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.

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!
