Bobby Dale Barina

Barina Law does not deserve the minimum 1 star much less your business. You are so much better off finding an attorney office who actually does their job instead of charging you for things that they didn’t do, things they’ve already done that you’re now charged double for, and overcharging on things ...and when you question it- they won’t give an answer. Maggie is the worst paralegal and the most unprofessional person. Every time we had a phone call or meeting she would “choke” on the food she was eating or her drink and wouldn’t respond to my questions or concerns. She barely communicated and filed many things without my knowledge of what was being filed and for the original filing of my served papers, THERE WAS INCORRECT INFO that I didn’t see until asking for my case file to give to my new attorney… because she NEVER kept me in the loop when filing things on MINE and MY SONS behalf. She was always interrupting me and almost every in person meeting would talk about other clients and their cases (Bobby Barina also did this multiple times I was in the office-walking around spreading clients business). Almost every single appointment I had, I would show up to the office or be waiting for the phone call and it wasn’t until after my appointment time had passed did I have to question her and was told that my attorney was out sick or had to go to a hearing etc, yet never could I have communication prior to. All of the emails I asked to be forwarded to my attorney, she never did. Actually she hardly filled my attorney in on anything because when I finally saw him at the hearings, due to never getting an appointment with him, he would have no clue what I was talking about. One of my last missed phone call appointments, she hung up on me when I was upset due to taking off work and never even having my appointment with a hearing a couple days after and didn’t know what to even expect and her lack of communication yet again. She was rude, lied to me MANY times, and in my opinion, should not be someone you have on your team representing your name. I can’t tell you how many times I had to call up there or email (to which there was many she just didn’t respond to and then essentially called me a liar because ‘she responded to all of them’) just to get info on my case because she severely lacks communication skills but I’ve found it was a way to rack up more money on my trust because she could do whatever and not have to answer for it. And not just her apparently. The whole office is like that. Melissa could never give me an answer on my concerns with appointments or anything general office related, as if she had no knowledge of how to do her job, and lied to my face many times and acted as if I was stupid. When my attorney was no longer at the firm, I had to inquire about it and about my case before they would tell me. Then when I decided to hire another attorney due to that and also because they’ve done nothing I’ve asked, they sent me a bill that took over half of my trust money out, to rescan things and a bunch of other bs made up things to take more of my money, things they’ve already done (they scanned my original copy stuff in months ago) and then when I emailed and told them that was ridiculous and I will not be charged for that, they had no care in the world. They actually didn’t even respond until I had to email again about getting my money. And that was Bobby Barina and Brittany- charging me for bs things to take more money. I could go on and on, in depth, of every single issue I’ve had. This is by far the worst “attorney firm”. Unless you want to keep spending money for bs and have nothing done on your case, never have appointments to actually talk to your attorney, have your case sh!t talked about amongst everyone, and then not get your money back because they’re greedy people with money that’s not even theirs… do not hire anyone from Barina law. Do not keep money in your trust if you’re already with them.

Do not hire Bobby Barina. He is polite and sounds like just what you need in the initial consultation. But after depositing your retainer check, he doesn't return calls or emails or answer questions even in person. He easily knows how to interrupt, change the subject and make you forget what you aske...d. He did not do anything I requested and did not follow through what he said he would do in the initial consultation. I turned in the discovery documents. He had them a month before the hearing but didn't turn them over to the opposing counsel. I was charged in contempt of court. He told me not to worry because he would pay the fee since it was his office's fault I was being charged. Then during the hearing he told the judge that it was my fault due to my MS. I couldn't believe he flat out lied to the judge. I kept quiet for so long hoping to just get through my divorce, not knowing it was going to drag on forever. It took a year for the temporary hearing. Even during COVID that is no excuse. I know several couples who got divorced last year in just a few months, even with a court battle. When I confronted him, he dropped me. I should have dropped him that first month but I never dreamed I would still be married 20 months and $15,000.00 later

This attorney took my case in 2015 for a common law marriage that didn't exist and a claim against my business. This attorney and stay did NOTHING from 2015-2017 except take money. No returned calls, horrible office support, incomplete paperwork! I hired another attorney and the case was closed in 6 ...weeks without being a marriage! Please please please read the other poor reviews

You have a better chance of winning the lottery than to have this guy return your calls or emails in a timely manner. Two years and still nothing got done with my case. Had to go to another attorney to get my case completed, and he got it done in only two months. Heed my warning, just please look el...sewhere.

I am currently a client of Mr. Barina's in the past two months I have left several messages and he has failed to return any of my calls. Upon his professional suggestion instead of going to court I agreed to meditation, the opposing client has failed to set an appointment, we even came to an agreeme...nt and then nothing for very close to 3 months. I have sent messages to him, called him, I have even requested to set a new court date due to the lack of communication from the opposing party and yet no reply. I would not recommend him, they are very friendly at the beginning but as time passes so does their helpfulness. I honestly do not know what steps to take next and feel I may have to spend more money hiring a different lawyer.
