Barrett Legal, LLC - Marietta, Georgia

Retta Brown

I hired Mr. Barrett and I was NOT happy with his service. He took my bankruptcy case and my money because he thought it was a EASY case and he wouldn't have to do much work. But once the case got complex he didn't want to complete the job. He didnt do anything like legally advise me what was the right route to take for my situation. He never returned phone calls or emails and this is not how you keep clients. Furthermore, Mr. Barrett didn't not help me resolve the next steps in the case nor did he have the decency to call me-very unprofessional! He had his secretary contact me to refer me to another attorney so I would have to pay more money on a job I paid him to do. He also sent me a letter in the mail and tried to withdraw himself from my case
without discussing my next steps. I feel Mr. Barrett owes me the remaining balance minus the bankruptcy filing fee for the job he didn't complete. I did email him just days ago for this request and he has yet to respond.

I strongly advise against hiring this attorney as they proved to be a complete waste of time and money. Despite paying a substantial amount to secure their services, they displayed a shocking lack of awareness regarding my case and consistently failed to respond to my calls and emails, even during critical periods. I ended up having to handle everything myself, putting in all the effort while they were completely absent. This attorney makes empty promises and only pretends to be on your side until they have drained your finances, at least 10k in my case, and then conveniently disappear, leaving your case in ruins. Please do not jeopardize your family's funds by entrusting them with your legal matters. To put it bluntly - they provided zero support whatsoever.

I have been using John Barrett for over 20 years now and I will only use this firm! Donna his paralegal is absolutely amazing! They both go above and beyond for their clients!! If you want a firm/attorney that cares and that will work hard for you then use Barrett Legal, LLC! I have been so pleased on many cases John has worked on of mine. He has never let me down! Here recently he helped my fiance with a last minute situation and we were truly pleased with the outcome! Thanks John and Donna for everything!!

Hired on another lawyers recommendation. They collected a retainer within 15minutes. Made sure to get money immediately and a year later we have not even filed anything. Requested a ledger for billing since nothing has been done, ever. No response. No one has moved forward with our case at all. We have had to get another lawyer involed. This place basically pocketed our money for adoption and disappeared. To this day we still have been represented or filed anything and are now having to file with another lawyer just to deal with this lawyer.

Crazy experience. So disappointed. This was an adoption case and they just completely left this child and our whole family flapping in the wind. I've never seen anything like it.

I had a great experience with this law firm. Mr. Barrett is knowledgeable and easy to communicate with. He is kind and does not come off superior. Ms. Donna is great support and really shows that she cares about your case. I had to call her several times in a panic/breakdown and she was there to handle the situation. I would recommend Barrett Law to anyone in need of a divorce lawyer!

Barrett Legal Response to: Simone Godwin
Ms. Godwin is the opposing party in a contested divorce matter and not an uncontested matter as stated in her review. Unfortunately, Ms. Godwin has not been happy that Attorney John Barrett was protecting his client from her harassing and unwelcome conduct. Further, Ms. Godwin terminated her own attorney and made similar statements as that of Mr. Barrett. It is apparent that Ms. Godwin does not like it when she cannot bully or manipulate people around her. If you are looking for excellent representation and are in a situation similar to this, please do not hesitate to contact Barrett Legal.

Attorneys and legal issues were something I thought I would have to go through. John and Donna have represented me for the past 5 years. They have gotten me exactly what I wanted each of the 2 times I’ve had a custody battle. They have achieved the unreachable when it comes to the final outcome. I highly recommend Barrett Legal for all your legal needs. I couldn’t imagine the position I would be in if it wasn’t for them!

Considering hiring an attorney can carry so many emotions. However, after my initial conversation with Donna, I was encouraged that there was hope for a new beginning ahead. Both John and Donna provide detailed explanations of what to expect throughout the process and were diligent and timely in their preparation. I am very thankful to have had their expertise walk me through a very challenging time in my life.
