I could not have gotten through the purchase of my condo without Barbara. I had to be out of the country during some of the crucial deadlines. Barbara took care of everything and kept me informed. Her review of the documents and commitment to me as a client was unparalleled. I would definitely recommend her.

My girlfriend and I just completed a condo purchase and had Barbara represent us. She was responsive, attentive, and helped us through the difficult and stressful process. We would definitely recommend her.

Barbara's awesome. She explained to me in layman's terms everything I needed to know about what I was signing, and she was also very prompt in drafting the legal documents we needed.

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.

Barbara J. Macy is attentive, thorough, straightforward and empathic. She is very knowledgable about many different areas of the law. Barbara J. Macy has all the potential outcomes of a situation in mind and advises accordingly. She is realistic and tries to mediate rather than invite alienation. I felt in very good hands, both for the divorce and also for the purchase of my home. She has a great sense of humor and is very curious about her clients. I very strongly recommend Barbara J. Macy.
