He claims to be available and eager to help, but trust me, he’s only interested in your money! You are not his priority; his other clients are, except when it comes to billing. Charging $500 per hour is a rip-off. I had to change lawyers, though he wanted to fire me first because I told him I was unhappy with his service. What kind of lawyer fires a client instead of helping them in their most vulnerable time? For example, he wasn’t aware that if the case went to court and my ex lost, they would have to pay all fees. How can a good lawyer miss that? My new lawyer noticed this immediately. This is just one of many examples of his poor performance. However, his paralegal, Sophia, is competent. He will likely claim this review is not from a real client, but if that were true, how would I know that he goes to church on Sundays, his paralegal is named Sophia, he started at Omar’s in 2020, he has a corner office, and the company has a goldfish tank?

Bert Barclay is not only one heck of an Attorney, but one class act human being. I had the privilege of hiring Mr. Barclay as my attorney last year. Not one moment through the horrendous 6 month divorce period did Bert let his guard down, lose composure or integrity, nor let me lose my own! He was by my side through the thick of the thick and helped me get through the toughest time to date in my life. Not to mention a great outcome to end all as well. I still talk to Bert from time to time, that should tell you the kind of attorney Bert is! Very appreciative for his Professionalism, help, guidance, mentorship and friendship!

Bert is a thorough, conscientious, and caring lawyer. Along with his paralegal Darlene, they will take you through the process. Let's face it, divorce is messy and it's often a bumpy ride, for me an emotional one spanning many decades of marriage. The deep understanding they both possess goes above and beyond what I anticipated. However, in my opinion, this is what you need! They have the experience and expertise to navigate your legal and emotional needs to help you gain your life back and move forward positively. A solid Yes, choose Bert Barclay for your attorney.

i found myself in the stressful position of needing to clarify a divorce agreement with an antagonistic ex-spouse. Not only did Bert provide expert advise, but he did so in a warm, congenial, empathetic manner. His approach really helped reduce the stress during this ordeal. Ultimately we were able to successfully negotiate a settlement without the added costs of litigation. I credit this in large part to Bert's calm yet persistent style. He is no pushover, yet he gets the job done without being belligerent. I highly recommend Beet to anyone in need of the services he provides.

I was referred to Mr. Barclay by a long time seasoned family law attorney after having had terrible experiences with 3 other lawyers. My divorce was going on for 3 years when I contacted Mr. Barclay. The divorce ended in less than 1 yr after his involvement. Mr. Barclay demonstrated a compassionate approach to my divorce and custody battle which resulted in fewer fees, quick resolution and a great outcome for my children. I thank him for not playing games with my money and my children and would refer anyone looking for a reasonable attorney who knows how to work with people. By the way - I can tell the judges hold him in high regard from the way they talk to him in court.

I recently retained Bert Barclay to handle my divorce. Although it was relatively straightforward and did not involve child support, it was still a very stressful experience to go through. I found Bert and his staff to be very professional, thorough and compassionate in bringing this matter to a close in a timely manner. I would certainly recommend Bert to anyone seeking an ethical attorney who will work diligently to protect you interests.

I hired Bert and his partner, Bill, Barnett, when we really needed an excellent criminal attorney. Bert was always there for us during a time of great stress and anxiety. His representation was through and very competent. He was calm and well prepared for each hearing and did a superlative job. Because i am also an attorney i know what a well prepared and competent representation is and Bert is an exemplar of those traits.

He told me during my divorce not to take 50/50 that I had and he would get me full custody of my child . Almost two years later and more than $70,000 gone, I lost and now I see my child on the weekends only.
