I am seeking permanent disability due to Betsy Barker dragging her feet to secure a restraining order. I have been under the care of multiple MD professionals that claim my disability and disease is from abuse sustained from Betsy not protecting me. I was also told from a medical counselor at mental health that people can be paralyzed from trauma. My children waited 10 months for child support. With two police reports from State Police, and County Police for break ins. I was told from 4 medical officials that Betsy was cruel, inhuman and used unethical treatment. And Vera House questioned if my ex paid her off! My understanding is that most women like me, kill themselves because the pain is unbearable and will never go away! As a masters degree holder and PhD hopeful, I am now going through the permanent disability process! The state and federal government have received documentation of the lack of Ms Barkers ethical side!!!! I am now seeking resolve from a neurologist.... extreme stress can cause stroke, and ptsd can rewire the brain and cause a brain injury, and MS can cause brain lesions! Yes, Ms Baker is deemed an abuser by all the medical professions that I have seen! So far I was told that I can’t have restraining order because it’s joint custody, give up custody of my kids and move out of state, and now currently working with a forensic counselor.... and it appears permanent disability in my situation will be inevitable! I don’t think Betsy had the right tools to deal with situation that forensics experts now have to clean up! A nationally accredited psy D, hospital team, disease specialist, and now a neurologist! I would be greatful for a diagnosis of MS over abuse that sustained brain injury or stroke! I was born and raised in this area and worked at Syracuse City Schools, and abused by a team of lawyers and my ex husband! I only hope it’s disease... to be disable from abuse is almost too much to process! I’m not exactly sure who’s heart aches more at the doctors offices... mine or the medical professionals! I wouldn’t recommend her on account she thinks food falls from the sky! Fearful it was my dark skin that made her so cruel to me! Nonetheless, I wrote a letter to the judge last year to give him the WIC documentation for my 3 year old son... from a man that made 140,000.00 and year and money from his dead mother, he was unable to feed the baby of his family! When a forensic teams sees a man that drain the family bank account 2 months after his mother’s death, takes about the maximum amount in loans, leaves to file for custody and leaves me whirling in the wind in fright, not one lawyer questions his inability to feed his children. But would questioned everything I did. In the mental health world, that’s significant cause for concern! I’m not afraid to share my story! I’m afraid these lawyers will get away will fraud, malicious intent to cause harm, and financial distress to either a diseased women or crippled a women! I’m thankful for the medical professionals to value the lives of their patients! Because the lawyers don’t! Not bitter, and not revengeful, profoundly sad.... a community member that raised scholarships for children, raised money at local churches, and OPWDD board mentee, is unbearably damaged because my voice never once counted!!!!

I hired Elisabeth Barker and she was highly professional and extremely knowledgeable in her field. I gave her all documentation and she handled everything. She took charge in court, which allowed me to focus on my health. My family and I were very thankful for her help and dedication. I highly recommend her.

We had the same experience as other reviewers. We paid thousands of dollars up front then had to take time off from work to chase her down at her office to get her attention. (Usually off on vacation). Few if any return calls. No attention to details and sloppy record keeping. When we did get her to a meeting she repeatedly asked for (and billed) information that had already been given to her. She was good friends with the opposing counsel and the only activity our case got was when he would tell her what to do. Not saying this because we didn't get the results we wanted. Saying that we never felt she cared, did the work, or was knowledgeable. We looked into filling a complaint with the bar and would have if she hadn't taken all our money. She gave the same story up front as on her web site about caring, personal attention and experience - don't listen.

Kenneth did an excellent job with my speeding ticket. He got the results we were looking for. Excellent experience, highly recommend

My wife and I hired Ms. Barker to handle a child custody case. We live in another state. We paid Ms. Barker a $1500 retainer and for the first part of our case she did a fine job. Our bills from her office have always been paid timely. However, there has been a glitch with our child support payments and we cannot get Ms. Barker's to return any calls to us. We have even gone so far as to file our own paperwork to have the case return to court. We know that she is still seen regularly in the child support court. But she WILL NOT return our calls and now we must find another attorney and start this process again. Please hire her with caution!

Getting a speeding ticket can be very stressful- Kenneth took care of everything. I did not have to worry about a thing. Thank you for everything!

Worked with Kenneth for a traffic violation. Overall relatively simple matter that I did not want to handle myself. I found Kenneth to be knowledgeable, very responsive and I very much appreciated the tone of our communication. He was very practical and effective. Case solved to my satisfaction. I would work with him again.

Trustworthy: Ken put my interests first, and even worked to get me approved for the court-appointed attorney program. Good results: Ken was able to achieve the results I needed to move on after a mistake, all without having to go to trial! (serious felony dropped down to an ACD). He is also knowledgeable and gave me really helpful advice specific to my situation.

From the moment I walked through the door Mr. Christopher was respectful and caring. He listened to me, was very helpful and instantly put me at ease during a difficult time. In the courtroom he was quick on his feet, knowing all the facts he needed to know, including things the judge himself needed to look up! From start to finish he was incredibly professional. Would recommend highly to anyone!!

Kenneth Christopher was a great choice to handle my case. He did what he sought out to do with a sense of urgency and I received minimal fines. He is very knowledgeable of his practice and does a great job staying in touch. I recommend this lawyer for any legal matters you may have. He is great to work with and is reasonably priced.

Kenneth Christopher is and outstanding lawyer, he's very knowledgable in the cases and people he represents. He kept me informed on every detail of my case, even when I didn't know exactly what was going on he elaborated every detail so I would understand better. As a friend to Kenneth Christopher and as a former client, I'd recommend him to anybody that needed legal representation. Thank you for all of your help
