Colleen Anne Barberis

We had the good fortune to be referred by a business associate to the Barberis Law Firm for a child custody issue and were represented in court by Colleen Barberis. Colleen was professional and assertive without being overbearing. She was obviously respected by the judge and displayed sensitivity a...nd good grasp of the subtleties of the case which led to total legal and physical custody in our favor. She also has a pleasant manner and good sense of humor. Our interactions with Pat Barberis and staff in the preparation of the case was smooth and clear. We would happily use the Barberis Law Firm again and refer them to anyone else who has to undertake the unfortunate journey to family court. Colleen, Pat and the staff made an uncomfortable situation easier and did so with compassion and grace.

Initially I hired a different divorce attorney but when she found out who my ex had hired she immediately advised me to contact Colleen. She told me Colleen and Pat had much greater experience with more difficult cases. I am sure glad I was referred to them From my initial meeting with Colleen I k...new she was compassionate but also was tough as nails. She always let me feel that she had everything under control and was not fazed at all by the opposing attorney. While the other attorney was pushing for reconciliation, Colleen knew what was best for me. Colleen always returned my texts and would give me detailed responses to my questions. In the end when I was going to settle by giving my ex more than we had initially agreed on Colleen put her foot down and told his attorney we were definitely not. And you know what? They didn’t push it. I’m thrilled with the outcome and couldn’t be happier for hiring Barberis and Barberis. Everyone in the office were very helpful and if you are fortunate to hire Colleen as your attorney you will know you’ve got someone on your side.

Colleen mishandled my case. Many documents were produced with errors. Every time I pointed out errors I got stern emails from her office defending the quality of their work. In every case I would end up getting charged for correcting their errors. She also did not actually perform work she told me sh...e had done. After I got fed up and fired her she ignored my requests for arranging to get my client file back.
