Barry Christian Hart Lancaster

My son (aka the idiot) was charged with DUI and opted for a blood test rather than the breathalyzer. I live in CT so dealing with my son's indiscretions was a problem due to distance. I interviewed a number of attorneys over the phone, but after speaking with Barry for a few minutes, I knew I'd fo...und the right attorney. Barry got the case reduced to careless driving and a minimal fine.

When you are facing a DUI/DWAI charge, the experience can be overwhelming. Almost every aspect of your life can be affected. And you need to take action, the long term ramifications can be serious. I know, it happened to me. Fortunately, I found expertise and a steady professional demeanor in ...hiring Barry to represent me legally. In taking the time to understand every aspect of your case, you can count on Barry to be direct in pointing out the strengths and challenges in your case. From there he will be on the journey with you through this difficult time. Being adept at navigating legal intricacies is of course what lawyers do, what you hope for, in hiring counsel. To have someone in your corner with an alcohol charge, when it can seem like the odds are stacked against you, you want that in a lawyer - Barry is that person. Determining what was legally possible with my case is something Barry made very clear to me, maybe not what I always “wanted,” but what was possible. More than just, “doing his job,” this due-diligence to keep me “in-the-loop” provided a steady sense of value. Clearly at ease and competent with all aspects of legal proceedings, in the courtroom, and with the Prosecuting Attorney (DA), Barry will take a stand for your situation. No possibility will be left un-attended to. When appropriate, he knows how to bring force to bear, while also maintaining a steady professional presence. Most important to mention here is that with Barry’s representation, my DWI charge was reduced to a non-alcohol moving violation. Essentially the very best outcome one could hope for. There is a lot going on with a DUI/DWI, don’t let it get the best of you. Legally, as you would hope in hiring an attorney, you can trust Barry will attend to all aspects of your situation… Personally, I can tell you from my own experience, he will “have your back” as well.

For my first DUI, I secured public defense for my court case but was left with the option of whether to hire representation for my DMV hearing. I contacted several attorneys around town and they all told me to save my money because I was going to lose. Then, I called Barry. He listened to me explain ...my story for only a few minutes before he knew how he would best represent me and greatly improve my odds of having the case dismissed. I was a bit hesitant (given what the other attorneys had said) but I decided to take a chance- and, what a great decision that was! Thanks to Barry, I am happy to say that my case was dismissed and I, still, retain all of my driving privileges. Barry is a very smart, attentive, non-judgmental, compassionate attorney and I highly recommend that you contact him before hiring representation anywhere else.

Barry is the best. He was the third attorney that I had looked into for DUI help and I instantly knew he was the one for me. I left the initial consultation feeling reassured and confidant. His complete investment in my case right from the start, friendly demeanor, as well as his clear moral fiber an...d knowledge eased my mind. Barry is very easy to talk to and responded to any and every question I had quickly and thoroughly as well as keeping me up to date with the case and what needed to be done. His tireless work resulted in my DUI getting dropped which was an outcome I had thought was close to impossible and I am very grateful for him. I now recommend Barry to anyone who is in a similar situation.
