Review Bradley Barshis

Ciminal Defense Awesome Attorney

Posted by

My wife was accused of a DUI. Brad took the time to explain the legal dense strategy in which driving under the influence could not happen if not driving. He did an extensive undertaking of all the facts related to the case and went the extra mile of consulting us of the process and what to expect. He methodically prepared himself for trial as well as preparing both my wife and I for the upcoming litigation's. Brads well planned defense illustrated a total lack of evidence against my wife's accusations and was instrumental in a highly biased Judicial Court of Law. Brads magnificent painting of the true events that occurred. His supporting facts and the discredit of the little evidence of the prosecution that was available lead to a trial by jury being dismissed altogether. If it was not for the professionalism, dedication and attention to detail, the trial may have gone extremely poorly for my wife and or plea bargaining would have clearly not been in her best interest. Other attorneys should follow the same ethics and professional approach for their clients as Brad continues to lead the way! Job well DONE! I can not express enough gratitude for the assistance of a truly great attorney and a member of such an upstanding Law Firm (Newton and Hall). Not only where they willing to take on the case, but they were willing to go the extra mile financially working with us. While we have been experiencing some really difficult financial times. Another instrumental fact that distinguishes really good legal firms from all the rest. The fact that they truly care about their clients!

Working with Brad was one of the best decisions I have ever made. My needs were put first, and I was treated as a friend rather than a number. His strong network and depth of knowledge will pay dividends as he negotiates with the prosecution team to get you the best possible outcome. He is a fighter and will leave everything on the table to keep your life moving forward. It was a privilege working with Brad, and, thankfully, my career was not ruined by one poor decision. Rest assured – he is the real deal, and you will get what you pay for, no doubt about it.

Bradley fought for me when I was wrongfully charged in a domestic violence situation that was the result of a nasty divorce. Although it was a long process in the end Bradley was able to get my case dismissed. Thank you.

Outstanding Attorney!!!

I highly recommend Brad Barshis. He successfully handled my case with professionalism, legal expertise, and attention to detail. I sought out Brad's counsel in handling an anti-harassment order against an ex-partner who was continuing to disrupt me at my places of work and intimidate me within my community. I had an abundance of evidence, and I needed help moving forward. Brad took the time to not only listen to me but to thoroughly review the materials I presented. It was clear that he cared about me not only as a client, but as a human being. Brad continued to stay in contact with me throughout the legal process. He worked with my busy schedule and gave me honest input. When it finally came time for our hearing, Brad's talents as an attorney shined. He was prepared, very well spoken, and he kept my self and my witnesses informed and at ease. Brad navigated the courtroom with a professional grace. He was not only able to ethically prove our argument but he was able to catch the respondent pleading false narrative. I am extremely grateful for Brad’s guidance and representation. If you are in need of not only a good attorney, but one of the best, look no further. Brad gets the job done!

Great attorney

We all win and lose.. this is what life is... unfortunately, my case for protection order against my daughter was a lose.. Brad surely spent all the time he needed to come in the courtroom ready to fight.. Very assuring, very friendly, very patient, specially when my mom was reacting more emotionally than I was. Brad did what I would do and more than the average lawyer... He took time also to make sure I understood the possible outcomes of what my case was... Honest and caring... Thanks brad. I appreciate ur hard work. And keeping me out of prison for something I did not do... Jackson

professional caring attorney

Mr. Barshis and his office were very professional yet took the time to explain the traffic court process and stayed in touch till resolved . I first sought free advice on Avvo after my son got two tickets for driving over a handicap ramp to park on the lawn of a local park. That's $50 for lawn and $275 for ramp. Since he was only 17 with his ricer car you can imagine our future insurance cost. (I was freaked out cause I have never been even pulled over and my husband would flip out - world war 3) So the free advice said to better get attorney. So the best thing we did was let Mr. Barshis and his fabulous staff help a nervous Nelly mother get thru a crisis by calmly explaining what they could do and what we had to do. So for a reasonable fee (yeah my broke son paid half) the tickets went thru court and Mr. Barshis gave me glorious news -the parking on lawn reduced to $25 and the worst one was totally dismissed. He was such a pro yet also you felt they cared about us to. I would recommend their office hands down. Thanks Avvo.

Hired him for a speeding ticket. Was able to answer all my questions promptly and worked with me despite financial/payment issues. He was very friendly and patient. He also was able to get my speeding ticket dismissed. Would hire again and recommend to others.

Very helpful

I hired Mr. Barshis to handle a speeding ticket for me. He took the time to answer all of my questions and was very thorough. He got my ticket dismissed without me even having to go to court. I will definitely hire him for future tickets, and will recommend him to others.

Thanks for the help!

When I was arrested for DUI, I only expected the worst to happen. I contact James Newton, Attorney at Law in need of some serious help. Bradley was my assigned attorney. Even with the high breathalyzer results, he still managed to win my DOL hearing, and plead me to a Negligent Driving charge. I don't know what I would have done without him. He was assuring the entire time, even taking the time to call me back after hours sometimes. If my sister got a DUI, I would make sure she chose Brad as her attorney.

Brad has always been a witty, sharp individual. We grew up together, and he was always at the top of our classes.

He's simply one of the best.
