What an absolute pleasure to work with such a committed individual. Punctual, on top, and professional are just some of the outer layers you get when working with Barnes. Not to exclude his tenacity, hard work ethic, and genuine concern for your well being along with the steadfast nature to see your case through. I am beyond happy with my experience as well as with the results Mr. Barnes provides. I would recommend him and the team for any future cases pertaining to his specialties. Thanks again Bud.
I am a professional in the business world and tend to hold people to my standards as an individual. Those are strict exacting standards. My clients depend on me and my skills to keep them and their families safe. I own a marine repair service facility and work on boats from 15 to 50 feet. My work has to be completed on time and must be of the highest quality available. I know and understand quality. Quality that lives depend on. Mr. Stephen Barnes is of the type of quality that I would trust the security and the lives of my family with. This man is of a rare breed of consummate professionals that is unmatched in daily life. The professionalism he displays is something of a character not often seen. The confidence of this man is that of a world class professional athlete. I have been in business my entire life and have dealt with people whom I admired greatly and those that were average on the scope. Mr. Stephen Barnes is probably, and most likely the most admirable person I will ever have the pleasure of meeting, and certainly doing business with. His attention to detail is remarkable! His knowledge of his trade is remarkable. His ability to read the opposition and predict their future action is uncanny. Mr. Barnes is a truly amazing person, his wife and children are certainly blessed with him in their lives. On many occasions we spoke, he kept me well informed and abreast of the matters at hand in my case. At all times I was "In the Know". Not for one second were my questions or concerns not responded to. His staff, that I am sure he has spent many years selecting and grooming, are impeccable! They were at my every beck and call with any question or concern I had. The team he has taken the time to assemble are nothing less than TOP NOTCH! Mr. Barnes is also a very caring and charitable person. He has taught his children to care for the needs of the less fortunate. He has set up a 501C3 charity that his children run to make sure that the less fortunate in the community are well supplied for their educational needs. They take in donations such as backpacks and necessary school supplies and distribute them to these children. He is a man that understands and practices on a daily basis, excellent values, and instills them in his family and staff. I would recommend to anyone in need of the services he provides to not think twice if they have the opportunity to work with him. He was and is, a godsend to myself and my family. He turned a tragedy into an reward and I will always be thankful and personally indebted to him. Brian
I found Mr. Barnes to be a very knowledgeable and fast acting lawyer. I was always kept informed about all matters and so appreciate the speed at which my case was handled. I thank you Mr. Stephen Barnes for not only representing me, but resolving my case in such a timely manner! You have my vote of confidence and future referrals. Sincerely, KL
I would highly recommend Mr. Barnes and his staff. Very professional. Always answered my questions. Was very honest with me about what I should expect from my case.
I was very pleased with Mr. Barnes and the Barnes Trial Group. Everyone was very professional and nice. They answered all my questions and addressed any of my concerns. I felt confident with BTG representing me. The BTG was able to settle my case with the maximum limits allowed without going to trial. I would highly recommend BTG.
I was a little very nervous in the beginning of the my case. I was injured severely and most of my hope was gone, but soon after Mr Barnes picked up my case i was reassured buy him personally that we had a solid case. Every time I had a concern about the case that couldn't be handled by the team Mr Barnes would call me himself to make sure I understood what was going on. I'm not good at writing down how i feel but in a nutshell, Mr Barnes is a great human being with a stellar team to help him help other people in a time of need. I know in my heart if anything happened to me again or any of my family i would call Steve in a heartbeat!
I know many attorneys in the Tampa Bay area. Steve is the only Attorney I felt confident to have handle my complex claim. Professional, great staff, eminently capable and efficient. Great Lawyer
Steve and his staff were very informative, polite and professional. I have never had to hire an attorney and did not know anything about the process, him and his staff would always answer any and all questions within 24 hours. They stayed on top of my case, with me and my family at their best interest. Would definitely refer them to anyone!!
Mr. Barnes is one of the most professional persons that I have come to know. Mr. Barnes office staff is as professional as well. If I ever needed to talk with him he was always available. I could send an email at night or on the weekend and Mr. Barnes would answer it. Mr. Barnes always had answers to my questions and reasons why, he knows the laws very well and will give more then 100% of his effort to your case. Mr. Barnes makes you feel that your case is the only one that he is working on when in fact he is working on others besides yours.. I would highly recommend Mr. Barnes to anyone who asks.
Mr. Barnes is an excellent attorney. He is very knowledgeable and a great person to have on your side. He kept me well informed throughout my case and answered all of my questions promptly. I am truly grateful beyond words to have had Mr. Barnes represent me. I would without a doubt recommend him to anybody in need of trustworthy, hardworking attorney.
