Just what we needed. Expert legal advice and a compassionate listening ear.

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.

Couldn’t Be Better: Ethical, Energetic, Knowledgeable

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

Straight Forward Expert Advice

I found Barnett Kalikow to be very straight forward and efficient in his efforts to discover and implement solutions regarding my legal situation. I found this efficiency to be very understandable and a necessary aspect of engaging with a highly experienced attorney. Every minute and dollar counts ...for my business, and indeed for all of us. When I recently asked Mr. Kalikow to review my case, he showed great respect for all the facts I presented, helped me to narrow in on what was most important, and helped me focus on solutions. What I received in return, from Mr. Kalikow, was expert legal advice and actions that put me in a much better legal position, and all for a very reasonable cost in regard to my time and budget. Thank you, and I will continue to consult with Mr. Kalikow regarding future legal concerns.
