Barry Fred Hammond

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

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.

I was recommended to Mr. Hammond by the San Fernando Bar Association. I was accused of stealing from work. I was fired and arrested at the same time, I later found out once I had got out of jail that my employer was accusing me of stealing an excess amount of what I could of possibility of stolen! He... was lying and trying to get my charges from a misdemeanor to a felony. I was terrified and did not know what to do. Long came recommended Barry and he took care of all my problems. He worked with the detective on my case, the district attorney and the owner of the company I worked for and solved everything! We later came with a reasonable amount of missing items and settled everything out of court. I never got charged with a felony and never even went to court! My case was dropped and I am now employed somewhere else. All I can say is thank you, thank you, thank you. I can honestly say I have never been more relieved in my life.
