This review is from a person who hired this attorney.

Retired and now prepared future challenges

Eric reviewed and heped us update the family trust which was 20 years outdated. He gave counsel when the dynamics of our family changed and gave guidelines for us to better serve our parents, our children and grandchildren. There is a feeling of safety and comfort knowing we are guided & protected ...by Eric Barnes' team.

Relationship: Fellow lawyer in community

"I highly recommend Eric Barnes as an outstanding elder law attorney. He is one of only a few attorneys in the state of Utah that have obtained the Certified Elder Law Attorney (CELA) designation from the National Elder Law Foundation. This is not an easy honor to obtain or maintain. I have served with Eric as an officer in the Utah Bar Elder Law Section where he consistently brought very thoughtful and valuable insights to the issues being discussed and shared with the members of the section. I've also served as opposing counsel in a guardianship matter where I was impressed by his preparation and thoroughness in his representation of his client. I regularly refer clients who need an excellent elder law attorney to Eric. His fees are worth every penny for the advice that he can provide to families in need of his expertise. I endorse Eric without hesitation."

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.
