Always my first choice

Barry helped me defend false accusations and a restraining order. He took my case at the last minute and was still fully prepared in court. He is always just a phone call away. I fully recommend him to anyone seeking representation!

Just when you feel defeated, Barry has your back

I unfortunately made a mistake that resulted in quite a few consequences, as one night I drove under the influence. My case could've gone a few ways based off a past situation, but Barry overcame the odds and I ended up with the best and most ideal scenario. His hard work, and expertise allowed me to... keep my job and follow the path I did for the last year in which I learned a lot from my mistake and I can now put it behind me. Had it gone another way, I'm not sure how things would've ended up. The whole office is great. They are knowledgable, kind and supportive. Would recommend them to anyone!

Provides good guidance and advice and makes effective presentation to the Court.

Mr. Engle has represented me on a DUI matter. The laws pertaining to this matter have gone through some recent changes and he educated me on how these changes impacted my case, and how they might be most useful in presenting my defense. He discussed strategies with me, made recommendations to me and... presented my case to the Court . I was impressed how he found problems with the prosecution's case, and pointed them out to the Court. He took the time to prepare me for the upcoming proceeding and guided me through it. He always returned my calls promptly and seemed genuinely concerned about my welfare.

Trusted Attorney

I've known Barry for a number of years and when my daughter got into some trouble with the law he was the first one I called. Barry did a great job of explaining all the aspects of the case, where there might be sticking points and what the probable outcomes would be. We discussed the strategy of... the case and what options my daughter had available to her and how best to proceed. He was always available when we had any questions and arrived prior to the hearing so we could ask any last minute questions and prepare us for the hearing. Barry did an excellent job and I would certainly use him again if the need arose.
