I called the office of Barbara May to inquire about a one time consultation. The secretary was incredibly rude. The whole conversation was infuriating. The secretary told me «  let’s see first if you can afford our fees before anything. Then she told me we don’t have time for people like you who just... seek advices » I was chocked. They charge 375 dollars for the first appointement and ask for $4000 before you even meet with them. They say they don’t have time to give people consultation, you have to choose them as long term attorney or they won’t give any advices on any matter. Where is humanity and kindness in all this? I never met Barbara but I know one thing her secretary sabotaged her work by being so hostile.

Barbara handled the litigation for my contested divorce that involved a lengthy, emotional custody battle. I had no understanding at the time how lucky I was to chance on her and her daughter Amy as my counsel. They even fought for my rights as a military spouse when I didn’t even know what those rig...hts were. I can’t say enough how grateful I am for their professional and practical support. I don’t know where I’d be financially without them. And yes, we won.

Barbara I do not know how I would have gotten thru this divorce without your understanding and expertise. You were very professional at all times and had a way of dealing with his attorney respectfully, but forcefully, and presenting only the facts and standing firm. I was enraged they could throw... out erroneous statements but bottom line, you took them to task and we ended up with the original agreement you and I had worked out from the beginning. I have all the respect in the world for you. Your are of very high moral and ethical standing and I would highly recommend you to anyone looking for a divorce attorney, If I had to do it again, you are the one I would be coming too. Thank you again for helping me get my life back.

I approached Barbara May at the recommendation of another family law attorney to guide me in filing a petition for guardianship that I knew would be contested and fraught with emotion. Barbara and her staff exhibited such care and professionalism in handling our case; they calmed my nerves, met all ...the deadlines, and performed optimally in court. In sum, I felt I made an excellent decision in hiring Barbara and I'd recommend her firm to anyone needing legal advice for family matters.

Let me suffice it to say, as an attorney, Barbara May is without peer. I came to her completely overwhelmed by the divorce process. As with many, I was confused, lost and emotionally distressed. Things were explained in a clear and concise manner, options outlined and questions patiently answe...red. I was kept well informed and all my queries were responded to in a timely fashion. She is an excellent communicator and talks to you as an equal, not a subordinate. I appreciated her compassion and utter dedication to resolving every aspect pertaining to my divorce. Her preparation and skill as a lawyer resulted in my being able to save my house by protecting the inherited funds that had been invested into it. She is also supported by an excellent team, all of whom are highly approachable and exceptional in their abilities. I give the law firm of Barbara May my highest recommendation.
