Karen A. Barney

I had a case where I was charged with a felony for using the wrong university golf cart to set up a scavenger hunt, in my undergraduate year in 2014, for students to learn about the history and culture of my alma mater. I was a self-supporting student and could not afford to hire an attorney, but Ms/...Mrs. Karen A. Barney still defended me. She was very knowledgeable and informed me at the consultation of all materials I needed to provide her to assist the case. At the first court date, after consulting with her, my case was immediately dismissed. I was tasked with literally nothing, besides to communicate with her and follow her instructions. She also informed me to provide the same materials to my university hearing board because they were also reviewing me, with the potential to suspend me indefinetly. Lord behold, the hearing board threw my case out, with confirmation the same day that I would still be a student until I graduated in 2016. Now in 2017, I am in law school. Inspired by her to help others, especially those who can not defend themselves. I just wanted to thank Ms/Mrs. Karen A. Barney for what she has done for me: Kept me out of jail; Kept me in school; and inspired me to be a lawyer. THANK YOU!
