Tenacious through obstacles

Less than three months after having major back surgery I was rear ended in an automobile accident. I was eager to get back in to see my surgeon to make sure the hardware placed in my lower back had not moved and to determine the cause of the pain I was feeling after the accident. My Surgeon refused t...o examine me or treat me after the accident. I could not believe it! I was given a complete run around all the while I was becoming more and more anxious to get my back checked out. I was fortunate enough to find Kristopher Barber and his Law Firm. From the moment I walked into the Barber Law Firm office I was treated with dignity and genuine concern for my plight. They took control and got me the immediate care that I needed, the examination to determine the integrity of the hardware in my lower back and treatment I needed to overcome my recent injuries. I can't say enough good things about The Barber Law Firm and their staff. Terisa Owens' took the time to ensure that I understood the whys and hows of my case and her followup communications kept me abreast of expectations and options. These folks are great, I would certainly recommend them to friends and family.

So grateful for the Barber Law Firm

I was referred to the Barber law firm by my physical therapist at 3D physical therapy. From my initial meetings with the new client coordinator Bianca Trejo to the final days of my case working with Lori Sierra, the Barber team was phenomenal! They were attentive my needs and concerns and made sure I... was informed of the process every step of the way. I felt well taken care of during a very difficult time when there was so much unknown. They handled all communication with the insurance companies as well as contacted the hospitals on my behalf in regards to billing and payments. It was such a blessing knowing I was not alone in dealing with the aftermath of my accident. Kristopher and his team were thorough and attentive to every detail of my case. They paid attention to what was important to me and treated me as more than just a pay check. I truly enjoyed working with them and although I hope to never get in another car accident, I have peace of mind knowing that I will always have them in my corner.

Thanks for helping my Dad!

I checked Avvo before I decided on The Barber Law Firm for my Dad who was hit by a car while riding his bicycle. We had the pleasure of working with Allison, Michele, Xochilt, Attorneys Barber and Strong. I appreciated the time and attention the entire staff gave my Dad during the whole process. I ...highly recommend The Barber Law Firm.

Lori Sierra is awesome!

This was the best experience I have ever had. Lori Sierra is just outstanding! She was on top of my case from day one. She always anwered my call, kept me informed, answered questions immediately and was so kind and professional. I would absolutely use The Barber Law Firm again because of how attenti...ve and helpful Lori was. I would rate them as the best!

"I endorse this lawyer. Kris is a great lawyer and great father/husband. Not only is his skill top notch, he is a man if great integrity. If you are lucky enough to have Kris handle your case, you are not only getting the very best, you are getting an attorney that care about your outcome and your well being completely aside from whatever fee he may earn. My wife and I watched him try a lawsuit where the opposing counsel took some personal shots at the Plaintiff. Kris stood and DESTROYED the other side with a calm confidence that had to be seen to be believed. Of course, the jury voted for Kris and his client. Don't hesitate to hire this top quality attorney."

"I first met Kris Barber when I was appointed ad litem attorney on a wrongful death case he was handling for the surviving child. He demonstrated competence, professionalism, and a zeal for his client. I have known him for several years, and know his reputation to be excellent. I can, and do, unhesitatingly recommend him as plaintiff's counsel in the personal injury and malpractice areas."

"I have had the privilege to personally work with Kris on numerous matters and have known Kris for almost 8 years. I have come to admire and respect Kris for his intellect and incredible work ethic. I have worked with and referred complicated cases to Kris and look forward to doing so again. Simply put, Kris would be the first person I would call if I were in need of an attorney."

Personal injury lawyer | Oct 30

Relationship: Worked together on matter

"I have referred cases directly to Kris and I have worked with Kris on several cases. I have watched him help people involved in minor fender-benders with relatively minor injuries, and I have seen him help those with serious life-threatening injuries that at a minimum will forever change their lives. There is no doubt that every single case is important to him and receives the same consideration, analysis and effort as any other - his best. He truly seeks the best strategy for each situation, often mulling over the alternatives, trying to stay two moves ahead of his opposition. I have referred cases to many personal injury attorneys over the last ten years, but nobody can match the results of Kris Barber. His superior knowledge and methodical preparation, in addition to his ability to connect with juries, are the keys to his success. If I ever need a personal injury attorney for myself or a family member, Kris will be the first person I call."

Personal injury lawyer | Oct 21

Relationship: Opposing Counsel on matter

"I met Kris when he represented a woman who sued my client. From the start, Kris was assertive, professional, creative, and very intelligent about the way he handled his client's case. As I got to know Kris better, it was clear that he is ethical and that he puts a great deal of energy and thought into which approach will work best on any given case. He is flexible enough to change strategy when he needs to and smart enough to know when that moment comes. He genuinely cares about providing his clients with the best representation possible and obtaining excellent results on their behalf. I do not hesitate to recommend Kris to people who are looking for a personal injury attorney."

"I have known Kris for over ten years. He is the most hard-working and intelligent attorney I know. When my sister needed a personal injury attorney, I did not hesitate referring her to Kris. He took excellent care of her, as I knew he would. If I ever needed an attorney to fight for me or another family member, I would immediately call Kris."

Relationship: Fellow lawyer in community

"Kris and I overlap in areas of law as well as in geography. As a result, we refer each other clients when we think one case might be a better for fit for the other at the time. When I refer a client to Kris, I do so with complete confidence they will be working closely with a caring and competent attorney unafraid to do what is right to secure justice."
