We presented Barbara with a challenging case and it worked out very well for us. We found her to be well-versed in the law, respectful, and a tough cookie in the courtroom. Furthermore, she returns calls promptly, keeps you in the loop on details and takes the time to to prepare you to testify. We highly recommend her.

When I first met Barbara OHara, I was ready to give everything to my now ex husband just to get it over with. She made me look at the whole picture and come up with a better offer. I still offered to settle for less because my ex was not willing to sign. I asked what else can I do? She suggested I hire the Master at the County Family Court. I didn't have to go to court. The lawyers and the Master hammered it all out. I was very satisfied with the outcome. She was great! Highly recommended

I had chosen Barbara to represent me in my divorce after reading about her many years of experience, leadership roles in the Bar Association and community, as well as positive reviews left by previous clients. Barbara was a steady force of professional and compassionate representation and advocacy during the most challenging times. She enabled me to reach a fair resolution, and was genuinely pleased with the outcome.

Attorney Barbara O’Hara is a truly an amazing, dedicated, and compassionate attorney! Over the past five years I have tried time after time to resolve custody issues for my two children with a previous attorney. I heard that Attorney O’Hara was among the best with family law and after our initial consultation immediately knew she was the attorney for me! After four short months Barbara had my custody issues resolved and proved to me what an outstanding attorney/person she is. Mrs. O’Hara put an enormous amount of effort and time into my case. On a Friday evening at 10:00pm attorney O’Hara contacted me to ease my mind on a particular topic, that is very hard to come by, and Mrs. O’Hara did it without hesitation! She went above and beyond my expectations and there is no doubt in my mind I would not have received the outcome I did without her tireless work on my case. Thank you so very much Attorney O’Hara!
