A friend recommended Barry to me for my Divorce. I was 29 at the time with three young children and a husband who was running down a dark path. I was overwhelmed and unsure of how the legal process even worked. Barry felt like a father to me. He was so kind, extremely responsive (it felt like I was his only case), he is incredibly intelligent and I always knew he was on my side. My divorce was VERY messy because my ex-husband was in contempt several times. We had to go back to court many times and Barry was always the rock I needed during an emotional turbulent time. Beside the fact, that Barry is an incredibly talented attorney, he is also just a really great person with a kind heart. Divorce and custody issues are so overwhelming, you really want an attorney on your side that actually cares about you and the outcome for your children. I highly recommend Barry, you won't regret working with him.

I hired Mr. Book to represent me for a complex and lengthy divorce process that included disputes about custody/placement. He was kind and sensitive during an extremely difficult time in my life. He was also strategic and strongly represented me. In the end, I "prevailed" (if there is such a thing in a divorce/custody dispute). I highly recommend him and wouldn't hire anyone else should I ever need a family law attorney again.
