Best Divorce Attorney

Barry did a great job with my divorce. He was very professional, knowledgeable on so many issues especially the ones that I was concerned with -- finance and the division of real estate. He was a pleasure to work with. I would definitely recommend him.

Horrible attorney

Barry Mack likes to talk about himself and how he was a Commissioner at the Court. It appears he likes to talk about how amazing he is however, this is not the case. He drags his feet with your case and runs up your bill. So that retainer you pay of $5,000.00 is eaten up real quick. He is not aggress...ive with the court and fighting for you.He will even tell your judge, that he wore the same robe many years ago. Very weird. His paralegal staff is non helpful. He let my ex wife run the show who is not an attorney. Don't hire this guy because you will get nowhere and he will drain your bank account and credit cards dry.

Professional Attorney Services

I have been a client of The Mack Law Office for three years now. Having Attorney Barry Mack and Paralegal Dave in my corner supporting me has been an enormous relief. Barry Mack and Dave have been patient, kind and always professional. This is a top notch attorneys office. If you find yourself in a s...ituation where you need an attorney I highly recommend them.

Don't look anywhere else!

I had the honor of being represented by Mr. Mack not too long ago in a very ugly divorce/custody case. I cannot say enough things about him, but just for starters: 1) He's COMPLETELY ethical (which seems to be a rare attribute among many attorneys I've met) 2) He's incredibly smart -- not only in a "...what needs to be done" way, but thinks strategically. 3) He's VERY nice. A no-nonsense, cut-to-the-chase kind of guy, but one who has a heart of gold. 4) He has the experience. YEARS of experience on the bench has provided him a terrific sense of how our legal system works, or not. I can't recommend him highly enough. Barry will get the job done, in the best way possible.

Family lawyer | Jan 29

Relationship: Fellow lawyer in community

"I have known Barry Mack since at least 1986 when he represented my ex-wife in my divorce. Even under those circumstances I came to respect him very highly both personally and professionally. He later went on to become a family law commissioner on the bench for many years where he garnered even more knowledge, experience and perspective. Without a doubt, he is one of the most respected attorneys in Riverside County. I have now practiced Family Law for over 37 years, and with that perspective I can highly recommend him to any person needing assistant in a Family Law matter. He has been opposing counsel in many of my own cases and have always found him to be aggressive, but also honest beyond reproach and always looking out for his client’s best interest. I endorse this lawyer."

Divorce and separation lawyer | Jan 03

Relationship: Opposing Counsel on matter

"I have known Barry Mack for my entire professional life, which began in 1982. We have worked together, I have opposed him on countless cases, and I appeared before him when he was one of our family court commissioners. He is one of the smartest family law attorneys in the Coachella Valley, and a relentless advocate for his clients. I endorse him!"
