Excellent!!!

I used Barbara for estate planning for my parents. She was articulate in helping us understand some complex issues we were dealing with. She explained the options, the pros/cons and helped us make the right decision for us. She provided high-level guidance on what would get done when, and through the... process everything was completed as expected. Best yet: When I later thought I might need to hire her for some additional work, she said that it would be simple for me to file some paperwork myself. She spent a few minutes explaining just what I needed to do and she wished my on my merry way. I trust Barbara fully both in legal competence but also personal character.

Barbara West is the best!

Barbara West is the first lawyer I've met who actually returns my calls within the same day. She is confident, knows the law, and has been incredible to work with. My estate case was very complicated and with our previous lawyer, had gone on for 3 years without any resolution. Once we hired Barbar...a, she changed our lives and finally unraveled all the legal issues and brought a swift resolution -- if only we had met her earlier. I can't reccommend her highly enough.

Our Rating is calculated using information the lawyer has included on their profile in addition to the information we collect from state bar associations and other organizations that license legal professionals. Attorneys who claim their profiles and provide Avvo with more information tend to have a higher rating than those who do not.

  • 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.
