A few years ago, I was hit by a drunk driver and really should have been killed. My car was airborne for over 40 feet, and rolled two and a half times. The drunk driver was driving on a suspended license, and had no insurance. When my insurance company offered to replace my car and pay for my medical... expenses, I was in disbelief. A friend put me in touch with John Barr, and told me that he would see to it that I was treated well. I was. He flew to Lubbock to meet us, and when he learned all of the facts, he went to work. I can never thank him enough. He cares, he knows his field, and he was successful in obtaining the maximum my insurance company could offer. John Barr is one of the few who give a good name to those who practice law.

It has taken a long time, but I have learned that a fancy downtown office on a penthouse floor does not automatically equal a good lawyer. (Neither does a paid-for ad for "Best Lawyer".) In fact, all those trimmings may mean a lawyer who is adept at billing. I made a HUGE mistake in not calling John ...Barr immediately a few years ago when I needed an attorney STAT, a mistake I paid for dearly by losing a preliminary ruling. The minute he came on, the game changed, and for the better. I felt a confidence that the case was being taken care of without having to micro-manage. (I even slept better at night!) John is smart, caring, and the legal bulldog you want when you need one. He is the Marcus Welby MD of Dallas attorneys, as he cares about his clients, loves what he does, and never gives up. He has me as a client for life, which may ultimately drive him crazy because I never hesitate to refer him to anyone who needs a solid, seasoned attorney. Finding a good attorney is really an art, and this guy is the best in town.

John is a stellar attorney. John and his firm of Burt Barr & Associates have handled a number of litigated and non-litigated matters for our organization over the years not only in Texas, but in the Southeastern and Southwestern United States and Mexico. He is the "Go-To Lawyer" for our organization.... He is a man of his word and if you want the job done correctly, we highly recommend John Barr.
