Great job, Michael Francis Barret

I highly recommend Michael Barret. I hired Michael to do a QDRO Involving a divorce agreement. He was prompt, responded quickly and was on track every step of the way. The end result was complete, he was within his estimated amount, and he came through for me as I needed with no issues whatsoever.... Nice. Very Nice.

Outstanding Lawyer

Michael handled my bankruptcy with the utmost care and professionalism. He responded to my many questions and concerns quickly, usually on the same day. Throughout the process, Michael kept me up to date and explained what I may expect every step of the way. This started as such a stressful situat...ion, once Michael started working with me, my confidence in moving forward increased dramatically. Early on, I interviewed several lawyers and without a doubt, Michael was by far the most knowledgable, personable, and empathetic. I'm very thankful for his handling of my case.

Detailed and Responsive

Micheal helped us tremendously with our bankruptcy. He was very thorough and when I called or e-mailed, I usually got a response that day or within 24 hours. Even though these are slow times, he kept us informed and helped us get all the information together that we needed. Was cheaper than those big... firms but just as effective. Thank you, Micheal

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.
