Dominique Mills2024-09-29Peter Barry is an exceptional attorney. If you're looking for someone who will truly fight for you, he's the one. Pete knows exactly what he's doing, and you can trust him to get the job done. Whenever I had a question or felt anxious, he took the time to walk me through everything, patiently explaining each step until I felt at ease. He kept me consistently updated on my case, always reassuring me that everything would turn out fine, making the process much easier than I anticipated. I can't thank Pete enough for his dedication and hard work. It feels like a huge weight has been lifted from my shoulders. Pete, you are incredibly intelligent, kind-hearted, and down-to-earth. Anyone would be fortunate to have you as their attorney!Raechel Bailey2024-07-19Peter Barry is an amazing attorney. He took time out of his day to consult with me over a very stressful issue. He walked me through what I needed to do. He made sure I understood what my next steps were , with his humor, kindness and wisdom I was more confident and comfortable after our phone call. I encourage anyone who needs representation to give Peter a call and a chance to fight on your behalfRenee PetVanDuck2024-01-26Very difficult to review Mr. Barry's legal representation, when he doesn't respond. Emailed 3 times, waited well over a month. Must be a personal grudge. Strange, I used his firm twice before with his partner. I find it remarkable that at 5am Mr. Barry had time to reply to my review but never had time to answer my messages. Wow.Markus Veirs2023-12-18Gave me some straight advice, no beating around the bush. Spent time with me and didn’t even charge me. When you can get communication like this in today’s world, you better take it especially if it’s one for the courts.Ramesch Vardan2023-09-22Peter. I can’t thank you enough for the time and effort you put in listening to my issue and putting my mind at ease. Considering that this was an initial free evaluation, I really appreciate the time spent in how you broke things down to help me understand my situation . Love how you explained things in an easy and with a great sense of humor! You are absolutely my contact for further consultation!Juliana Arana Santiago2023-08-02Seems to know what he’s doing, but not the most professional concerning integrity and communication. My husband and I had a good talk with him, but after that, no follow up and we even emailed several times.Ben Serra2023-03-09Peter was able to find me and help me obtain my large settlement check; I was very gracious that he put the time in to look for me so I could get my just settlement. Great people on this team for sure!podz12023-02-08Peter went above and beyond for me. I highly recommend him for amy needs he can help you with. It was an extreme pleasurejake armato2022-09-27I came to Peter after connecting with dozens of different lawyers over the past 2 years. Our 30 minute conversation was more helpful and reassuring then the hours and hours and thousands of dollars I’d spent with other attorneys up until now (god I wish I was exaggerating!). AND the man had the grace to chat with me after 5:30pm on a Friday, past his office hours. What kind of lawyer does that? Peter was sharp, strategic, insightful, deeply knowledgeable, and above all compassionate and empathic. I left our conversation feeling hopefully about my situation for the first time in years. I wish I had come across him sooner. By far the best, most trustworthy lawyer with a talent for listening to his clients and accompanying them through whatever they’re going through. I would trust the man with my life. Can not recommend him enough. 12/10 stars.

Our Common Values
We live here. We work here. We care passionately about our clients. We strive mightily to do well by always doing good. Our pro bono and community volunteer work changes lives because that’s the only way to make meaningful change. If it’s all about money, what’s it all about? We never forget that we’re no better, no busier, and no more important that the person at the other end of that call.
We strive to always put our client’s interests first and, by doing so, serve the cause of justice. Since 1996, we’ve passionately pursued cases that made a difference for the consumers for whom we work. That means always answering the phone even when it’s hard. Always returning calls, even when the news isn’t great. Never sugarcoating the reality of a consumer’s situation but always reminding ourselves of the humilty of our postion. Never forgetting that being a lawyer is a privilege and not a right. Always trying to be of help to those whose cases we cannot take by sending them to the right lawyer whenever possible.
And, always putting our clients first because without them there is no success.
