Outstanding Lawyer-Highly Recommended!

We literally got SCREWED and taken advantage of by a car dealership. Hawk and his firm reviewed my auto loan contract and paid attention to detail and recommended a course of action to take when we were out of hope. He always got back to us in a timely manner, and fought hard for our rights. He defin...itely under promised in the beginning, and over delivered on the results. I could not have asked for a better out come. We ended up settling w/ the dealership's attorneys earlier this year. Our headache and horrible experience w/ the dealership was definitely rectified, but would not have been possible without his help. I have recommended him to other people to have their contracts reviewed, so they do not get taken advantage of.

Class Action Attorney/Lemon Law

Mr. Barry possesses a brilliant mind and his attention to detail is astounding. He has, repeatedly, handled my case with a clarity of purpose and a dedicated work ethic. He has never failed to deliver prompt answers and/or follow-up to my many questions. Additionally, he has exemplified the "human..." touch to all communications and consistently provided the foundational rationale and understanding for the complexities of the legal process which, thereby, reduced my anxiety and stress regarding my lawsuit. Without equivocation and/or prevarication I would recommend this multi-talented attorney.

Avvo Rating

Our Rating is calculated using information the lawyer has included on their profile in addition to the information we collect from state bar associations and other organizations that license legal professionals. Attorneys who claim their profiles and provide Avvo with more information tend to have a higher rating than those who do not.

What determines Avvo Rating?
  • Experience & background Years licensed, work experience, education
  • Legal community recognition Peer endorsements, associations, awards
  • Legal thought leadership Publications, speaking engagements
  • Discipline Disciplinary information may not be comprehensive, or updated. We recommend that you always check a lawyer's disciplinary status with their respective state bar association before hiring them.
