I would highly recommend hiring super satisfied

I could not speak more highly of Anne Roddy.

We have a very positive and rewarding experience with Alicia Finley, one of the attorneys at Barnes & Diehl. Our case was very complex and complicated because as grandparents we were seeking visiting privileges and eventually custody of our granddaughter. We had moved here from Greensboro, NC because the father had retained custody of the child after being absent from the child's life almost from birth. We were underrepresented by our attorney in Greensboro. We met first with the owner of the firm and he recommended Ms. Finley. She stepped in and took the time to understand and appreciate our granddaughter's situation. She took the time to get to know us and the role we had played in her life. The legal process took from 2018 to 2021 when we secured full physical and legal custody of our granddaughter. Ms. Finley leveraged her expertise and supported our mission. Most importantly, she is skilled in the legal processes and her court presence and knowledge played a significant role in this positive outcome. Her help in navigating the legal situation proved to be a key factor in getting what was the best for our grandchild. We both highly recommend her for any family domestic and custody needs that require legal attention.

My experience in the custody court has been a rollercoaster of emotions, but Harris Lenier at Barnes & Diehl has helped me feel confident about the process and prepared for the hearing since our first consultation. As a single father trying to retain custody, I'm told frequently by anyone I discuss my situation with that the system is stacked against me, and going to court is an uphill battle; however, working with Mr. Lenier has made me feel like any bias the system may have was totally irrelevant. Throughout the preparation process Mr. Lenier did an excellent job of keeping me informed of what outcomes were possible, while giving an accurate assessment of what he thought was likely. He came to the hearing more prepared than I would have thought possible, and presented the evidence I provided as well as the relevant case law he had researched with absolute professionalism and confidence. I was able to leave the hearing feeling like no angle was missed and everything relevant was covered. Thankfully the case has been decided in my favor so far, but even if I had lost my case, I would've left the courtroom feeling like every effort possible was made by Mr. Lenier and the team at Barnes and Diehl to succeed. I would sincerely recomend their services to anyone going through a custody case.

Mrs. Wind was very professional and responsive with my divorce. She and her assistant would get back to me with any questions or concerns I had in a timely manner. I would highly recommend Barnes and Diehl to anyone for family law.

I would highly recommend Alicia Finley and her staff. Alicia is professional and caring and never stops fighting for her client no matter what. She explained things clearly to me and always kept me up to date on the progress of my case. I was impressed with her skills in open court and being on top of things. In difficult circumstances, particularly in divorce, it helps to have confidence in your attorney and Alicia instills great confidence.

I have had the pleasure of working with Anne Roddy since 1/2020 (and we are still pushing forward with my case). She is absolutely amazing in the courtroom, professional and attached to the goals you may have. Anne has called me after hours on several occasions just to review my case and she travelled SIX HOURS to represent me. She comes to court early and completely prepared, obviously I can’t praise her enough! I highly suggest a consultation with Anne if you are looking for a true advocate for yourself and family.

Don’t look any further for an attorney. John Karanian is the best! John handled our case regarding grandparent visitation. My deceased daughter’s husband would not allow us to see our grandson. John was always very professional, returned all calls, and kept us informed at all times. John is very knowledgeable and has plenty of resources. If I had to note a negative about John, I could not think of even one. John’s psychology degree helped us make a decision also. Best of all, the case is over and our grandson just spent the night with us!

Great Law Firm to deal with. Was told how things would go and it went exactly as he said. This is my 3rd time using John Karanian and he was first class. Always on top of things and very professional. I would 100% recommend John and Barnes & Diehl, P.C. Had great outcome in all of my cases. Great for Divorce and Child custody cases.

We have used John 3 times in different cases with my husbands ex wife. He was very calm.... doesn’t get emotional but sticks to the law and the facts. I wouldn’t hesitate In recommending him!

I originally contacted this office for a consultant on a military divorce on Feb 4 asking them to email me to schedule. I immediately received a phone call, which would have been great if I hadn't specifically ask to email me instead. When I returned the call I left a message with the office administrator Cathy Patton and awaited her return call. In the meantime I had emailed a bit of my backstory and how I had encounter very cold and matter of fact lawyers and was looking for someone with compassion since I was going through such a tough time since I have been married almost 30 years. When Cathy called back there was no sympathy, no I'm sorry you are going through this, just I need facts. When I didn't have an answer to her questions she continued to be harsh and seemed annoyed with me at the fact I was upset and trying to hold it together while on the phone. That contact was on the 9th of February. I emailed Ms Patton on the 11th asking if there was anything else I need before a consultation could be scheduled, but no response. I then called the morning of the 12th and left a voice message, and on the 15th to no avail. I am so disappointed by this process.
