Barry Christian Hart Lancaster

I was 1600 miles from Denver in S. Carolina when I was served with a temporary restraining order from my ex-wife.. It was on the evening of Friday the 13th.. I began researching attorneys in the Denver area who were skilled in such defense, and on Saturday morning, I desperately tried to contact a ...few that seemed to be good candidates. Above all else I knew I was innocent, but moreover, I knew that I could not afford to lose - my job requires a very clean background.. Long story short, I chose Barry Lancaster, and although he was not the cheapest, even before I had retained/hired him, he asked the best questions and was much quicker at gathering information. This was very important because I was due in court, in only 5 days! We worked together at such a long distance and 2 hr difference in time zones to dig through yrs worth of data, to make an airtight case. When the hearing took place, Barry coached me on courtroom edicate so that I wouldn't ruin my own strong position. My accuser had issued this order back on 4/29, but I was not served until 5/13; and yet on 5/19 I had secured council, and she had not. The judge, by the rules he is governed by, was going to grant an continuance - which would have been very costly once more to take off from work and travel across the country, not to mention additional attorney services. Barry asked the judge for a recess, and during this time, met privately with my accuser, explaining the costs involved and the airtight case he had. He then gave her an 'out' - drop all charges and have the case dismissed, or be prepared to lose & be held responsible for all bills associated with these false accusations. She took the 'out' and the case was dismissed. Of course, I then am left with paying for proving my innocence - but there is no doubt that had I not gotten council, and good council - namely Barry Lancaster, this may have cost me so much more - even my very livelihood! Bottom line: very professional and thorough; very insightful and personable.

I retained Mr. Lancaster for a very tricky protection order case and couldn't have been happier with the results. After months of harassment from my ex, in which he had filed multiple protection orders against me so that I could not go to work, Barry ensured that he is no longer able to affect my lif...e. He was caring, concerned, and incredibly kind throughout the process. He exhaustively combed through mounds of paperwork, referencing and cross-referencing every item until he understood every nuance of my case. I can't recommend his services highly enough and I am incredibly grateful for his compassion and expertise!

I hired Barry Lancaster as my attorney to protect me against a wrongfully filed restraining order from my ex-girlfriend. I was kicked out of my own house and I figured that I needed a lawyer since I obviously don't know the law (getting kicked out of the house that had my name listed on the loan docu...ments seemed unlawful to me). Barry prepared me for court by having me bring evidence that I wouldn't have thought to bring to court. Barry took command of the courtroom when he was representing me there. He proved to the judge that the restraining order was a farse. When my mind was flooded with emotions of injustice Barry was able to provide clarity and direction. Even after the restraining order issue was completed, Barry went above and beyond what I had paid him for by acting as a mediator between me and my girlfriend to figure out what to do with the house that my girlfriend and I had bought together. In this society of men being guilty until proven innocent in these types of cases, I'm grateful to have had Barry represent me. I know that I wouldn't be able to represent myself as well as Barry represented me and I'm very grateful to have hired him for my lawyer. The restraining order would have stayed on my criminal record if the judge decided that the restraining order was justified. I highly recommend Barry to represent anybody who has had a restraining order filed against them.
