Barbara A. Cole

Barbara Cole helped me navigate my divorce with a mentally ill co-parent, as well as a child custody battle several years later. Barbara's creative strategies and outside-the-box thinking during the initial divorce put me in a very strong position during the custody battle, which I was able to handle... successfully with Barbara's help with the best possible outcome for my child. One of the best things about Barbara is that she balances the beneficial nature of avoiding a nasty courtroom battle with what is ultimately best for both her client, and the child involved during a divorce with children. During the custody battle, my ex hired what I like to call a "macho man lawyer." Barbara knew exactly how to manage him, and did so with ease. Barbara worked very hard to strategize with me in protecting my child the very best way that we could, and the team she recommended be involved in the process has been INVALUABLE to both myself and my child. When she recommends you involve someone in the process, TAKE HER ADVICE. Trust me on this. She is a deep level thinker and is always looking at end game strategy. She is also one of the most compassionate people I have ever met. I cannot thank Barbara enough for her hard work on behalf of myself and my child. I shudder to think what my child would have been exposed to had she not been there every step of the way.

I hired Barbara for my divorce, it was my first time going through this process and was very unsure of process but she was there from beginning to end answering all my questions getting me ready for the whole process .Anytime I had a question she and her team was there to answer she fought for me:) ...I highly recommend Barbara A.
