I met with Emily a few years ago for an initial consultation as I faced divorce. Immediately I sensed I was in the company of a brilliance. Emily listened to my entire story, helped me establish my footing and actually advised me to not become her client. She correctly predicted a cut and dry case that did not require her services. Emily's expert advise and honesty encouraged me to proceed independently.

I wish I hired Daryn 18 months earlier. That's how long it took me to realize I needed someone to fight for me, to listen to me, and to explain my rights as a Father to me. Divorce is terrible. It's emotional, confusing and expensive. Daryn, AKA #TheCloser, transformed those into stability, clarity and value. My case had drug on for 18 months before I had the courage to retain new counsel... it only took her 4 days to negotiate the settlement and have it turn out favorably on my behalf. Four days! That is miracle working speed. I do not know how she does it and I don't really need to know- all I know is that I'm grateful. Grateful for her expertise, grateful for her strategic mind and most importantly grateful for her customer service. Having communications returned in a day? Having expectations set and met? Laughing and having fun with the negotiations? I truly didn't know any of that was possible. She is truly worth her weight in Gold. If you're exhausted, confused or hopeless in your legal situation- just call her. It really can be an easier process. There is a reason she has a perfect rating- cause she earns it and walks the walk! Thank you Daryn!

Daryn made me feel 100% confident and had my full trust during such a scary and hard part of my life. She walked me through everything in my case and made things incredibly easy. Had the absolute best possible outcome, even better than I could of imagined. And walked away happier than ever. Could not of picked a better person to represent me and my daughter. Forever grateful for her.

Doug Barker has been my Attorney for almost 6 years now. He has been so amazing to me and my family. I reached out to Mr. Barker from Florida needing an Attorney in SC to fight for my rights to see my daughter on a consistent basis. He and his team have worked wonders and exceeded my expectations. Lawyers are expensive these days but I tell everyone I speak to about my situation that Doug Barker and his practice Barker Family Law are worth every penny.

Not honest.

EGJ Family Law (Emily) has been a wonderful, trusted help thru the years in understanding how to rationally manage changing circumstances with my family. She does an excellent job in thinking thru the best outcome for the family - providing advice that holds the kids at the center of the decision; but in addition, understanding and helping me with my needs.

Great law firm!

So I’ve been in a situation for a while with the mother of my children which I will not go into deep detail about, however on September 25th, 2019 I was granted legal joint custody for my awesome children. Moving forward the mother had left the state of South Carolina prior to the hearing on 9/25, and with that being her 8th move in 5 different states I figured I would still have the upper hand. Wrong! So I decided to reach out to Ms. Daryn Barker for legal advice and I explained the entire situation and also scanned my court docs over for her to review. Note: I’m an African American Man and it pleases me to see Caucasian Americans who care about African American fathers having major roles in their children’s lives especially male children. Moving forward, so we spoke the same day I reached out (surprisingly) and I could feel the passion and pain she had after hearing my situation. She listened and listened more and gave me honest answers along with sympathy. Ms. Daryn Barker then told me she’s going to review and look into a few things later that evening about my case and get back to me the following day. She kept her word and we spoke about the situation the next day. Now although she wouldn’t be able to assist me because of a certain law in place (mom) has been gone for more than 6 months out of the state, however she gave me the best answer she could and I followed up the same day with the Clerk of Court in Florida where (mom) is located to get it resolved and what do you know boom all I have to do is get the order registered so it’ll be enforced, because (mom) is has been giving me an extremely hard time. There’s no words to express the gratitude I have for this woman/lady/superstar lawyer! Now understand this she offers a free consultation, I offered to pay she refused I offered again she refused again, and her last words were “I care about people” need I say more! Thank you, God is truly going to deliver prosperity and longevity in your life, and there’s no weapon formed against you shall prosper and that’s something you can count on! Be well.

Daryn has been a God send! She worked with me every step of the way since I live in Texas. I recommend her to anyone who is going through a custody battle. She helped me gain sole custody of my son. I will never be able to thank her enough.

The service we received from Daryn Barker during a challenging time was so far above and beyond. Daryn is competent, prepared and thorough!! She also genuinely cares about her clients, and she devotes her exceptional skills to insure the best outcome possible for them. We are very thankful that Daryn was able to secure 100% custody when we were being challenged. She is an exceptional lawyer.

I was terrified of what was to come just a few short months ago. I wasn’t expecting, after 6 years, for my child’s father to suddenly want custody of our daughter. I shut down, and felt like I couldn’t function. I was scared, but the second Daryn walked into the conference room to meet me, she brought peace to the whole situation. She is extremely professional, and as soon as I met her, I knew she was going to fight for me. She made me feel like what was important to me, was just as important to her. She has been honest, and ensured I understood the reality of the situation. I didn’t realize how much time and effort she put into my case until I saw how little my ex’s lawyer put into his case. I know God had his hand in the situation, and still does, and I am so thankful for Daryn and her team.
