Excellent attorney

Joel is the second attorney I used in my divorce/child custody case. He cleaned up the mess that the first attorney created. Joel is very passionate about what he does. He has a very good reputation with fellow attorneys and judges in the area. If you are looking to hire an attorney that will get yo...u the results you want, you should definitely consider Joel.

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.

Phenomenal lawyer

For the last five years I have had the pleasure to work with Joel & Associates whenever I've needed any legal help! Joel himself is a phenomenal lawyer who has always put my best interest first and foremost! He is straight forward, honest and very easy to work with! Joel and Elizabeth continue to sh...ine whenever we have to go to court, or just to help with and legal issue I have come across! I will continue to recommend Joel to anyone looking for a lawyer!

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!
