About

I am an attorney located in Commack, NY. The majority of my practice is dedicated to Divorce and Matrimonial law, including issues that often go hand in hand with divorces, such as foreclosure defense. I represent people at both the trial and appellate level, and my skills as an appellate lawyer allows me to create a good appeal or protect against an appeal as a trial unfolds.That being said, the majority of my cases wind up settling, and I consider an agreement a win more than I do than winning at trial.

Doug has worked on my case tirelessly for over a year. His knowledge of the law and consideration of an exceedingly delicate situation has been extraordinary. He has both been incredibly professional and personable. I would recommend Doug to anyone who is in need of someone that is both caring and requires an attorney who is well-versed in the nuances of the law. In my case, Doug was able to change a seemingly impossible situation - an "onion that needed to be peeled layer by layer" as he put it. He is very thoughtful of the fact that my ex is extremely abusive and helped prepare me for what abusers typically make their next steps. In doing so, I have been better able to care for my children in devastating circumstances. He also has helped me better understand the legal process and what is typical vs atypical in the court room. Having that background, the legal jargon and proceedings were easier to comprehend in what has previously been very overwhelming. While my case is not finished yet, I expect Doug to keep fighting with the veracity and intelligence that he has exhibited thus far and will post again at the conclusion of my case! I think the best I can say so far is thank you for everything Doug!

I had an attorney and was not happy with her services. I consulted several lawyers, all of whom wanted my case for a significant retainer. I consulted with Mr. Barics who reviewed my case, and said that my current counsel was properly representing me. He explained in detail what should be done and what to do if the judge didn't do what she was supposed to do. I was ready to change lawyers, and Mr. Barics was high on the list. However, his honesty in telling me to stay with my current counsel and declining to accept a large retainer is worthy of mention. I stayed with my existing attorney, and the case proceeded nearly exactly how Mr. Barics predicted it would. I did not retain Mr. Barics then, but I am impressed he would decline a client when he felt the client was properly represented with current counsel. My former attorney has since retired and if I need new counsel Mr. Barics would be my first choice.

I retained Mr. Barics to handle my case and the outcome was better than he had predicted when we first met. He spent a lot of time to learn about my situation and learned all the facts inside and out. His representation was cost effective and his communication was fast and prompt. Many thanks to Mr. Barics

Fantastic attorney! I wish I could give him ten stars. When I first called Doug he spent a lot of time with me on the phone and didn't charge me. He listened and gave me real answers. It was obvious that he is knowledgeable and intelligent. I met Doug in his office, and retained him a few days later. He formed a plan of action with me, and stated work on my case right away. His sense of humor and confidence made all the difference. When I got my first bill, I couldn’t believe that so much of it was no charge. Doug told me he did that to make sure there I felt I could speak to him without watching the clock. It made a huge difference because Doug was well prepared when we met for a four way conference. My wife’s attorney seemed like he was learning about the case for the first time, and he charged a lot more than Doug charged me. I am really happy that he is on my side and hiring Doug was the best decision I made, I simply can’t imagine how things would be without him as my attorney. I highly recommend Doug Barics as an attorney.

Mr. Barics spent a lot of time listening and gave me a lot of advice over the phone. When we met for a consultation, all my questions were answered. I hired Mr. Barics and with his help, I was able to reach an agreement with my ex husband without going to court.

Doug was fantastic right from the start. He pays close attention to detail and picked up a lot of things that was not obvious. I had a million questions and he took the time to answer them. He made the entire process as stress free as it could be.
