A true gentleman and knowledgeable attorney

Mr Barreau is a fine man and an excellent attorney. He exceeded both mine and my mothers expectations. He is professional and caring, he went as far as to bring himself and his team to my elderly mothers home to make the legal process easy on her. I would refer anyone that needs legal help to him.

Great experience with Estate Planning

I had the pleasure of working with Jamy Barreau for my estate plan, and I couldn’t be more impressed with the experience. From the very beginning, he made what could have been a complicated and overwhelming process incredibly simple and straightforward. Jamy took the time to explain each step in deta...il, ensuring I fully understood my options. He was patient, thorough, and professional, answering all my questions with clarity and confidence. I felt truly supported throughout the entire process. I highly recommend Jamy Barreau to anyone in need of estate planning services – you’ll be in excellent hands!

Avvo Rating

Our Rating is calculated using information the lawyer has included on their profile in addition to the information we collect from state bar associations and other organizations that license legal professionals. Attorneys who claim their profiles and provide Avvo with more information tend to have a higher rating than those who do not.

What determines Avvo Rating?
  • Experience & background Years licensed, work experience, education
  • Legal community recognition Peer endorsements, associations, awards
  • Legal thought leadership Publications, speaking engagements
  • Discipline Disciplinary information may not be comprehensive, or updated. We recommend that you always check a lawyer's disciplinary status with their respective state bar association before hiring them.
