Extremely personable and helpful

I called Barry for a consult on an appeal matter. He spent way more time with me than the scheduled allotment for the consult and answered all my questions. Thank you, Barry.

Better call Barry

If you’re looking g for effective communication , prompt responses, and efficiency, Barry and his team is for you. He controls what’s in his control and guides you through when your situation may appear helpless. His knowledge and experience was a blessing for me and my family. Highly recommended.

Barry’s eff

Excellence in communication, efficiency and cohesive collaboration. The efficiency that Barry’s team brought allowed my case to be dropped before it even began. Barry’s team cohesively communicated and collaborated with all parties so to navigate the legal conflict with minimal stress for everyone in...volved - but particularly alleviating for me. Barry is truly an excellent communicator and informed me of all legal rules, consequences, etc so I could feel fully prepared and protected regardless of how given circumstances transpired. His team handled everything start to finish and laid it out properly for myself and the prosecutor. On a personal level, Barry was caring and respectful just as on a professional level, he exceeded expectations and beyond.

Serenity

I contacted Barry over what I considered a wrongful arrest. I am active military and could have faced real issues if the arrest stuck and my clearance was pulled. After a 10 minute conversation with Barry I immediately felt confident that my case would be dropped. He was able to have all charges drop...ped prior to my court date. I’m thankful that I came across this outstanding vet and lawyer.

The best of the best

Mr Sooalo was very professional and honest about pricing, and what outcome he would get from the case. Thanks to him my case was dropped and my record cleared. Thank you Barry!
