Barry Clarkson attorney

Has done a great job for us. He created our family trust, has helped with litigation, advised on two business purchases and several real estate transactions. Very happy with Barry's work!

Can you walk on water? Barry Clarkson can!

Mr. Clarkson has been my attorney for many years and will be for many years to come as well. Mr. Clarkson is very knowledgeable in many areas of the law (especially in estate planning, real estate and contracts law) where he personally works very diligently and effectively to resolve any issues. Then..., he takes the time to review and make sure you understand what is going on and what options you have. This is what makes Mr. Clarkson truly remarkable since usually, other attorneys fail to do. I would highly recommend Barry Clarkson for all of your legal needs. In my eyes, Barry Clarkson is so amazing that he is perfect where he could probably walk on water.

Always first rate service and availability

Mr. Clarkson has been very effective in negotiating several items on behalf of our company. His work is always thorough and timely. I would have no hesitation in recommending him.

Business owner

Mr. Clarkson has successfully negotiated many contracts and settlements with me and my companies. He takes a personal interest in each case he works, unlike other attorneys that I have worked with. I would highly recommend him.

Posted by Neil | October 13, 2014

Great attorney, highly recommended

We do a significant amount of work with Barry and his firm. He handles real estate, business acquisitions, our entities, and family trusts. We have received good counsel from him in the past and we have a good working relationship.

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.
