My firm Freedom National has been working with Barry Seaton for over a decade and his integrity and punctuality are the best of any law firm that I have seen in my 30 years of experience being self-employed. His attention to detail and truly caring about his clients is one of his qualities that I admire the most! I have referred him and will continue to refer him to anyone that could use his services!
Barry was so helpful - we had no idea where to start and he explained everything so we understood and now we feel a sense of relief that our estate plan is taken care of. He answered every question with patience and was prompt to return our emails and phone calls. We are so thankful.
