Very professional and dedicated firm. Kaitlin DuBois was awesome!

DO NOT PICK THIS FIRM. THEY HAVE A TERRIBLE REPUTATION DO YOUR RESEARCH. THEY ASK THEIR CLIENTS TO TAKE DOWN THE BAD REVIEWS. THAT'S WHY THEY HAVE 4.9 STARS ON THEIR REVIEWS. THEY ASKED ME TO TAKE IT DOWN AND I SAID "NO" ......I decided to go with the firm because they had great reviews on the internet. I'm from Missouri, but I need a family court lawyer from Kansas. My lawyer they picked me was DAVID WEST. He has to be one of the worst lawyers in Kansas. From the very beginning, he couldn't remember anything about my case. When it comes to family courts, little details are very important. Time after time, I had to remind him everything about my case. Either he couldn't remember, or he didn't care. I'm the one who had to call him to set up strategy appointments before our meeting with the judge. I just fired him after spending 6000 dollars. Let me tell you why, in our last strategy appointment before we had a meeting with the judge. I had to tell him everything about my case again. This is where it gets crazy. I told him that my dad had a heart attack 3 yrs in front of me and that I had to CPR for 30 mins. Thank God I saved his life. He said, " I didn't know that," but I've told him this story several times in the 5 months I hired him. Then I told him that my parents were in an ATV accident at the lake on Aug. 6 Both of them were life flighted to Columbia. My father was in a coma for 3 weeks, and my mother was in ICU with multiple broker bones and surgeries on her leg. So yes, my life has been very stressful since that time. I remind you this was an hour before our meeting with the judge. So we were in our meeting with the judge, David West my lawyer that ive paid $6000 made up some bazaar story that my parents were involved in a motor vehicle accident and that i pulled my father out of the car on scene and did CPR on him and saved his life. Not even close to what I just told him one hour before. Now, maybe the firm has great lawyers, but if you ever get David West, I would advise you to run away as far as possible. I just wasted $6,000 and he wanted more money. David was never prepared and never studied my case. Everyone amazed how terrible he was. I really can't believe this firm has David West represent them. I repeat do not choose Barnds Law if they hire a lawyer like David West. You think the firm would call me and apologize for David West, but I'm sure Mr. West is going to lie an say I was unprofessional. Of course after everything he put me through I was unprofessional and I left him some nasty emails. This guy was unprofessional by not be prepared and remembering anything about my case. Because of him I will not have 50/50 custody with my son.The firm just left this message trying to justify the way their lawyer handled my case. I called the number back and no one answered. Of course, after months of David West not knowing my case and me having to remind him. I was frustrated and left him some nasty messages on his email. I'm just so confused how I lawyer can mess up a story like I told him. Especially when I told him just an hour before the meeting with the judge. Update 2 months later. ----MORE LIES FROM THEM. NEVER ASKED FOR MONEY--- THEY OFFERED TO GAVE ME $700 BACK TO TAKE DOWN THE REVIEW. SAID "NO". IS THAT ILLEGAL? THIS WHY YOU HAVE A HORRIBLE REPUTATION. ANYTHING ELSE YOUR FIRM WOULD LIKE TO LIE ABOUT? TRYING TO SLANDER MY CHARACTER NOW? Um, my story hasn't changed. LYING AGAIN!!! Um, I don't what you are talking about. But I have noticed you have had several family members that are related to your employees leaving 5 star reviews without writing anything about there experiences with your Firm. HMMMMMMMM!!! Maybe you stop having family members leave fake 5 star reviews. I have noted such on my end and documented the social media interaction. Thank you!!! IS IT STILL ILLEGAL TO OFFER SOMEONE MONEY BACK TO TAKE DOWN A BAD REVIEW??? I only see one posting. GO TO YELP REVIEWS OF BARNDS LAW MORE WONDERFUL REVIEWS OF THIS FIRM!! HMMMMM.. REALLY MIA!!!!! DO NOT PICK THIS FIRM. WHAT A JOKE!!!

Kaitlin Dubois has been wonderful to work with and I have had peace of mind knowing she was the one looking out for me when I filed for divorce. I would highly recommend her and her legal team

This was my first experience with an attorney and I would use them again. Kaitlin Dubois was very communicative and made me feel comfortable and informed through the whole process. My fees came out to match the estimate so there were no surprises. Highly recommend

Such a dream team! Very friendly and knowledgeable. Attorney Kaitlin Dubois and paralegal Kari will guide you every step of the way. Highly recommend.

Chris handled my case. Every person I was in contact with at the office was pleasant to work with and very responsive to inquiries. They answered all of my questions and took the time to ensure I understood.

Chris Barnds gets the job done every time! Professional and experienced I highly recommend using this law firm!!!

Great company!
