This review is from a person who hired this attorney.

feeling scammed

November 18, 2024 I regret ever hiring Barbara L. Franklin. I paid her for legal services, but she failed to deliver any meaningful results. Despite repeated follow-ups, she didn’t complete the tasks she promised, such as drafting a basic letter or addressing my concerns. After months of frustration..., I discovered that Barbara had a conflict of interest she never disclosed. Now, Barbara is contacting me, demanding that I remove my honest review while refusing to refund the money I paid her for services she never performed. I believe clients deserve transparency and accountability, and I hope others think twice before hiring her.

Great advisor

Barbera's advice was clear and straight to the point. If she practiced in Oahu I would definitely retain her as my counsel.

Barbara Frankllin/Honokaa Attorney

To Whom It May Concern: I have worked with Barbara on a couple of separate legal matters here in Hawaii. One involved questions pertaining to a proposed Real Estate Partnership, and the second revolved around a pending Mortgage Restructuring. I found her straight-forward approach to both matters q...uite helpful. She has extensive background experience not only with respect to Real Estate, but also Bankruptcy. My highest recommendation.

Referral for Barbara Lee Franklin Attorney for a Chapter 12 reorganization for Farmers , Ranchers and Fishermen

We would like to recommend and refer anyone who is in need in the Islands of Hawaii to Barbara Lee Franklin. We found her to be completely upfront and to the point on all points of our Chapter 12 on the Island of Hawaii. As a farmer we had no where to turn and she was recommended to us as the only o...ne that understands the complexity of the Chapter 12 which is made specifically for our farming business going into bankruptcy. You will find her and staff's attention to detail and follow through exceptional. There is a lot of work involved in this type of bankruptcy and they stayed and walked us through every detail. They assisted us in many ways to understand the process and the way the law reads to assist us. We would like to add that she is from what we know the only one in Hawaii to make it through the courts in the Chapter 12, you will find her professional , considerate and very Trustworthy. We would recommend Barbara for anyone that needs a good reliable attorney.
