Barnett N. Kalikow

As I was explaining the situation to this guy he spoke over me cut me off and proceeded to tell me what he doesn't does not cover which he could have led off with that instead of asking me to explain what was going on at the end of his rant he said best of luck have a good day and hung up. Extrem...ely unprofessional I couldn't even get a consult or get a question answered or anything from this guy. I would not recommend his services to anybody!!

I had a landlord who was trying to evict us illegally. Barnett not only made us fell comfortable throughout the process, he also got us the outcome we had hoped for. Even when we were wavering and worried, his confidence and legal expertise were a guiding light for us and they were the reason we... got the outcome we got. If your looking for an attorney that has the expertise, but acts in a moral and ethical manner, Barnett is your man.

I was very impressed with Barnett Kalikow's knowledge and assistance when needing to consult an attorney on a pressing legal situation. His wisdom and compassion for our situation was exactly what we needed, and his expertise to understand how to get us to the expert support we needed was outstandin...g. After the consultation I felt as if a weight had been lifted off my shoulders, and I now have the clarity with which to face our legal challenges. His professional and expert counsel was invaluable. I can easily recommend his services to anyone seeking legal advice in times of need.

After almost 2 years and about $1800, all I got was a 3 page letter to my HOA. Supposedly he sent it and had dealings with them and their attorney. However, when I left him (since he never had time to get back and follow up with me), I requested all info that he had in his file so I could pass alo...ng that info to my new lawyer. I got absolutely nothing from him. I never even got a detailed billing for hours spent on what dates, start and end times, where time was spent, etc. And a retired Law Enforcement Officer, I've had dealing with attorneys for many many years. Mr Kalikow is a nice person but I was very disappointed in his ability (or inability) as a lawyer. Perhaps my case wasn't big enough for him to require a lot of his attention but I was expecting a lot more than I ever got. For all I know, he wrote a 3 page letter and never mailed it to HOA nor had any dealing with them as he has ever given me any info to prove they got a letter. I wish him good luck but as far as a recommendation, sorry but I'd suggest perhaps you look elsewhere. And if he responds to this review, I'd bet he will try and explain away everything as being a mistake or my fault (somehow) but I doubt he will take responsibility for his poor performance on my case.

I have consulted with Barnett on several legal matters. He is the best listener I know, and is able to analyze and sum up very complicated situations very quickly. He is everything one would want in a lawyer: reasonable, thorough, and persuasive. He knows the law and is able to present the specifics ...of a matter very convincingly. I read the anonymous reviewer (below) who called him "dismissive" and it made me mad. I am NOT anonymous- I am Lyn, and I would be happy to recommend Barnett. He has helped me navigate the complexities of the legal system and has never failed to come through for me
