Nothing but good things to say about Kara Barton and her staff. Divorce is not an easy time in anyones life, it's something that no one ever plans for. They were very quick to answer any questions and concerns I had throughout the entire process. Always professional, very down to earth and extremely easy to work with. I thank them for making a very difficult time much more calm. I always knew where I stood and what my options were. I strongly recommend them for anyone going through the same thing or even contemplating it. Thank you

A year ago, I was facing a difficult divorce. I knew I needed to hire an attorney who was smart, tough, and effective to get through it. Kara came highly recommended by a friend as just that kind of attorney. Kara is not only smart and competent, she is also a great listener, compassionate, and empathic. She understood the dynamics of my situation in one consultation and worked according to my needs throughout the divorce process. What amazed me most about Kara was her ability to put my best interests first, even when it wasn’t in her best interest. She approached every obstacle we faced during the divorce with a thoughtful, cost-effective strategy, saving me time, money, and the stress of going to court. Kara’s paralegal, Brooke, was amazing throughout the process as well. She is knowledgeable, organized, and always available to answer questions. I called her frequently to ask about my case or share my fears and concerns with her. She was always kind, patient, and able to put my mind at ease. Divorce and starting over is never easy. However, because of the all the effort put into my case by Kara and Brooke, I have a solid foundation on which to build a wonderful new life. They would not let me settle for anything less. I can’t recommend BartonWood enough, nor overstate the gratitude I feel for all they’ve done for me.

I spent years with another law firm where I never felt my divorce case mattered. Once I found Kara Barton all that changed. She immersed herself into the details of my case! In fact, I was often surprised at how knowledgeable she was about subtle details that were often overlooked by my former law firm. Ultimately, Kara was able to resolve a very complicated case in mediation and saved me money, time and stress. I would highly recommend BartonWood to anyone looking for divorce/family legal council.

Amazing experiences definitely helped

The best! They handle everything you need, Brooke is amazing and always kept me in the loop. Fast responses. Unfortunately I’ve have used them 2 times but fortunately they had my back both times. Highly recommend using them.

Ashely Wood is an amazing lawyer. She will provide excellent guidance she draws from many years of experience with family law. She is honest and direct while she serves with care. No stress, just efficient and supportive.

I am so beyond happy to have found this law firm. It is not a pleasant experience to go through divorce or child custody by all means. It really helps when you have an attorney who is supportive, knowledgeable and there for you to help you through everything and fight for what is right. I have had the best experience with Bartonwood, with my amazing attorney who is seasoned/brilliant and very experienced along with their incredible paralegal who also understands how going through the process is emotionally draining and taxing. Their entire team is there for me whenever I have questions or concerns which I feel is very important. I am so grateful to them and recommend them above all others when your in need of legal council regarding family law.

I used Ashley and Brooke in 2019 to make an adjustment to my child support. My former spouse fought it. They prepared very well all of the financial statements, docs, and responses and came to court more knowledgeable and prepared than opposing counsel. I feel confident in recommending Ashley for financial-legal issues related to child support and divorces. She understands the financial and legal worlds and represented me well. Thank you.

I have hesitated for 2 years to complete this review in hopes that Ashley Wood had some "wisdom" that i simply could not ascertain in my divorcing nightmarish mental state. Ashley's reunification was written so that therapist had zero enforcement ability b/c written as "child's" therapist when really therapist needs authority over whole family. Ashley also submitted my "financials" to the court without me ever seeing them. At mediation end i had never seen my financials nor those of the spouse; therefore, i never knew that the children's education savings plans were never declared by the ex. I dollar cost averaged into those 529b plans from birth under my spouses' ownership never knowing that they are not fiduciary minor accounts so money can be pilfered by the owner parent for fast cars or silicone implants. Ashley never pulled financials out to verify the mediators child support. The mediator took my support number from the columns for 1 child each under 1 roof rather than 2 children under a shared roof. This was approximately $5k over 2017-2019 in extra support to the ex. I paid Ashley around $20k for a swiss cheese decree. Following her payment at mediation, Ashley "withdrew" as my counsel b/c i expected her to go get half of the 529b plan under my stewardship. Ashley should be disbarred. She was just that woefully inept. I will say the office was convincing and Ashley's regal attire and tall stature gave me a false perception of skill and safety. I had a referral. I don't know how you hire an attorney; they demonstrate entitled and withholding.

Ashley Wood recently counseled me through my divorce. I was very impressed with her attention to detail, responsiveness and honest candor. She is a seasoned veteran of family law and I would highly recommend her services to anyone looking for a top-notch divorce attorney. Her paralegal Brooke was also fantastic to work with and at times was a voice reason for me during difficult times. I highly recommend BartonWood if you are looking for a family law attorney.
