He helped me in more ways than I can list. Mr. Barilla explained all of the facts in a manner which I could understand. I have chronic/progressive MS. Also had a massive stroke in 2012. In 2017 I suffered two back to back heart attacks which were misdiagnose. By the time the medical staff was able to get a response from my heart through electronic external pacers, I needed to be placed on full life support for several weeks. To the medical staff's shock. did survive. It was called a medical miracle.

What kind of attorney NEVER answers his phone and NEVER RETURNS YOUR CALLS And keeps his voicemail constantly full so you can’t even leave this shister a message. I know, the kind that already has your money and doesn’t care about his clients .I KNOW YOU DONT REPRESENT ME, THIS JUST MY OPINION OF YOU AND HOW YOU DO TREAT THOSE YOU DO REPRESENT. Freedom of speech! You cannot say this isn’t true or you would talk to your client

Today, I went to court & had a mishap, they lost paperwork for court appointed attorney. However, God Bless, Mr. Barilla. He welcomed the chance to come on my team and defend me against all odds. The Stack was definitely not in my favour, because my EX is a Con Artist and very manipulative. Getting many on his team, as they don't see thur his smoke and mirrors. Yet, with all that, and Zero prep time, My Attorney Barilla WON hands down. And it was Sweet Justice, because my EX attorney MADE Partner in His Firm, by Winning on my husband ABUSE of me. That OTHER Lawyer, pleaded before a Jury, His Client my EX, DID the Crime, but wrong charge, and so he made firm & forever helps my Ex. And my Ex, forever Twists the truth, saying he was found Not Guilty. Boils down to, I am so grateful.... To My New Attorney, he was Court Appointed & HELPED me more than many in the past, in just a few minutes, he went from zero, to HERO ! Sincerely thanks, on behalf of me, my rights & more Importantly my child, who needs his mom!! And Mr. Barilla, made it clear out the gate, he is a fight for truth!!! & Real Justice is on my Horizons, after Years of Dragged thru the mud & gunk, by my Ex. May Lord bless, Mr. Barilla & give him wisdom & passion to continue on behalf of myself & my child, and demolish the Lies & drama forever! I believe life is finally going to improve, with help of this man!

I’m not one to normally post reviews. However, after reading the recent review for James I felt it important to post my dealings with James for the better part of the past 9+ years. There has NEVER been a time I didn’t trust James or felt he was taking advantage of the situation. James had the patience of a saint as he watched my ex-wife hire and fire over 9 attorneys. Unfortunately there are numerous attorneys who will thrive on your personal “misfortunes”. With James, he doesn’t look at dollar signs rather solutions to difficult situations that may arise throughout a divorce. He will protect you, provide you honest feedback, though it may not be what you want to hear, and most importantly not spend your money needlessly. What’s unique with James is the ability to pull the “emotion” out of the situation and provide honest legal guidance relative to any particular situation he’s given. Should you be seeking an attorney please do yourself a favor and contact James. Ask him for my name and number and I’ll be glad to go in greater detail. Just mention I need to speak with your client that had an “x” who hired and fired 9+ attorneys and dismissed the divorce the day before trial to only file again the following day. He’ll know.

I feel insulted by James and his very arrogant demeanor. He thinks he is always right and will win any case. I tried my best to work with him on a divorce case. He never returned phone calls or text messages. I do not recommend. Unless you want your case to proceed while being ignorant of the process or important details my opinion is hire him. If you want an attorney who is there for you at every moment. There's tons out there. There are lawyers I've had who went above the standard and attoeneynswered my calls at 3am if I needed them.

I hired James for a divorce case. He made sure to play dirty. I wanted everything done simply. Instead he made it a point to play both sides and continue to drag the case on by manufacturing stories and conditions which for both sides to want to buttheads. Very sly for someone to do. Divorce is painful enough and short term money goals mean more to him than being ethical.

Hes a good family attorney an get the job done

Finally a lawyer that understood what was needed and took care of it. Wouldn't use anyone else!!!!

Best attorney money can buy. He was always there for me when I needed him. He went above and beyond. He's trustworthy and reliable. Great experience all around!!!!

I sought legal advice from two attorneys prior to meeting with Mr. Barilla. I wasn't happy with either of the first two because I didn't feel like they listened, believed me, or would fight as hard as I knew they would need to. Mr. Barilla met me at my convenience and it was after normal business hours (which was extremely helpful because I work during the day). I told him what I wanted and what I was willing to settle for, and he was honest with me when he believed I was being realistic or unrealistic. He charged me a reasonable price, answered his phone on the weekends, and got me exactly what I wanted! Mr. Barilla comes highly recommended!

I have nothing bad to possibly say about James Barilla. For over 6 years I have turned to James for legal advice and guidance. He handled my divorce, my custody battle and even a speeding ticket. He handled my new husband's divorce as well. Knowledable, understanding and caring are only a few traits James treated us with. I wouldn't recommend anyone else. Meredith Sealy
