Barbara helped my family with several matters pertaining to real estate law. What felt like scary legal matters at first was made manageable when working with Barbara. She has been so helpful in clarifying what we needed to do, prompt in dealing with other lawyers, and knowledgeable and caring in all her dealings with us. I felt at ease knowing she is taking care of our legal matters. I recommend Barbara whole heartedly as someone who is not only professional but genuinly care about her clients.
Barb handled three separate cases for me over the last several years. She was able to deal with complex and demanding issues to untangle my sister's estate, as well as separate real estate matters for me and for my nephew. She was always professional and economical, and maintained the highest level of ethics!! Barb is honest about her strengths and will refer clients to other attorneys for matters outside her areas of expertise. I would turn to her or recommend her without hesitation.
Barbara has been an invaluable resource and partner who has helped lead me through what seemed to be an uncrossable minefield of issues related to a piece of property affected by an unresolved divorce agreement. Her knowledge, clarity, compassion, and willingness to accompany me every step of the way through the 'trenches' are the only reason the situation has now been resolved. Highly recommend is not strong enough -- let Barbara walk with you through your difficult situation to the other side.
