Lawyer from Heaven

First let me start by saying this website is little off. This is NOT Barbara Ann Fritz picture or phone number. Address is correct. Not sure where the email goes. With that said, I used Barbara Fritz for my divorce. My divorce was a little complicated (not that any are easy) But without Barbara it w...ould have been a thousand percent worse. She was my rock. She is smart, and most important is respected by Judges and other attorneys. You have no idea how important that is. End of the day the system all works together. She also helped keep me sane. It is painful enough without having lawyers rape you for money. Best statement I can say is my ex wife recommends HER to all her friends. I don't know what would have happened if not for her. Only con I can say she is little hard to get on phone, but she does know when it is important and that is what counts. I have sent a few friends over the years to her and she did a great job for all of them. Not many people can say they love their lawyer, but I say it. She saved me.

She is the best if you want to stay sane

Yea I seen the other review here, she was my lawyer in a really nasty divorce and custody case. My case went on for 2 years, without her it would have be 4 years or more, yes she treats you like a mother but when your life is upside down you need someone to keep you in check. I read the review here, ...trust me I understand but just by reading the review I can see that person is in hell. Not the lawyers fault. Being a client is already frustrating and you tend to think the world should revolved around you. Trust me there are thousands in the same boat. you are not special. It's a job for her, need to tell yourself that, she is not being hired to make you feel good, although that is what you want. She tells it like it is. You can pay a lot more if you want endless meetings and billings that are meaningless. She is really a good lawyer and is respected as the no bullshit person. So they all listen.
