Carol M Barnes

A friend of mine, who was a former client of Carol’s, highly recommended her to me. I am so grateful that she did. Carol explained the entire process to me and the strengths and weaknesses of my case. Carol and I advised a strategic plan to accomplish my goals. Carol executed the plan exactly as ...she stated she would. Carol promptly returned my telephone calls and responded to my emails. I was notified of all communications between counsel and I always knew what was going on in my case. Carol explained to me what would be occurring at the court hearings and took the time to go over everything again prior to the hearing. I was never caught off guard because Carol always prepared me beforehand. Ultimately, the strategic plan that we came up with worked and I achieved my goals. Carol and her staff worked very hard on my behalf and honestly billed me for the time it took to do the work. My experience with Carol and her firm is that they are honest, hardworking, and truly fight for their clients. I will recommend her to anyone who is going through a divorce or custody matter.

A judge made a ruling in a family court case that involved us. We thought it would be prudent to retain a lawyer to further clarify the court's expectations. The Barnes Law Group, specifically, Carol Barnes, was recommended to us. At our initial meeting, we found Carol to be a very good listener... and very knowledgeable. While not betraying client/attorney privilege, Carol was able to cite two cases with fact patterns almost identical to ours. It was clear to us that Carol understood our position and what Nevada law applied to our situation. Carol was able to quickly analyze our situation. She took us through several logically thought-out, clearly communicated, creative options that took into account the law, our specific circumstances, and the personality of the court (which, in family court, is important). Carol made a recommendation she thought would be best for us. We were happy with her good judgement in that the recommendations focused on our goals and did not get involved with non-essential, extraneous, actions. While very confident in her advice, Carol did not project the image that she had all of the answers; she is very willing to entertain alternative approaches. Together, we and Carol developed a strategy for dealing with our situation. We had meetings with other parties in the case. Carol, arriving at the meetings fully prepared, was able to successfully interact with us, the other party and the other party's attorney. Carol is very good at dealing with people. During our interactions with Carol, we found her to be very direct. She tells you what you should do and then she tells you what she is going to do. Carol then does what she said she was going to do. During our conversations, Carol alluded to other courses and seminars she had taken. This was evident in her knowledge of, not only the law, but interpersonal communications, and mental health issues. We found Carol and her staff to be very accessable, available, and responsive to our needs at all times.

Nothing but a great experience. Another lawyer actually recommended Carol Barnes for my case. Both Carol and Maria have been nothing but fantastic to my family and I. Maria is always available to answer any questions you may have and i know from personal experience that is an unusual occurance. Carol... is always punctual to any hearings and comes early to review everything that is going to happen. We couldn't be more pleased

I hired Carol Barnes after consulting with numerous attorneys about my custody matter. One of the attorneys I consulted with accused me of lying and trying to keep my child away from her father. None of the attorneys seemed to really understand personality disorders and how damaging they are to child...ren. Then I met with Carol, not only did she get it, she was able to predict my ex's next moves. My ex's attorney kept accusing me of alienation; I was not alienating I was protecting my child. Carol kept showing me the traps my ex was trying to set and how to avoid them. Carol was able to get the Judge to understand exactly what was going on an prove that my ex was dangerous. I got full custody and my child is now safe. I am so thankful that I found Carol.

Carol has represented me for almost 10 years now. Being a father, primary custody is not easy to have, but Carol got this for me. She has done amazing work and doesn't take any "crap" from opposing council. She has fought for me through numerous pleadings including going all the way to the Nevada Su...preme Court. She has won every single time. My son wouldn't be in my life if it wasn't for Carol's hard work and effort.
