Several years ago we found ourselves needing an attorney for a very complicated and strange case. Not knowing who to hire to represent us, I went to court and spent a day watching acouple dozen lawyers in action. It was really disheartening watching incompetent lawyer after incompetent lawyer losing ...cases for their clients. They were obviously bored, unprepared and some were so out of it, I wondered if they even knew who their clients were, and what they were supposed to be defending them for. After many hours of this, suddenly a case came up, and this gal bounded to the front of the courtroom and it was a Perry Mason moment. She was sharp, attractive, articulate, well prepared, enthusiastic, convincing and cordial. The judge was a dope, and appeared to be ready to lower the boom on her client, but she fought like a tiger. She turned the whole situation around, everybody in the courtroom was suddenly awake and hanging on her every word. (I'm sure all the accused in the courtroom were wishing she was their attorney!) She finally wrestled victory out of the jaws of defeat and won. As she came back down the aisle, I and several other people asked for her business card. Am I glad I did! We ended up hiring her, and she was fabulous. I can't recommend her highly enough. She is what every lawyer should be. When she steps in front of the judge, she is there to WIN. She does her homework and thoroughly prepares her cases. Thank you Barbara, you're the greatest!

Barbara is one of the worst attorneys is Washington State. She forgot who I was, didn't show for court and when she did she was always late. I hear her tell another attorney that you cannot make money by going to trial. Later she convinced me not go to trial because she believed I could not win. ...I wish I never took her advice. It will be a decision that I regret for the rest of my life. I have no good things to say about her other that she is a cheap inexpensive attorney. I would have been better off with a public defender.
