Ben : Thank you for helping me out in a very messy, and confusing child support issue. Great guy, good attorney. Aggressive, fair, firm , compassionate and caring. Would highly recommended him to anyone with child custody issues or divorce issues. Glad he was on my side. Not many in the profession give back to community like Ben does. We are lucky to have him.

Ben and his team did an excellent job with my case. If I or anyone else I know are in need of an attorney for a child custody case and/or divorce, I would look no further than Benjamin Barnett. My only regret was not hiring him sooner. He is an excellent attorney to have in your corner.

I hired Ben for a very long child custody battle for my daughter after hearing great things about him from a close family friend attorney. Throughout the whole process from the paternity test to the parenting plan, Ben was always doing whatever he could to make sure my little girl would have her daddy in her life. He led and guided me through the toughest time of my life; a time where I wasn't sure if I would get to see my little girl. Ben was always at peak performance no matter how big or small the issue was. Through the next 6 or so years of my daughter's life, I have used Ben many times and he has never let me down.

I can't thank Ben Barnett enough for his hardwork and willingness to go the extra mile to help me. Ben is very well educated and a master of his craft. He got me the results I was looking for. In times like these you have to choose wisely when it comes to who will represent you. I couldn't have picked a better lawyer. I will recommend the Barnett Firm to everyone.

As a client of Mr. Barnett, Ben, along with his staff, is one of the most caring and understanding people during a tough time. Ben sought to understand me and catered to my needs while teaching me about the process. He is realistic and tells you the truth; not just what you want to hear.

When Mr. Barnett met with me and heard my story he was genuinely concerned. He felt my pain, he understood my confusion and he calmed my fears. He treated me like he would treat his sister. When we walked into the courtroom he flipped a switch and the pitbull in him came out. He defended me with such tenacity and conviction my ex husband realized he needed to step and do what was right by me and our kids.

Mr. Barnett was able to turn a really bad alimony and child support situation into a no alimony and very favorable and fair child support situation. Very professional and excellent staff. Will use again if necessary. Highly recommended!

From the very start Ben put me at ease. What I liked the most is that he listened to me, intently. When I left after our first meeting I had no doubt I was in the best hands possible. He approached my case like a surgeon... the detail at which he works makes me wonder how others survive with lesser representation. If you can hire him, do it.

Ben helped me with a criminal matter I had unfortunately managed to get myself into. Through his knowledge of the legal process and and impeccable negotiation skills, he not only managed to help me avoid jail time but was able to show the court the charges weren’t proper for the conduct. Well before any trial date he he’d reviewed my case and had me voluntarily performing community service. He continually kept me updated on the status and outlined a very detailed trial strategy from the start. The attention to detail and level of professionalism and aggressiveness with which he handled my case showed me something rare to see in an attorney. You could tell he personally cared about the outcome of the case. He didn’t just want to win, he wanted to win because he felt that was justice in my case. Can’t thank him enough for helping me out of a situation that could have otherwise negatively impacted my life for years to come. You rock Ben!
