Knowledgable and Understanding

I hired Barry on multiple occasions for business and personal matters. He understands the intricacies of the legal system, and worked hard to achieve positive outcomes for me. He helped me realize things that cause me to be in my situations. I recommend him and his staff for anyone seeking a skilled ...defense attorney.

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.

Couldn't have asked for better outcome

Mr. Sallinger and his team did outstanding work settling my felony drug charge and got the best possible results. My charges were dropped and his staff was there to help and answer any questions I had along the way. I highly suggest Mr. Sallinger's services if you're in need a legal help.

OUTSTANDING!!!

I was arrested on a Felony Sexual Battery Charge. When reading what the consequences were, I found maximum sentence, 20 years hard labor. I immediately started my search for an attorney. Several people in the industry recommended Barry. I met w/ Barry, he explained what he thought he could do an...d how he would tackle it. I was somewhat relieved, but still in a panic. I was so relieved, when Barry informed me he got the sentence reduced to simple battery (no felony) NO JAIL Time. One year Supervised probation, reduced to unsupervised probation. It is worth every penny. Jill kept me informed all thru the whole process and was very reassuring the entire time. I HIGHLY Recommend Barry Sallinger and his staff.

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.
