Professional, Trustworthy and Very Knowledgeable!

Not only would I recommend Barbara to anyone in need of a lawyer for family issues I would trust her again with my case. Barbara not only did her job as my lawyer she made me feel comfortable with the process, I was informed every step of the way. She always made sure I understood what was happenin...g and welcomed my questions. Barbara's communication was key to me getting through the stressful time. I knew Barbara had my children's best interest in front of everything else and never made me question her loyalty to my case. She argued my children's wishes and never backed down from what was right for them. When it came time for court Barbara knew every detail and gave me every possible outcome so I would not have any surprises. I felt very prepared and knew that Barbara was as well. I could go on and on, but it comes down to Barbara being a great person who helped me through one of my hardest times and never made me feel bad for breaking down or getting angry, I could not have done it with out her.

Highly reccomend Barbara Van Duyne

I would highly recommend Barbara Van Duyne to handle your divorce. She did an excellent job in securing everything that I wanted for myself and my children. She is very knowledgeable of the law, your rights, and how to achieve your goals. At the same time, she is very compassionate and understandi...ng in dealing with the emotional difficulty of a divorce. She is easy to get a hold of, and always promptly returned calls and emails. I will always recommend her and her law firm, Raggio and Raggio, to anyone on the DFW area going through a divorce.

Outstanding Lawyer

Barbara and I worked together on a family matter in early 2014. She is focus on what really matters, she is very professional (yet personable), and is very knowledgable of the law. What I value most was her ability to explain legal particulars in a understandable, meaningful way as she guided me th...rough the options toward the best decisions for my family. I came to quickly trust her recommendations and guidance. She is also supported by a great team at her firm. I highly recommend Barbara.

Amazing Family Law Attorney

Barbara did a great job for my family. She really understands the importance of taking care of the kids first and made sure that our kids had the best possible outcome. She knows the law and knows the courts.

Little Knowledge of the Law

I do not recommend Barbara Van Duyne. She is unprofessional and cost me quite a bit of unnecessary money. I had to hire another attorney to fix her legal mistakes.

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.
