Review Barry Rorex

Honest, trustworthy, and competent attorney

Posted by

My husband and I felt this was probably the only honest attorney in the Tucson area. We've come across plenty , and Mr. Rorex was probably whom we felt most comfortable with. Competent, diligent, and trustworthy. He will give you an honest opinion regarding matters. Highly recommended.

Posted by

Understands how to deal with debt collection agencies

Posted by

I was getting sued for a credit card debt that I had let get out of control. I was examining all of my options (ALL of them), and to put it simply, Barry showed me how I could get my life back. Without Barry, I wouldn't know how to begin to negotiate with these people, but Barry knew all the "tricks" that they might try to pull and how to prepare for and respond to them. I was staring at a 25% wage garnishment that would have crippled me until I paid a full $5600 plus accruing interest. Instead, I was able to get away with a settlement of $3200. Thanks, Barry!

Saved My Future.

Posted by

Barry Rorex and his team are utterly amazing. When you were an 18 year old teenager living on credit you didn't have to just make it you tend to make poor judgments that affect your financial future. Then when you grow up and try to make a good life for yourself it gets brutal based on past choices. Barry has helped me through so much and I am forever indebted to him. I highly recommend him and his talented team to anyone. He truly saved my future. Thank you.

I met with Mr. Rorex and his staff for a consultation about a landlord/tenant case. They spent a great deal of time going over my documentation and explaining, in a detailed and understandable way, what my legal options were. He and his staff are knowledgeable, fair, and accessible and always have the best interests of their clients in mind. He has been a fantastic advocate in dealing with the property management company. I would highly recommend the office of Barry Rorex.

Mr. Rorex worked for Homeowners for Justice Inc. For about 10 years. We would recommend him as we were very happy with his work for us.
Barry Rorex's response: While I no longer work with Homeowners for Justice, I still work everyday to help homeowners and other consumers get justice and protection under the law. Thank you for your recommendation!

Couldn't review the case law I cited in application to my civil problem that I cited without charging me money in his free consultation services for me so I could determine if his professional services could help me. Kirk

Unhappy client

Posted by

On May of 2015 I hired Mr. Rorex for legal advice and to represent me in filing a lawsuit. I paid him half of the fee that he requested, $250.0 for a demand letter and the court filing fees. Mr. Rorex and his secretary didn't answer my phone calls, e-mails and texts. Weeks and months have gone by without a word from them. I did some research to try and find out what was going on. To this day I still have not heard from them all I know is that he is no longer at the location that he was at when I hired him. I lost over $1,200.00. Still waiting for him to call me.

Barry Rorex is an excellent lawyer who truly cares about his clients. His office works tirelessly to protect the little guy from wrongful actions by the big banks and financial companies. If you need help with bankruptcy, foreclosure, or debt issues, I can think of no one better than Barry Rorex.

Edward Hopkins, Chapter 7 bankruptcy Attorney on Nov 6, 2011
Relationship: Fellow lawyer in community

Not only is Mr. Rorex an experienced and knowledgeable attorney, he truly cares about his clients. So does his committed team. He is my top referral for Arizona Chapter 7 and 13 bankruptcies. He is also excellent when it comes to consumer rights law, foreclosure law, and loan agreement law. When I have complex questions about how any of these areas of law are handled in Arizona, I usually call his firm. Mr. Rorex and his firm have my strongest endorsement.

Frederick Meissner, Bankruptcy and debt Attorney on Feb 3, 2010
Relationship: Fellow lawyer in community
