The Best in her field. Period....I can't emphasize this enough
I just wanted to take a moment to not only post my highest recommendation for Barbara, but also thank her. When I first started looking for representation, my instinct was to search online. I went to a few interviews with other attorneys , but I didn't feel like they understood the complexities and severity of what I had gone through. They all wanted to take my case, but I felt like a number...as though it was all just dollar signs to them.
Finally after much effort and frustration, I asked one of my attorney friends who he thought was the best in the industry. Right away, he arranged a phone consultation with Barbara. After our initial conversation, she made time to meet with me as soon as possible.
She understood the minute intricacies of what I experienced immediately. It was a very difficult/ painful issue to talk about, and Barbara made me feel welcome and understood. She not only is an absolute master in her field, but she is very astute and empathetic as well. From there, Barbara & her protege Emily Stehr ( brilliant rising star), took care of every detail. They produced and amazing outcome while at the same time caring for my discretion. I can't recommend these ladies enough. Barbara and Emily are the best, and I'm so thankful that I found them:):):)
....On a side note, I really appreciated how Barbara took such meticulous care and attention to mentoring the next generation to follow her. Emily is clearly going to be a leader in her field, just like Barbara:):)
My personal experience dealing with Barbara office was more than pleasant. Our firm has several issue to fix. And during her consultation she explained us all needed problems. Thanks Barbara
