to m...ake sure *I* was doing well! Winning my case was very important to me. Although, I knew they were amazing at their jobs, they exceeded my expectations on my outcome! I will forever be grateful for the three of them. If you're looking for a team who is good at what they do AND cares about making sure you have a better life after everything is done, THESE ARE YOUR PEOPLE. THIS IS THE TEAM YOU NEED!

THE BEST LAW FIRM!

I would highly recommend Barry Sallinger and his associates to represent anyone in need of a good criminal defense attorney. These people are very familiar with the laws and programs which are available to assist people who listen and work with them. Barry and his team of attorneys, paralegals and ma...nagers (Allison, Jan & Leesa) helped a very close family member of mine get 3 felony drug charges reduced to a drug diversion program and the probability of a complete expungement from the record once the diversion program is completed. With this group, their actions speak louder than their words. I have dealt with many groups of attorneys throughout my business career, however they are by far the Best I have ever dealt with.

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.
