I absolutely could not recommend working with Mr. Barry enough. He was an amazing attorney to work with. He's very knowledgeable in all aspects of his profession and is very honest in his opinions on how things will work. He made me feel very comfortable to discuss my case and always kept me up to date in where we were in the process. He didn't hesitate to work on getting my case resolved fast and I appreciate all of his assistance. Highly recommend anyone needing help with credit callers to talk to Mr. Barry. Thank you so much!

Mr. Barry is an excellent attorney who fought for me in a recent dispute. He kept me informed of the process, clearly explained my options, and resolved the issue quickly and effectively. Most importantly, he listened and made me feel comfortable that he was a strong advocate for my rights - thank you Pete!

I was referred to Peter from my cancer center. I was being sued for an anesthesia bill under the claim I didn't have insurance. I've worked for the same company for over 20 year's. I've carried insurance from day 1. They came after me 5 year's after my surgery. This should have been a matter between the hospital & my insurance company. Because of Barry Law Office I didn't have to deal with any of this. Healing from cancer is stressful enough on it's own. I consider this my Christmas Miracle. My case has been dismissed. God has sent me Angels to walk beside me. Peter was one of them.

I can’t thank Pete Barry enough for the help I got with my case! I was dealing with super aggressive debt collectors, and it was really overwhelming. From our first meeting, he made me feel understood and supported. Mr. Barry really knew what he was doing and fought hard on my behalf. I felt like I had someone in my corner who genuinely cared. Thanks to his efforts, the calling stopped and my credit report was cleared. Thank you so much for everything!

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.
