Curtis went above and beyond for my son. Working hard making time for him aggressive kind representation. Great preparation. And got his f3 charge reduced to m3. And kept in touch after to make sure everything is ok. I would highly recommend curtis for any situation you have. It's a blessing to have him as our lawyer and will also refer back to him again if we need to. Highly highly recommend him. He brings peace of mind and explains everything fully in great detail. Curtis thanks for all you done for my son you are greatly appreciated.

Curtis helped my daughters when they were being charged for something they really didn’t do. It was a matter of wrong place, wrong time. Curtis was very professional, friendly and understanding. He was able to represent them and save their licenses, charges and future career plans. Thanks a million! We appreciate your help!

Long story short, I'm from New York, and was charged with a probation violation out of Lebanon County back in 2008. A bench warrant was issued, but I was never made aware of it, even though I never charged my address since I was originally sentenced. I only found out about it on my own when I tried to get a passport. I called Mr Barnes to help me out. Lebanon County wanted me to turn myself in. Attorney Barnes told me not to do that because it would be days or weeks that I would be sitting in jail waiting for a hearing. Instead, he filed a motion with the court and got a specific date for a hearing. On the day of the hearing, I drove back to Lebanon from NY. While I still could have been looking at more time in jail, Mr. Barnes negotiated my immediate release the same day! I am extremely pleased with how Attorney Barnes worked things out.

I lost my job back in 2016 due to a physical injury. My bills piled up, judgments were filed against me, and my bank started foreclosure on my house. I was really desperate and didn't know what to do. I met with Mr. Barnes and he listened carefully to me as I explained my situation to him. After going over several options I decided my best remedy was to file bankruptcy. After getting all of my information together, Mr. Barnes prepared the papers needed to file my case. He reviewed everything with me before sending my case into court to make sure everything was right. He prepared me for what to expect in court, which made me feel more at ease. My case went very smoothly and I am now out of debt. Throughout my case, Mr. Barnes treated me with great respect and like a friend.

I recently hired Attorney Barnes because I was charged with a felony violation of the wiretap law. I have never been in trouble with the law before. What happened was I used an app on my phone to record phone calls with someone in authority without telling them. When that person found out he called the cops on me and I was charged. Mr.Barnes researched the wiretap law and explained it thoroughly to me. He got the district attorney to allow me to be admitted to a program through which I won't get a criminal record, even though this was a felony. Throughout my case, Attorney Barnes was patient with me as I had lots of questions and was very scared. I hope I never need a lawyer again, but if I do I will call Mr Barnes again.

My ex-wife filed a protection from abuse complaint against me last month. Because she did this once before and I lost while representing myself, I did not want to take any chances this time. I hired Mr. Barnes to help out because I want to seek custody of my children and did not want another PFA order entered against me.
