Barbara is a Godsend!

Barbara was amazing, not only with me, but with my son, who she was appointed minors counsel for. My ex filed for full custody after I requested child support, and though I knew what was best for my son, I was very wary of the OC Family court system. Barbara calmed my nerves and knew things without m...e even having to say them. She has seen it all, and truly cares about what is in the best interest of the child. Thank you Barbara, I can finally have peace and sleep at night knowing that my son is protected and safe!

Barbara Fritz is an Attorney of Power, Strength and Knowledge

I hired Barbara Fritz every time my ex-husband filed court papers to modify his support obligation. Going to Court is very stressful, yet Barbara Fritz always made me feel safe. Barbara Fritz was always prepared and knowledgable about my case and fought hard for me and my children. Every time we wen...t in front of a Judge, Barbara Fritz fought hard and each time we left the courtroom I had received an increase in support. Barbara Fritz is respected in the community and amongst her peers. Barbara always tries to settle her cases outside the courtroom. Barbara Fritz is by far one of the best mediator's out there. She makes both parties feel important and helps guide them to a resolution that is best for the parties and their children. What a true blessing Barbara Fritz is.
