Barton Michael Pokras

Barton not only led me through the divorce process in a professional and timely manner, he acted as my "armchair psychologist" - allowing me to vent and cry on his shoulder. He and his wife even attended my second wedding, one year later! I also had Barton prepare my Trust, giving me excellent ...advice along the way.

Barton Pokras was, and is, a God send! He was highly professional, remarkably proficient in the law and all its nuances, and persistently resolved in achieving what was equitable with incredibly creativeness, especially in the courtroom. Yet never did I once feel like another revenue client. Mr. Pokr...as called me often just to see how I was doing....on HIS time. His incredible wisdom, patience and counseling regarding my emotions and situation have proved invaluable. And along with his sincere compassion for me as a person, he shattered the perceived mold of a typical lawyer. Although I did not want the divorce, Mr. Pokras kept the painful event to a minimum by finalizing the divorce in 4 1/2 months from the time I retained him. As a skilled mediator, I highly recommend Mr. Pokras to anyone who wants justice to prevail...and a rock to hold on to.

My experience with Barton Pokras started out great and just got better! At the outset, he was able to put me at ease during a very difficult divorce process. His expertise was evident immediately. More importantly, he was an engaged advocate committed to protecting my position throughout a lengthy ne...gotiation with my ex-wife and her counsel. He paid sincere attention to my biggest concerns and never let anything "fall through the cracks." Basically, my wife left me after 22 years of marriage. My greatest fear was that I would have to pay large sums of alimony for a very long time. Miraculously, Barton somehow convinced all concerned that no alimony payments would be appropriate (that's right - zero!) largely on the argument that I was committed to finishing the job of putting ours sons through college in theses difficult economic times. His measured, consistent, calm approach finally won the day and I will forever be grateful. Choosing Barton Pokras as my attorney was one of the best decisions I have ever made! He operates as a true fiduciary for his clients and I am very proud to recommend his services.
