After reaching out to several DUI attorneys, we ultimately chose Mr. Barone — and we’re so glad we did. I had a lot at stake: I’m currently serving an apprenticeship and would lose my job (and future career) if I lost my licenses. We knew this case wouldn’t be easy and needed someone who would go above and beyond — not just “check the box.” As impressive as his credentials are, they don’t begin to capture how skillful and strategic he truly is. Mr. Barone was honest from the start, explaining that my case would be challenging, but he gave us confidence that we were in the best possible hands. Through his deep understanding of both the law and toxicology — drawing from his background in biology and forensic science — Mr. Barone identified multiple errors with how my bloodwork was handled. Ultimately, my DUI charge has been amended and I am able to keep my license and job. Mr. Barone exceeded every expectation!
Mr. Barone was very helpful with my case, and explained the whole process as it advanced . He is very knowledgeable and compassionate. Explained all my options and was very good at responding when I had questions and concerns.
I was looking for the best in the field for my case and I believe I found it. He was very knowledgeable and guided me along the way. He understands just about every part of the process and explains it throughly. I would not have chosen any other.
Working with Patrick Barone was an exceptional experience. He took the time to explain to us each step of the process. His explanations were precise and easy to understand. We have never been through this experience and he helped to calm our fears and the outcome was absolutely the best we could hope for.
Not only did Mr. Barone obtain a rare and unusual plea deal that preserved my professional employment status, he also mitigated nearly all of the collateral damage that was more concerning to me than the criminal penalties. While he clearly met his goals of strong advocacy, responsive communication, clear guidance, and genuine support, I found his honesty with my expectations and candor with his recommendations even more valuable.
I am incredibly grateful for the exceptional service provided by Mr. Barone in handling my case. From the outset, Mr. Barone demonstrated a level of dedication and diligence that far exceeded my expectations. He took the time to thoroughly understand every detail of my case, and his approach was both strategic and compassionate. Mr. Barone was unwavering in his commitment, meticulously preparing each element and exploring all possible avenues to secure the best outcome. His communication was exceptional—he kept me informed at every stage, patiently addressing all my questions and concerns. Thanks to Mr. Barone’s expertise and relentless advocacy, I felt reassured and confident throughout the entire process. I wholeheartedly recommend Mr. Barone to anyone in need of a truly dedicated and skilled lawyer.
My attorney saved my life! Faced with multiple counts, I was lookng at possible 20+ year sentence. That, plus my poor health, guaranteed I might never see the light of day again. My first impressions of Mr Barone were of confidence, compassion and experience. Shortly, Mr Barone had prepared a defensive battle plan for my case. He presented it to me without sugar coating or outrageous promises. He explained his plan and warned me that I would need to be involved. Mr Barone and his staff ensured I was kept up to date on the court proceedings throughout the case. He also explained any and all questions that I or my family members had about the case. He is a very personable man and easy to talk to. To my advantage Patrick did not take no for an answer when dealing/ bargaining with the Prosecuting Attorney. He thought I should not be incarcerated, and that is exactly what he fought and won for me. I truly believe he negotiated a second life for me and I will be forever grateful
Patrick came with the highest possible recommendation - a friend of the family DUI lawyer recommended me to another lawyer that "wrote the book on Mich DUI law". This "recommended lawyer" told me personally that if he had gotten a DUI on the east side of the state, he would hire Patrick Barone, and that "Patrick's probably the best DUI lawyer in the state". I don't know if you can get a higher recommendation than that. What pleasantly surprised me about Patrick is his character - additional to his superior competencies, wealth of knowledge, and experience- I felt his character best represented me personally. He's not some sleazy lawyer or your "better call Saul". Patrick is the legit legal consultant that you need if you are not messing around. No games, no bs. There's only so much that can be done with a DUI, and you need 100% confidence - I do not regret paying a premium and hiring Patrick. I am confident I recieved the best, most thorough legal advice possible. Retain him - be 100%
I have hired many attorney's in my life mostly pertaining to my businesses however for the first time I found myself on the end of a lawsuit pertaining to my oldest son at the time was 16. The accusations were of a sexual offense nature and I was lead to Patrick through a mutual friend. From the moment I met with Patrick to the moment we won the case and it was dismissed, I cannot begin to express the gratitude and professionalism that was extended to our family through the process. Patrick knew the case was very very sensitive and was absolutely taking its toll on my wife emotionally. He walked us through some of the hard decisions and the emotional roller coaster any of us experience while in a lawsuit. When we settled the case and my son was cleared I cannot begin to express to those reading this review how grateful I was to have him representing my son.
Patrick Barone represented me in a recent legal case . It was something that was very stressful for me and in an area I had little to no knowledge and expertise .Patrick is such a tremendous expert, scholarly reference and calming influence through the entire process . He helped me make the best decisions for my case and get me on the path to move forward with my life after the legal situation is resolved . In addition to his trust his compassion was greatly appreciated and needed in my time of great stress . I highly recommend Patrick and the entire barone defense team.
