Barbara was recommended to me because of her superior skills as a lawyer. She was extremely professional and kept me focused on the business of the case as opposed to getting emotionally distracted. This also carried through to her excellent support staff. My case had a satisfying and fair outcome.... As a bonus, I found her to be a decent, compassionate human being. It is an honor to be able to refer her to others in need of legal help.

No nonsense, no drama, responsive and a total professional. I am so thankful that I found Ms. May. She carried me through the mess of my divorce and I would recommend her highly to anyone needing legal assistance. She is very personable, highly experienced in the family law field and kept me on po...int and budget. My divorce had some drama, parenting plan issues, prior to marriage $$ issues, and my ex tried to take me for everything. I told Barbara what I wanted when my settlement was ultimately finalized and she made it all happen for me. She also did most of the worrying for me which allowed me to keep my stress levels low. Hands down one of the best lawyers in town.

Barbara May changed my life. As a young mother in a bitter and terrifying custody battle and victim in a domestic violence case, Ms. May guided me throughout the process; she leaves no detail behind and in my experience is always two steps ahead of other attorneys. Her knowledge of family law is ext...ensive and her execution of it outstanding. I attribute a great amount of happiness in both mine and my daughter's life to the outstanding law practice of Barbara May. I don't know who I could trust as much as Barbara May with such delicate aspects of my life. Five years later, she is still my attorney and will remain so until I no longer need legal services.

Barbara J. May and her associate, Amy E. Spiering are professional, knowledgeable and compassionate divorce and family law attorneys. My experience with the firm has been broad across the areas of family law and divorce/separation. During the course of my separation a restraining order based on fals...e accusations was issued against me by my spouse. Since we have a daughter that we both love very much, I found myself facing an emergency situation and my relationship with my daughter in jeopardy. I needed help! After consulting several people I knew I needed an experienced Family Law Attorney to come to my defense. Upon meeting Ms. Spiering and Ms. May I was immediately relieved and impressed with their level of professionalism and knowledge of family law, restraining orders, divorce, and child custody issues. Barbara J. May quickly prepared and filed a legal response to the allegations, represented me in court, and successfully got the court to deny the restraining order and requests for restrictive visitation with my daughter. While everyone’s case is different, I felt that Barbara and Amy really listened to my concerns and helped me to understand my options. In court, I found Barbara to provide effective, and when appropriate, aggressive representation, while always maintaining a professional demeanor. Her knowledge of court proceedings, processes, and key personnel proved invaluable in preparing my defense and addressing my concerns. Beyond the professionalism, both Barbara and Amy have made me feel comfortable and at ease when discussing my case and requesting sound legal advice. Barbara J. May continues to represent me through my divorce and child custody process. I highly recommend them!

Barbara was an amazing lawyer. I came to her with a huge problem and she helped me get through it and come out on top. This was my situation my daughters mom picked up my daughter for visitation and filed custody papers and wouldn't let me pick up my daughter or see her. I felt like I was going to lo...se my daughter especially because I live all the way in Southern California and I didn't know how the law worked for custody in Northern California. I called Barbara and told her my situation she put together my case in two days and she did it for a great price. I ended up getting full custody of my daughter and I couldn't have been happier with Barbara's work
