Barbara P E DuVan

After an exhaustive, unsuccessful and frustrating search to find an attorney to assist me with an EDD unemployment appeal case, I cold called Barbara DuVan, an Employment and Labor Attorney I found through the Avvo network. Most Employment Attorneys I contacted cut me off as soon as they learned my ...case was an EDD appeal, because they did not handle this area of employment law. Barbara did not. She listened with an empathic ear. She felt sympathy towards my situation and truly wanted to help. Although she was unable to assist me directly, she offered to search her contacts for attorneys experienced in this field of law and get back to me. I was pleasantly surprised when she contacted me only moments later with a list of attorneys who accepted unemployment EDD appeal cases. Because of her kindness and willingness to assist me, I was put in contact with an amazing attorney who not only took my case, but also won my EDD appeal. My assessment of Barbara is that she is a compassionate individual who cares about people, the law and providing justice. From the bottom of my heart, thank you Barbara!!

I hired Ms. Barbara DuVan Clarke during the most difficult period of my life. Barbara DuVan Clarke lied to me. She is an attorney I will never trust nor will I ever trust the associates she works with. She did not inform me of what was going on in my case. When she claimed to have reached an agreemen...t with the opposing counsel, she could not provide me with a copy of the settlement agreement. As months flew by, I realized she was simply ignoring me. I cannot and will not ever recommend Ms. Barbara DuVan Clarke. Lastly, Ms. Barbara DuVan Clarke has even misplaced my Case File and cannot give it to me. I only hired her because there were no negative comments on her profile and decided to give her a chance since she was struggling to find clients and working out of her home in Redondo Beach. I now know why there are no negative comments on her profile because she has consistently removed all of my previous posts. I am only sharing my experience so this matter doesn’t happen to someone like me in the future.

I had an employment case that we took to trial. I never thought my case would even see a courtroom because several lawyers had rejected me before Barbara took my case. She filed it for me, aggressively litigated it, but was always courteous and professional. She answered every question and returne...d every phone call the same day or the next. I knew I was wronged by my former employer, and Barbara believed in me at all times. She fought for me like no one else would. She helped me not be intimidated by the jury and judge, and proved my case during trial. The jury was very generous, and I even won more than I thought I would. I highly recommend Barbara because she will absolutely fight for you. I can't express my gratitude for her.
