Kept me out of contempt of court

My ex brought me to court on a contempt of court charge. Joel not only took the time to listen to my situation and story, but immediately found the course of action to keep me out of jail and not be charged contempt fines. Joel is a straight shooter and calls it the way it is, definitely knows family... law and will be quick to tell you what will work and what won't. His staff which includes Rachael and Jessica kept me well informed about my situation. If you have any questions at all, I highly recommend just getting a consultation and forming your own opinion.

Kids First

Joel and his staff and very knowledgeable and experienced in TPO's, divorce, and custody. My case involved all three. This office is not only professional, they are also compassionate, determined, empathetic. They put the care of my children at the forefront. As my family is in another state they wer...e my support system. Having the Barber Law Office allowed me to focus on my kids. Not only did they answer all my questions and concerns when I called but they also walked me through the personal growth. Joel's compassion and knowledge is a force to be reckoned with in the court room. He represented me with tact and professionalism during every court meeting and was able to provide me with all options for my case.

The ONLY attorney you need!!!

Joel Barber and his team are an outstanding group of professionals you definitely want on your side when it comes to divorce and custody disputes! Joel has represented me twice now and I have been completely satisfied with the outcome of both cases. Attorney Ryan McElhinney was quite often my go-t...o contact in Joel's office and he worked very hard behind the scenes meeting with me, planning meetings, consolidating paperwork, emails, photos, text messages, and answering numerous questions and concerns I had along the way. Ryan always got answers for me and eased my mind when Joel was unavailable, reassuring me that Joel would take care of everything and that I didn't need to worry which was always true and never lip service. Joel, Ryan, and Elizabeth delivered a personal service to me. Joel is a family man and he treats his clients like family as well. He is caring, compassionate, dedicated, and extremely knowledgeable. Joel does not make promises he can't keep. He is REAL and very straight forward backing all of his statements with case facts. Joel captivates his audience both in and out of the courtroom. He not only comes from a family of attorneys, but he somehow knows everyone in the business which adds to his many strengths. Joel's confidence, knowledge, and presence during the proceedings proved to be instrumental in my favor. What initially felt like my worst nightmare stepping foot into the courtroom quickly diminished, Joel carried the burden of all my stress walking step by step with me throughout the entire day (several hours!); this was like a walk in the park for Joel, high energy, always a smile, clearly his passion shone through as he put his seasoned skills to work for me. Joel dominates in the courtroom and you do NOT want to be on the receiving end! Although there are always costs invested to retain a great attorney such as Joel, I felt that my needs were met and his firm was invested in me and my family from start to finish! Joel is hands down the best attorney, and the ONLY attorney you will ever need!

Baber Law Group Inc

Barber Law Group, Inc I don’t even know where to begin with Joel and his team. You never really think about your future crumbling until it has gotten so bad that you really do not know what to do… Over a year ago I was introduced to these amazing people at a really tuff time in my life. I was so ...scared, I felt so alone in my battle, in a fight I thought I would never get out of. They are the reason today that I have peace and hope. When your roads get tuff in life and feel you have nowhere to go, you do, Barber Law Group, Inc. This is the team for you that will not only fight for you… They will give you an outcome you never thought you would have. It was NOT easy for me and no matter how hard it got this group was always there right by my side, a phone call away, helpful, guided me, taught me see things though and not to feel stupid or scared or confused and helpless. What I have learned from this experience is to have hope, faith and trust in someone and that someone for me will always be Joel, Elizabeth, Rachael and Adrianna at Barber Law Group. There are really no words to really express what they have done for me. I know now that there is truly great help out there, for me, it is this group, always. Do you know how good it feels to have a great team be your back bone? When I was at my weakest Joel and his wonderful team helped me to become slowly stronger moment by moment, that there is a gift. Not easily given with the road that I have been on and still on. I thank every one of you from the bottom to the top of my heart for everything you have done, are doing and will do. All the way to the end… Truly and forever grateful, Serena

Joel Barber and Associates

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.
