Douglas Barker and his team of professionals did an amazing job, especially dealing with my very convoluted case and an uncooperative former spouse. I would highly recommend him to get the job done. It was worth every penny! Thanks Doug!

Going through a divorce is complicated and challenging in so many ways but at least Doug & his team made the legal side of things a little less stressful. Barker Family Law was both professional and considerate and I would recommend them hands down. Thanks Doug & April.

Doug is by far the best attorney around. I am a father in South Carolina and was awarded custody of my daughter. I was referred to Doug by a friend who said Doug is well known and feared by other lawyers, she was right. He coached me through the entire process. I felt safe and confident with Doug and his team on my side. He exceeding my expectations and not only got me custody of my daughter, he made sure I was protected for anything that may arise in the future. If you need help, choose Doug!!

Hired Attorney Douglas A. Barker

What a relief it was to have Douglas Barker representing me! I previously had legal counsel that was taking care of my case but was doing a very poor job of it! Your just not going to find a better attorney than Doug Barker! He truly cares for his clients best interests and went out of his way to ensure I was taken care of in a difficult situation! I can not thank him enough for getting my life back on track and helping me through one of the most difficult situations I have ever been in!

Hired Attorney Douglas A. Barker

Doug took an extremely divorce case with no notice,in which I was being bullied. He turned the case around and guided me to a settlement which achieved all of my goals.
On another occasion I was sued for just cause. Doug counter sued on my behalf and not only was I vindicated, we won the case spectacularly.
To be clear my goals were not money but protecting my sons, I cannot put a value on what Doug did for my family, he is the best.

Hired Attorney Douglas A. Barker

When I first met Doug I was desperate for help. I had left my then husband and was desperate to get a divorce. I had talked to countless lawyers and they all turned me down. Hiring Doug was like a big breath of fresh air. I believe that he could see the pain and desperation in me and decided to take a chance, thankfully! My divorce was a very long process and became very nasty but he stayed on top of things and delivered on his promise. I would recommend him to every person that asked!

Mr. Barker was very professional and knows family court law very well. He was able to patiently explain things in a way that I could understand. He was aggressive when he needed to be and I really appreciated being able to depend on him to take care of everything. I would highly recommend Mr. Barker for family court needs.

Doug did a fantastic job representing me in a difficult divorce case. He took the time to thoroughly explain the process and more than once lent a sympathetic ear when I was frustrated by the other party's actions. Doug did a great job thinking outside the box to steer things our way and was seemly always two steps ahead of the opposing counsel. All his work paid off when I received custody of the children and did not have to pay a penny of alimony or support!

Doug Barker is a great Family Law Attorney. He cared about me. He got everything he wanted in the court room. I needed the best and that is what he is. He ruled in the court room like he knew exactly what the Judge wanted to here. Get him. He is a winner!!
