Extremely Helpful
My case was Domestic Violence. Ted was very kind. Very patient. Guided me through the steps necessary to take action. He took the time to explain why/what/when. I would refer him to anyone. Put my mind at ease. He is just a great human being. So many thanks to him.

Hands down the BEST
Three years ago I found myself in a situation where I was charged with a DUI. I was embarrassed, scared, and had no idea what to do or who to turn to. At this time, I was also embarking on a new career path and my future practice was in jeopardy if I was to be charged. Confiding in a friend I was ref...

Always Has Your Back
When I got my DUI, I didn't know what to do. I didn't know who to turn to. When I met Ted, I knew I was in good hands. He explained everything thoroughly and answered all my questions, even if things had to be repeated a couple of times. Ted spent a lot of his time getting to know me and helping me f...

Great Lawyer!!!
Ted is very knowledgeable, has a ton of experience with the courts. He was very thorough explaining every detail of my case every step of the way.

"Ted just looks like a criminal defense attorney. He is a great advocate for his clients and takes good care of them. Ted has a gift in communicating and I have learned a great deal in watching him over the years."
"I have known Ted Barr as a fellow criminal lawyer for over 25 years. Ted has proven himself in courtrooms throughout the state and enjoys tremendous respect from his peers, prosecutors and judges. Not only is he a great lawyer, Ted is also one of the most compassionate, caring people I know. I highly recommend him to anyone facing a DUI charge."
"Ted Barr is my go-to attorney when clients or friends need a lawyer to defend them when faced with a DUI arrest or other criminal matter. Ted is simply the best DUI attorney I know. He has always delivered excellent outcomes for those whom I've referred. Ted's lawyering and negotiating skills are superb and he commands respect from both prosecutors and judges before whom he practices. I cannot recommend Ted Barr too highly"
"Ted Barr is one of the finest lawyers I've had the privilege to meet. Principled, dedicated and skilled, I would recommend Ted to anyone. He is also, unquestionably the most stylish attorney in the state."
"I am honored to be able to endorse Ted Barr as an exemplary attorney with an impeccable reputation that is well earned and certainly deserved. The command Ted has in the courtroom comes from years working with prosecutors, judges and clients in a manner exemplifying a model of professionalism. His knowledge of the law is superior and thorough, but it is the way in which Ted conducts himself in his dealing with clients that sets him apart with distinction. I have observed the attention and concern he gives each and every one of his clients; it is extraordinary and a model for other attorneys. The results and resolutions he achieves for his clients are nothing short of miraculous. Ted is a consummate professional at the height of his career who demonstrates an unsurpassed humility and a high degree of integrity. There can be no doubt that he is certainly one of the finest attorneys in the state. Ted receives my highest endorsement, admiration and thanks."
"I've observed Ted's work since about 1989. Over the past 19 years, I've worked under as junior counsel. I've worked with him as co-counsel. I've been in 2 civil cases where he was the opposing counsel. He has also represented clients and acquaintances I've referred to him. I've seen him in just about every role an attorney is called upon to perform, including at settlement conferences, at trial, at arbitration, interacting with stressed clients, challenging opposing counsel, frazzled legal staff, and the sometimes bewildering court workers. Ted is a great lawyer. He cares about his clients and works hard to get them the results they want and need. If you need an advocate, hire this guy."
"Ted Barr consistently utilizes his tremendous people skills to obtain the very best results on behalf of his clients. "
