Joel Barber and the entire team at Barber Law Group will get you the results you deserve! There are no words to express how thankful I was to have Joel Barber in my corner through my family law battle. I strongly recommend Joel for his ethical and professional representation of clients. He is smart, ethical, and worked tirelessly to get the results that were warranted. Whenever I felt stressed out with my legal matters; Joel always made me feel confident again! I also worked closely with attorney Sydnie Wells-Seiwert. She was very helpful and understanding. She explained to me what the procedures were and how we were going to handle them. She handled my case in an extremely competent and professional manner. I was able to reach out to her anytime of the day and she was always there to set my mind at ease. I am so pleased with the work she did and the efforts she made. I strongly recommend Sydnie for her ethical and professional representation of clients.

After 30 years of marriage, without warning, was thrust into a divorce. All of the decisions I had to make would impact the rest of my life. The best decision I made was retaining Barber Law Firm. After speaking with Joel Barber and Missy, I was much more confident about my situation. At all times the staff treated me with respect and empathy. I was kept up to date as my case progressed and all my questions were answered. I felt like my case was important to the practice from it's beginning until everything was finalized.

I cannot thank the team at Barber Law Group enough for their exceptional work in helping me regain custody of my child. Their dedication, expertise, and unwavering support throughout the legal process were truly outstanding. Thanks to their hard work and commitment, I am now able to cherish precious moments with my child that I thought I had lost forever. I highly recommend Barber Law Group to anyone in need of a family lawyer. They truly go above and beyond to achieve the best outcomes for their clients.

JBL has been a life saver for me, I am a father who is trying to get his child back from a narcissistic mother. MR. Barber has not only went to court and defended my name for all the wrong accusations. He has made it to where my son was not alienated from the family and me, we are still at battle but I have full confidence with Mr. Barber on my side. I will have my son back in my life, sometimes it does not matter what the courts rule the other parent does not follow those rules and they have to be drawn into picture by someone professional such as MR. Barber. Thank You Joel, From the Karim family.

JBL were a lifesaver through a difficult divorce. The team is fantastic. I was able to work with Joel, Sydnie, Amber and Gillian. They provided a clear understanding of what the law dictates for divorce and what my rights were. Responses were timely and informative. Most of all they were kind and empathetic while sharing through difficult things as finances, assets, and debt. I cannot recommend their team enough. Thank you all!!

In the midst of what can only be described as the darkest chapter of my life, Barber Law Group emerged as a beacon of hope and guidance. As I navigated the turbulent waters of divorce from what felt like a partnership with the devil, their unwavering support and expertise shone through, guiding me towards a brighter tomorrow. From the moment I stepped into their office, I was greeted with compassion and understanding. The team at Barber Law Group didn't just see me as another case file; they saw me as a person in pain, seeking solace and resolution. They listened attentively to my story, validating my emotions and concerns every step of the way. What truly set Barber Law Group apart was their commitment to not just securing a legal victory, but also to ensuring my emotional well-being throughout the process. Divorce is inherently fraught with emotions - anger, sadness, betrayal - and they recognized the importance of addressing these feelings head-on. Thank you, Joel, Amber, Syd.

Honestly I'm not sure where to start with Joel and his team! I went with Joel,Sydnie and their fantastic paralegal Amber! The best team of people you could have on your side. I Went through a divorce that was far from ordinary! The other party would not tell the truth!!! I had gone through a couple different attorneys during the 3 years it took to get divorced and the custody battle handled. Joel and his team were a saving grace and handled each and every aspect of my divorce for the last year and half with care, compassion and also authority. They were a presence in the court room that I have never experienced before! It was fantastic! The knowledge and way that they handle the court is nothing short of and on how they used the laws against the other party to prove the lies very swiftly! They were everything I needed! No matter what l ever have come up in life, they will forever be my go to!!! Thanks again Joel,Sydnie and Amber!

This is an awesome lawfirm. A highly competent, well rounded, and knowledgeable firm. From the day I walked in everyone made me feel very comfortable and secure with one of the hardest things I have gone through in my life...divorce.They were the only firm in reno that would take me on last minute as I was on a strict time-line. Joel and his team were there every step of the way with my many questions and concerns, and are still. This is the first and hopefully last time in my life I have ever needed a firm to represent me, but if for some reason the situation presents itself in the future? Joel and his team would be my one and only phone call. Thank you Joel, Jessica, Beth, Katie and everyone that has helped me through this. I greatly appreciate you all!!

Lawyers.com Client Reviews

Martindale-Hubbell® Client Review Ratings™ display reviews submitted by individuals who have either hired or consulted the lawyers or law firms.

The Client Review Rating score is determined through the aggregation of validated responses. People who submit reviews are either individuals who consulted with the lawyer/law firm or who hired the lawyer/law firm and want to share their experience of that lawyer or law firm with other potential clients. Reviewers can be anyone who consults or hires a lawyer including in-house counsel, corporate executives, small business owners, and private individuals.

Martindale-Hubbell validates that a reviewer is a person with a valid email address. As part of the review process, respondents must affirm that they have had an initial consultation, are currently a client or have been a client of the lawyer or law firm identified, although Martindale-Hubbell cannot confirm the lawyer/client relationship as it is often confidential. The content of the responses is entirely from reviewers.

Prior results do not guarantee a similar outcome and Martindale-Hubbell accepts no responsibility for the content or accuracy of any review. For more information on Martindale-Hubbell Client Review Ratings, please visit our Client Review Page

Martindale Peer Reviews

Martindale-Hubbell® Peer Review Ratings™ are the gold standard in attorney ratings, and have been for more than a century. These ratings indicate attorneys who are widely respected by their peers for their ethical standards and legal expertise in a specific area of practice.

The Martindale-Hubbell Peer Review Ratings process is the gold standard due to its objectivity and comprehensiveness. Lawyers solicited for peer reviews include both those selected by the attorney being reviewed and lawyers independently selected by Martindale-Hubbell. All reviewers are verified as attorneys through Martindale-Hubbell’s extensive attorney database. Only attorneys practicing at least three years and receiving a sufficient number of reviews from non-affiliated attorneys are eligible to receive a Rating.

What are the different Martindale-Hubbell Peer Review Ratings?*

• AV Preeminent®: The highest peer rating standard. This rating signifies that a large number of the lawyer’s peers rank him or her at the highest level of professional excellence for their legal knowledge, communication skills and ethical standards.

• Distinguished: An excellent rating for a lawyer with some experience. This rating indicates the attorney is widely respected by their peers for high professional achievement and ethical standards.

• Notable: This rating indicates that the lawyer has been recognized by a large number of their peers for strong ethical standards.

Lawyers who have received peer reviews after 2009 will display more detailed information, including practice areas, summary ratings, detailed numeric ratings and written feedback (if available). Details for individual reviews received before 2009 are not displayed.

Attorneys that receive reviews from their peers, but not a sufficient number to establish a Martindale-Hubbell Peer Review Rating, will have those reviews display on our websites.

For more information on Martindale-Hubbell Peer Review Ratings™, please visit our Ratings Page on Martindale.com and our Frequently Asked Questions

Avvo Client Reviews

Ratings and reviews are feedback from people who have either consulted an attorney about an issue (but may not have hired the attorney) or people who hired an attorney as a current or former client and provided their feedback to our sister site, Avvo.com.
