This guy right here is the right choice

I am so happy I called Barry. He went above and beyond for me, while he was sick at home with covid, before I even had officially hired him! Barry is an outstanding guy, and a true defender of the innocent, at least to me. He is worth every penny, and so is his lovely assistant, Denise. This is a st...rong team you can count on to be there for you and to really defend you

Ahlquist

I was referred to Barry from a friend who had used him and was really pleased in his services. After a consulting with Barry I knew we should hire him. He was amazing! Barry kept in good contact with any updates that were happening. He or his Paralegal were always friendly and available. His services... were life changing for my son. Sometimes you find yourself in situation you never thought you would be in an and this was one of them. Hopefully we will never need Barry again but if circumstances happen we would hire him in a minute.

Reliable and an Excellent Lawyer!

I have been struggling with my case for over the years and when I found Barry on the google with all the positive reviews, I thought to give myself a try. Indeed, Barry responded me promptly, and he got on my case instantly. He is very knowledgeable, punctual and reliable Barry and his prof...essional team did amazing job on my case for the last months and today, I am finally a freeman! Thank you for believing in me and giving me a new hope of life. I highly recommend him to anyone and he is worth every penny! Thank you again!!

Trustworthy Attorney

Barry has been in the game long enough to make lifelong clients. As a minor, I had a run in with the Feds on a conspiracy case involving trafficking narcotics cross state. Barry was able to handle my legal problems without my worries. I did not have to face a day in jail but oh it is still lovely t...o get pulled over at the airport each time. Don’t break the law kids! Then comes a decade later an East Coast State Charge involving Trafficking in Marijuana. Barry professionally showed up the day I was taken in by Customs and Border Parrol and aggressively consulted strategies within this extradition case and assured my defense with minimal jail days served. I am pushing 30 now and Barry’s professionalism has helped me change from within.

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!

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.
