5 Star Attorney

I can't thank Paige enough for the incredible support and expertise she provided during one of the most challenging times of my life. From the very first consultation, I felt heard, supported, and confident that I was in the right hands.

WORST ATTORNEY EVER. VERY UNPROFESSIONAL AND INCOMPETENT.

I hired Paige to represent me for my divorce. I had horrible experience with her and her staff. They work like they are state or federal employees and they dont have to be polite with their clients. Paige never does her homework before she goes to the court. She will ask you the questions that you sh...ould be asking her. Her paralegal staff is even worse. You will never get your calls answered to returned. Few times I tried to schedule consultation with Paige before I go to the court to discuss the startegy before hand, but never get it scheduled and on the date of my court date she is clueless and start asking questions like she is talking to you first time in her life. Please do not waste your time and money. In the court she is a confused personality. PLEASE DO NOT HIRE HER.

Simply the Best in Kern County!!

Like every one else, i had met with several attorneys & could not make up my mind. I had heard about Paige by several people & then realized my sister uses her. So after having a long conversation with my sister I discovered a close friend of ours was working with her as well. I felt confident this w...as some one I needed to work with. I AM SO GRATEFUL I MADE THAT DECISION!! As busy as she is I am happy she took my case. There are no words that I can use to say what is in my heart right now. Many thanks for all of her support, poise and knowledge of the law and of people's feelings and needs. I didn't really have that much contact with her - which I believe is due to her legal skills - but she made an huge impression on me that softened the stress but most importantly encouraged me to take the next step in what I need to do to move forward. (She is truly an inspiring woman) I am a stronger, optimistic person and confident after working with her and happy that i got to work with her talented staff- that Kelly is a pistol!! Its true she is super busy BUT SHE IS ALWAYS AVAILABLE BY TEXT. (I got her cell phone the day i met her) Yes, you will read a mess of negative reviews from people.. But its probably from people that didn't follow her instructions. I say have a consultation for your self & you decide. But really, i am mostly thankful that she helped me gain what is truly important to me and that is my child, and for fighting to get what is rightfully hers & for her future. At the end of the day its all in what is best for the children involved. Thank you Paige, I am forever in debt with you... I an just glad my EX didn't hire 1st ( i would not have wanted to have been on the other side)

Amazing

I don't know what I would of done without her my x was trying to take away my kids and my business. From the second I met with me she told me what we should do and what would most likely happen. She did exactly what she said and I win custody of my kids and I still have my business. Yes she is bus...y but she gives you her cell phone and tells you she's in court every day so if you need an answer immediately to text her I did and she always responded so if you want the best hell ya they will be busy and expensive but definitely worth it!

A Strong Reliable Choice

Ms. Barns is definitely a solid choice if you are in need of an attorney. She holds a strong, commanding presence, and knows the details of your case and how to defend it. She is respectful and always made me feel that my case was important. I was not a client who blew up her phone but if I ever h...ad a question she was very good to respond. Her staff is also polite and hard working, as an office they are a very effective team. I would recommend Paige Barnes to anyone who wants to know that their case is being handled and that when you show up to court you are going to be ready.
