If anybody were able to open up a dictionary and search for the definition of professionalism, don't be surprised to see David Barry's picture right beside it. A marksman within his field of expertise, David was able to pinpoint the target areas within my case to make the transition of a difficult outcome to an easy ride off into the sunset. David's nonchalant approach to hectic scenarios is a quality that every lawyer must have to assure total comfortability amongst their clients

Being the young dumb kid I am, I had gotten into some trouble with the law and had no one to turn to or any idea how I was going to fight this. I met Mr. David Barry on one of my court dates and knew he was the one to help me get out of this mess I created for myself. He was extremely professional and understanding of my situation as well as willing to work with my budget to come up with a payment plan I could afford. No matter what your situation is, Id highly recommend him. Thank you Mr Barry

Mr. Barry objectively and clearly laid out the legal elements and procedure regarding my particular case. I, along with my family, trusted Mr. Barry in representing me and ensuring that my case would be properly resolved in my favor.

Lawyers, nobody wants to have to need one but when you do I would highly recommend David Barry. He held my hand through out the whole process and was always willing to explain things in layman's terms to make sure I understood the process. Great guy with a great firm.

David Barry was able to delineate when he expected my case to be concluded, what litigation to anticipate, surmised what results to predict, and most importantly patiently explain every step of the way. He was kind, courteous, and driven to provide the best service he could to myself as I imagine he does with all his clients.

Lawyers.com Client Reviews

Martindale-Hubbell® Client Review Ratings™ display reviews submitted by individuals who have either hired or consulted the lawyers or law firms.

The Client Review Rating score is determined through the aggregation of validated responses. People who submit reviews are either individuals who consulted with the lawyer/law firm or who hired the lawyer/law firm and want to share their experience of that lawyer or law firm with other potential clients. Reviewers can be anyone who consults or hires a lawyer including in-house counsel, corporate executives, small business owners, and private individuals.

Martindale-Hubbell validates that a reviewer is a person with a valid email address. As part of the review process, respondents must affirm that they have had an initial consultation, are currently a client or have been a client of the lawyer or law firm identified, although Martindale-Hubbell cannot confirm the lawyer/client relationship as it is often confidential. The content of the responses is entirely from reviewers.

Prior results do not guarantee a similar outcome and Martindale-Hubbell accepts no responsibility for the content or accuracy of any review. For more information on Martindale-Hubbell Client Review Ratings, please visit our Client Review Page

Martindale Peer Reviews

Martindale-Hubbell® Peer Review Ratings™ are the gold standard in attorney ratings, and have been for more than a century. These ratings indicate attorneys who are widely respected by their peers for their ethical standards and legal expertise in a specific area of practice.

The Martindale-Hubbell Peer Review Ratings process is the gold standard due to its objectivity and comprehensiveness. Lawyers solicited for peer reviews include both those selected by the attorney being reviewed and lawyers independently selected by Martindale-Hubbell. All reviewers are verified as attorneys through Martindale-Hubbell’s extensive attorney database. Only attorneys practicing at least three years and receiving a sufficient number of reviews from non-affiliated attorneys are eligible to receive a Rating.

What are the different Martindale-Hubbell Peer Review Ratings?*

• AV Preeminent®: The highest peer rating standard. This rating signifies that a large number of the lawyer’s peers rank him or her at the highest level of professional excellence for their legal knowledge, communication skills and ethical standards.

• Distinguished: An excellent rating for a lawyer with some experience. This rating indicates the attorney is widely respected by their peers for high professional achievement and ethical standards.

• Notable: This rating indicates that the lawyer has been recognized by a large number of their peers for strong ethical standards.

Lawyers who have received peer reviews after 2009 will display more detailed information, including practice areas, summary ratings, detailed numeric ratings and written feedback (if available). Details for individual reviews received before 2009 are not displayed.

Attorneys that receive reviews from their peers, but not a sufficient number to establish a Martindale-Hubbell Peer Review Rating, will have those reviews display on our websites.

For more information on Martindale-Hubbell Peer Review Ratings™, please visit our Ratings Page on Martindale.com and our Frequently Asked Questions

Avvo Client Reviews

Ratings and reviews are feedback from people who have either consulted an attorney about an issue (but may not have hired the attorney) or people who hired an attorney as a current or former client and provided their feedback to our sister site, Avvo.com.
