I am extremely grateful to have worked with Marie. Not only does she posses the knowledge and acumen needed in the courtroom, but most importantly she cares very deeply for your rights and for you as a person.

Marie Barnes is an Excellent choice for an attorney. She is very kind and thoughtful. Thanks to her, I have custody of my son today. She is a very family person and keeps one calm and cool while she takes the brunt of the heat. I would recommend her to everyone and will also hire her again. Thank you Marie :)

Marie was absolutely wonderful to work with! She assisted me with custody issues I was having with my ex. She was very professional, thorough, knowledgeable, efficient and reliable. She was thoughtful and really took the time to explain my rights and court processes. She understands what it means to be a good parent fighting for the right to be with your child. I will most definitely call on her again should the need arise. Thanks a million Marie! :)
