Joel Bennet Barber

How do I even begin to describe Joel Barber & Associates? Two words. "Beyond Amazing". Joel Barber gets the job you need done. He is professional, efficient, tough, and very knowledgeable. And I can't forget to mention his wonderful staff. I would absolutely recommend Joel Barber & Associates to any ...and everyone. You will not be disappointed

Joel Barber cares about the 'people'. He's available ( while busy), professional, quick study, sharp, efficient, gets the job done in an extremely timely manner and is easy to look at:) In the future I will return to Mr. Barber's office for any of my law needs. I highly recommend him for more than ...divorce as he is multi talented and knowledgeable.

is what I heard her being described to me by a co-worker as I read over the frivolous suit brought on by my ex and his lawyer. What?? I had to respond to that garbage?? and yes, sometimes we find ourselves catching the stench of something really sick. How to know a good lawyer from a bad one? Well, ...take advantage of my hindsight, reviews are great for that. I lucked out!! I really did. That "jugular" that was coming after me for money, character defamation, and threatning jail time over literally nothing..after all did not know her job. Writing endless letters and "fee'ing" her clients into financial ruin is about all she did. But this is about Joel Barber,not her. He is so level headed, which is calming. He will tell you when you're in the wrong and why. He is honest, he does not inflate his fee's writing a bunch of letters or delaying the process to get paid longer. She does that. He does not promise you an outcome that is not possible. Whatever he said he would do and would happen, did happen. I have to say, the office cannot be nicer. His team (Elizabeth, Rachael, Nicole, Adriana )is very patient, efficient, friendly, consistent, reliable. I was a newbee at being sued so you can imagine I said odd things. :0) You get out of it what you put into it. As a client you have to stay in charge of your case. Make the phone calls when you dont hear back at the time you think you should. Everyone get's busy. Check up on things, it's your case! and Joel did win my case. Yeah! Back to the jugular now, because it fit's so well: I misunderstood that description. What I ended up observing on court day was that council could not hold her arguments (and if they are based on lies I expect it to be challenging). She did not know her job. I also overheard her wanting to continue the lost case so she could get paid more. I observed her lack of care for her own client that I could not help feeling sorry for my ex just then. So I saw what kind of lawyer would give everyone else in that field a bad rep. She continued arguing loud enough outside court that I could hear her challenging Joel to fight some more. So she could get paid. Thats not Joel's style. He calls a spade a spade, he deals with facts, and my faith in Law had been restored through his experience. I learned that the opposition could and did make up things that are untrue, building wrong associations between facts so they can have a case. A lawyer can make up and inflate anything to appear serious enough warranting a court date. But she may not get away with it. Sadly so, clients leap up lawyers responses that fuel their hate further, perpetuating this process and end up paying for it all, which I guess in hindsight is well deserved. A lawyer has a responsibility to humankind I feel and Joel does step up to the plate when it comes to that. A conflict of interest hovers in that client lawyer relationship if the lawyer inflates facts so she can get paid more. Joel will not fuel your hate, "creating a case" where there is none. He is an ethically sound person. He will take it down to Brass Tax so to speak and tell you what you can expect. He has years of practice. He knows his stuff. He can argue, oh can he argue! That date in court was designed by the opposition to ruin me financially and throw me in jail. It ended up being a highlight of all my day's lived so far. Feeling validated was pretty awesome. To summarize this: Fee's are reasonable. You wont get lied to. It's ok to open up. Your case will not be dragged along or inflated so Joel or others get paid. You get treated respectfully, honestly and depending on your circumstances, may just walk away seeing the silver lining in your cloud. ps, Elizabeth...you are wayy too nice doing what you are doing every day. Much Respect. You are a darling. xo

I was referred to him by a family member who went through him years ago and he helped win her case. I chose to go with him hoping to win my case as well. He was the best choice I could have made. He easily helped me win my case and now my problems are out the door. Since going through him I have two ...more family members who now use his services.

I was referred to Joel Barber by a close friend and a family member. My first impression of Joel when I met him was charismatic, I knew he was the guy for me. He was honest,up front, and very realistic. He is a real straight shooter. Joel told me the facts about what might or might not happen. H...e was brutally honest, which i can appreciate. He was also very compassionate about my situation, and tried to calm me down when he could tell I was was getting all wound up. The associates at this firm are all very knowledgable in the law. Nicole and Rachael are wonderful. I cannot say enough good things about them both. they both did their best in keeping in constant contact and informing my and addressing my situation and needs. They are very professional, in my opinion did and are doing everything they said they were going to do. i'm not done with my case yet, but i have had very positive outcome on both of my proceedings. I would recommend them to anyone! I cannot thank you all enough.
