Honest, prompt and great with communication

Barry was so responsive and I could not have had an attorney who communicated with me any better. He always kept in contact with me and kept me updated with my case. He got everything done immediately and always kept his word. I had a free consoltation over the phone with him and from the start h...e assured me he would not settle for anything less than what we discussed and he kept his word and that’s exactly the outcome I got. I decided to call Barry after reading the reviews on a few different websites and saw what good ratings he had. Hiring Barry was one of the best decisions I made and it saved my record.

Lawyer Reveiw

Barry is very knowledgable in what he does. For me he told me from the beginning on what to expect and what my options are. He advises the best options and was very confident in doing what he would say for me from the beginning. He is very passionate about his job and his clients. I was informed all ...the way through of what was to come and how to prepare. I recommend Barry Sooalo in any case!

Client

Barry is reliable, confident and down to earth. Best thing about him is that he is very prompt in his work. Just one phone call and things were already getting situated with my case. Didn’t have to wait too long to get results. Im glad i went to him and not anyone else. Even when im now living in the... mainland, Hes out there in hawaii taking care of things for me. Hes someone you can trust. I’ll know who to call for future references. I would highly recommend him to all of my friends and family back home in Hawaii.

Barry took me on as a Court appointed attorney for some traffic issues I had. It turned into several felonies. Barry saved my ass. I was looking at 10yrs and Barry got me Hope probation and time served plus a little more. Now I'm looking at a big case and he's kicking ass. Someone you want on your si...de.

Attorney Barry so'oalo

Barry is the best lawyer.because he got me free from a charge which wasn't even done by me but by someone else that is probably still out there robbing people.he has battled for me because he believed in me that I was 200 percent innocent. I would and still only have Barry so'Oalo represent me in cou...rt.

What determines Avvo Rating?
  • Experience & background Years licensed, work experience, education
  • Legal community recognition Peer endorsements, associations, awards
  • Legal thought leadership Publications, speaking engagements
  • Discipline Disciplinary information may not be comprehensive, or updated. We recommend that you always check a lawyer's disciplinary status with their respective state bar association before hiring them.
