Leslie Starr Barrows

Leslie was highly recommended to me for being relentless. Unfortunately she proved that to me from a not-so-acceptable client perspective. I interviewed Leslie and hired the firm. She then assigned the case to a lackluster colleague in her office. On multiple occasions I voiced my concerns abou...t the preparedness for the hearings. I was assured and reassured the firm was prepared. Leslie refused to handle a tangential issue related to my family law case and required another Contract. With no choice, I complied and provided another retainer, on top of the initial retainer. Then I was billed increments of 0.25 hours for 2, 5, 4, 2, 2, and 2 SENTENCES of responses back to me that totaled about 2.5 hours for a total of 17 non-legal sentences. One of these bills was even for an e-mail claimed to have been sent but was not. And yet another bill was for an issue totally out-of-scope for either Contract. Then I was billed TWICE for one event. needless to say, the budget was easily blown through and all the funds were depleted. This is where is got interesting. FINALLY Leslie decided to participate in my case, but not by being involved in my case, rather only in chasing ME for more money . Leslie asked for more money, avoided meeting with me to discuss the billing discrepancies despite at least 2 written requests, and summarily filed a Motion to Withdraw prior to her own written deadline that she didn't have the courtesy to call and tell me about, rather she sent me a Certified Mail. Then it got a little WORSE. During the hearing for the Motion to Withdraw, which was a hearing to also hear a substantive issue, Leslie opted to have the judge rule on her Motion to Withdraw BEFORE the substantive motion. That left me holding the proverbial "legal bag" alone, 'pro se', unprepared. Be careful here. As my Texas Granddad would say, I think Leslie "got a little too big for her britches". Her only involvement was chasing dollars instead of being a client advocate and participating in a case that SHE interviewed for and accepted, knowing my entire personal situation. I would NOT recommend her or her practice.

Review: I had an extremely disappointing experience with this attorney. She represented my husband and failed to fulfill her responsibilities. Not only did she neglect to carry out the necessary tasks, but she also consistently sent us exorbitant bills without any justification. We found ourselves co...nstantly reminding her to complete even the simplest of tasks. It is important for others to be aware of this attorney's lack of professionalism and competence. I would strongly advise against seeking her services.

Referred to me from a friend who was using Ms. Barrows for the first time. I have never retained a lawyer for a traffic citation before so I was curious to see if it actually paid off - wrong. The only time I was contacted via phone was to get payment from me. After that, I was contacted solely throu...gh e-mail and hardly given any details of what was going on. All information received felt like pulling teeth - had to ask a ton of questions and was given short vague answers. Was initially told she could have the ticket not go on my record and probably lower the fine. The only good thing that occurred was the ticket will not go on my record HOWEVER the ticket has now cost me twice as much as it would have cost had I just taken care of it myself. I feel like she saw my case as a petty citation and an easy bit of cash to just toss in with the rest to attend court and knock out in 1 day. Steer clear of this one's promises and find yourself a better attorney.

I came to Leslie's office after I had finally exhausted all of my own efforts. I had been fighting the Attorney Generals office for three years trying to push them to hold my daughters father accountable for years of back child support and unpaid medical. His debt totaled over $30k. I thought I was... saving money by not hiring an attorney turns out I couldn't afford to not hire Leslie. She appointment Lyndsey Newell to my case and things finally starting turning around. I needed her expertise to navigate the system on my and my daughters behalf. Enough was enough and The entire team at The Barrows Firm helped us get several large payments and collect attorneys fees from her father. Now he's being held countable for what he owes. I highly recommend you hire this team. Don't wait! Let them to help you! Trust me, you can't afford not to!

Leslie is awesome! She helped me with my divorce and child custody battle. She fought for what I wanted and was always keeping me informed and did things in a timely manner. She is such down to earth and very easy to talk to! She was excited to see my daughter and wanted what was best for her. Being ...a young single mom they always were very helpful by letting us arrange a payment plan. I would recommend Leslie and her team to anybody! It's nice to have someone on your side that listens and fights for you especially when it comes to your kid! I couldn't have asked for a better lawyer plus she was very reasonably priced.
