Honest and Effective Attorney you can rely on.

I cannot thank my attorney Barry Hammond enough for the outstanding job he did in handling my case. He went above and beyond by speaking to the city attorney and prosecutor on my behalf. As a result my case was settled in a diversion agreement. Barry’s expertise, professionalism, and dedication to my... case were truly impressive. I highly recommend him to anyone in need of legal representation. Thank you for everything!

Wost Shystie lies to his clients

This man took my money push my case through Covid to the point. The judge was so mad that I had to suffer the consequences. He kept asking for money every time he got money he would not even return my phone calls. This case has been gone since 2020 and now he’s asking for more money, anybody know mor...e about this man just some

Barry Hammond WORST ATTORNEY ON EARTH!!!!!

He was a BAR/Smart Law referral after having the 2nd worst Lawyer Melinda C. Romines who is suspended for 2 years at this moment. I borrowed the $2,500.00 deposit from my older brother to retain his services. As soon as I gave him that retainer fee he refused to meet with me until I paid him the othe...r $2,500 totaling $5,000 for him to do basically nothing he still didn't meet with me and go over the evidence in my case, no game plan he only offered me unanswered emails text messages and voicemails and stress until I had no choice but to fire him. The only time he responded to an email was the one I sent him when I told him he was fired but he still showed up in court and tried to convince me not to fire him trying to convince the judge not to let me fire him and then we came time to transfer my documents and paperwork he made copies of copies of copies of copies until the papers were too dark and blurry to read, you couldn't read it at all.

Promises Everything. Actually Does NOTHING

This attorney has only spoken to myself in pursuit of money and more money. I have caught him in numerous lies. He is the rudest person (so rude that other persons in court halls told me to fire him). He has never, not once, returned a text, email or Phone call. You do not need an attorney for a DU...I. What a waste if money. Its a mandatory sentence. Whether you go alone or with any attorney. Sentence us the same. If I would have known ge was a DUI. attorney. I am sick. He has taken all of my money and not done a single thing. There is no worse attorney, than a rude attorney who cares nothing for you except how much money he can get. I am appealing to the California State Bar Association. Thank God, many other attorneys and family have seen his behavior and decided it is the worst of the worst. I will get all monies refunded for the new attorney.
