Abigail Barnes is the most respectful and focused attorney I've ever met. She recently helped me on a legal matter that had been over my head for almost 20 years, and despite talking with countless attorneys over that period of time, none of them helped me. Abigail Barnes listened to me, and focused on every detail I discussed, and when I was done, she simply said "I can, and will help you". Her biggest attribute is the will to listen without casting unfair aspersions about the subject, and a strong desire to help those who have become victims of the judicial system due to systematic inequities because of race, poverty, or environment. She took the time to hear my cry, and her efforts to support me, and give her best expertise has forever changed my life, and for that I will always be eternally grateful to her. The consumate professional attorney she is, will always be an attribute to anyone or any law firm seeking justice, to do the right thing, for those who otherwise may not ever find it. Thanks for helping me Abigail, the work you did for me will never be forgotten, and your soul and career will forever be blessed.

Abbie is the BEST attorneys on Earth. Fast-Responsive-calm cool and lethally brilliant. It's a side perk that she is a sharp dresser and a charming kind hearted individual. I can't thank her enough for coming to my rescue. I told everyone in a meeting this morning how I messaged her and she came in the like the calvary with less than a couple of hours notice. She grasp the situation instantly , took charge and dispatched my adversaries like they were a mere pesky flee. I feel relieved and vindicated. Thank you - Thank you -Thank you!!!
