This review is from a person who hired this attorney.

He saved my life

Falsely accused of a sex crime is absolutely horrendous experience. Ned was steadfast and always available to me throughout the entire saga of investigation, indictment, arrest, court settings, and trial. He is honest and an ethical lawyer. His sincere style and oratory skills in the court room capti...vate the jury. He asked clever questions during cross examination that exposed these false allegations. He brought in co-counsel Brian Burns and they worked amazingly well together against a biased and prejudicial prosecution that used emotion instead of facts in their closing argument. His respect for everyone in the court room throughout the trial builds the juries trust in him as the jury seeks the truth. I cannot say enough about this man. He gave me my life and now I can rebuild it. Thanks Ned!

"Ned Barnett is a very experienced and knowledgeable criminal attorney. He has prosecuted and successfully defended cases in both federal and state courts. I worked for him for over 3 years and have never seen a lawyer take care of their clients like Ned does. He gives each client personalized and special attention and guides them through this stressful legal process. He fully embodies the term "attorney and counselor at law." To top it off, he gets the results that his clients desire."

Avvo Rating

Our Rating is calculated using information the lawyer has included on their profile in addition to the information we collect from state bar associations and other organizations that license legal professionals. Attorneys who claim their profiles and provide Avvo with more information tend to have a higher rating than those who do not.

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.
