On March 17, 2014; I had been arrested for a F2 Burglary of a Habitation I was accused of wearing a ski mask and breaking and entering a house in Magnolia, Tx I was unknowing of the law and did not think we were doing was wrong we did not wear ski masks or break in but we did go to house my co defendant and I went to retrieve a stolen object, in the process my co-defendant was assaulted with a hammer, well the kid who assaulted my co defendant was scared he would go to jail so he made the ski mask and breaking and entering part up so. It was my first time being in jail or in any form of trouble but there I was arrested and charged with a felony, worried and afraid of the unknown. Went through the process of waiting and having a public defender assigned to me never met her yet, worried by the voices in jail telling me public defenders are no go there not working for and i believed it. But i'm here to tell you don't believe that bullshit because my "public defender" who isn't working for me did everything for me..she got my case dismissed No Record. So..if you ever find your self in some legal trouble i'm here to tell you, Mrs. Robbie Sue Barker is the name you wanna see working on your case. Thank You Mrs. Robbie
I was facing 10 years of prison time. Without the help of Robbie Barker I would have been on my way to prison for 3rd or more DUI offenses. She worked very hard on my case and I was put on probation for eight years. She was very dedicated to give me the best of her experience to make that happen for me. I highly recommend her for legal services.

I was so blessed to get her!
I got myself in quite a situation, as I had never been in trouble with any law involved matter. I was thoroughly discouraged after I received little to no help from my court appointed lawyer at the time. He no showed multiple times, and I was (thankfully) placed in Robbie Barkers' care. She was ABOVE and beyond her job, and took care of me. She put in quite some time and effort into helping me and later got me out of my situation. I cannot express how thankful I am for her.

10 Years of Prison......Freedom
This lawyer was the answer to my prayers...I was in the county jail facing burglary of a habitation, and assault and i have a prior felony.. I am a Iraqi war veteran with mental issues..Robbie Barker and i started on a year long process of attempting to find a way any way that i could stay free. So i get bail. and stay on bond for over a year fighting my charges. as i said i have mental issues, so there was sooo much work she had to do getting with doctors and hospitals, ect. every month we would go in court and she would fight with the D.A. Robbie and i needing more time and the D.A ready to prosecute. i was offered 10 years of TDC. In the court room i could watch Robbie fighting for me and every single month she would win against the D.A and the judge would give the countinuance....This happened time and time again. finally over a year had past and Robbie hit the courts with her defense for my freedom...Honestly i was thinking 4 years in TDC and i would be ok..long story short it went from 10 years in prison to Probation and community service....Robbie is a amazing lawyer. She related to you and helps you see the big picture...She does what you ask...She will explain everything to you....but most of all She will get you the best judgment in your case...i would reccomend Robbie to anyone but especially to those i care about because i know that she will make it happen... I am blessed because of Robbie... So if your reading this your obvioulsly in some type of trouble, take it from me a prior trouble maker, you cant go wrong with this lawyer... Good luck

Knowledgable, diligent and a winner!
Mrs Barker was the right attorney for me. She took one look at my case and knew there were issues with it. It took a while to get the video from the DA but after she did and reviewed it she was able to get my case dismissed. At first I thought I just wanted to take a probation and get it over with. I'm glad she told me to wait and let her work the case. I would recommend her to anyone needing help with there criminal case.

run... save yourself... she is inept
She was my public defender. Try as you will to contact her or get a call back... It does not work. I basically had to look up case law for her. With a preponderance of evidence in my favor, I still was convicted and got two years probation. The police and the DA were less than honest, yet given proof, she still failed to get charges dropped. Incredulous at best. Now I understand her 6.5 rating

"Robbie Barker is an excellent advocate dedicated to fighting for her clients. As a former prosecutor she knows the inner workings of the system and uses that knowledge to get phenomenal outcomes. She is compassionate and tough - a rare, yet effective combination. I whole-heartedly endorse her."

"16 years of practicing criminal law is what we refer to as experienced. She has a huge advantage over many defense attorneys having been a former Assistant District Attorney for 6 years. "They know that she knows what they know". From murder cases to minor misdemeanors she has handled every level of crime. Knowledge of both the law and procedure is excellent. Do yourself a favor and schedule a consultation with her."
