First case my tie rod broke on my truck causing me to hit a parked car then a ditch, not knowing I blow, instead of refusing it was over the legal limit, I was charged with a DUI I hired Mr. Sallinger outcome was careless driving; Next case I was bogged down on private at a club I refused the breatha...lyzer & was charged with another DUI, outcome case thrown out; Next case I was in a single vehicle accident I did the road side test & refused the breathalyzer I was charged with DUI, when spoke with Mr. Sallinger he asked if I wanted to fight it, but I chose to take the one year suspension, I convicted with a first offense DUI, I don’t drink anymore & I couldn’t have found a better law firm to represent me, outstanding service & professionalism firm as a whole I would recommend them.

What a great law firm!

I have had the pleasure of interacting both with Mr. Barry Salligner and Ms. Allyson Prejean at the Salligner Law Firm. While nobody wants to have to retain a lawyer and go to court, I must report that both of these individuals made the court processes as painless as possible. Mr. Sallinger represe...nted me personally and Ms. Prejean represented my son in a separate matter. All interactions were timely, responsive, and professional. Most notable was that Ms. Prejean went out of her way to help me to help my son obtain the assistance that he so greatly needed. She was compassionate, caring and tenacious in securing the needed help. As well, the supportive staff / paralegals for both of these individuals exhibited excellent follow-through with communication. I highly recommend Mr. Sallinger and Ms. Prejean!

Executive Director

Allyson Prejean and the team at Barry Sallinger Law Firm have exemplified what an attorney should do in representing a client. Their attention to detail, follow up and comprehensive handling of our case provided great confidence and security that our case was being handled well and that we were bein...g represented to the fullest extent. I would highly recommend the Barry Sallinger Law Firm to handle your legal needs. They have brought great comfort in a very difficult situation.

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.
