My divorce was difficult for me to get through for various reasons but Matt and his entire team were always there for whatever I needed. Matt was supportive and calm while staying focused on protecting my interests. Everyone in his office was knowledgeable and helpful. Matt is easy to talk to and was always willing to answer any questions I had.

Matthew Barach Law Group has been wonderful to work with and invaluable. Matt and Jenn Salerno were always patient and thoughtful! My three cases have been some of the hardest moments of my life and Matt Barach has been supportive, knowledgeable, understanding, and thorough. I highly recommend him and Jenn!

I was referred to Barach Law Group and am SO glad I took the recommendation. It took a couple of years to finalize my divorce and reverse some of the custody issues, but Matt was always there for me. If I had any questions or needed clarification on anything, he talked to me until I was satisfied with his answer or explanation. I never felt like I was being rushed or my problems were an inconvenience. Matt was straight forward and told me what his thoughts were, but ultimately every decision was mine. But of course I took his advise every time. I am so thankful for everything Matt and everyone on his staff did for me. I am forever grateful.

Matt has helped me tremendously with a difficult divorce/custody battle. Always attentive, kept me informed, answered my questions and concerns in detail. Very knowledgeable, and makes his presence in court- always prepared and two steps ahead! A very understanding person too. I can never thank him enough for all he did (and still does) for me!

Matt was extremely well prepared, helped provide me insight into how to best handle my case and get the best outcome from a very difficult divorce. I would highly recommend him and have already provide him with one referral to date.

I have been working with Matthew Barach for 2 years now on my very complex case. He is there for advice whenever I need it. He gives great sound advice and knows the laws very well. I highly recommend his expertise as a family lawyer and divorce lawyer.

Mr. Barach is very professional and knowledgeable in his field. In handling my case he went out of his way to find Nunc Pro Tunc which allowed me to have my military disability reinstated at the Veterans Administration in New Orleans, LA. I would recommend Mr. Barach to anyone needing an intelligent and personable attorney!

Incredibly unprofessional. Only concerned with money. He continually asked for more money & delivered NO updates or progress to my case. I waited for weeks & weeks after paying him several thousand dollars, only to find that he had made no progress. I was very disappointed.
