Going through divorce is difficult enough and choosing the right divorce attorney is one of the most important decisions you will make. Your decisions during your divorce will impact the rest of your life. Even after a divorce is finalized, either spouse has the right to appeal the judgment, challenge the stipulation of settlement, or seek a modification of support.
You need straight answers and a lawyer with the experience and skills to obtain the solution that is right for you. A experienced appeals attorney will be able to craft a strong brief which will focus on errors made by the trial judge. An effective brief will be able to convey complex matters in a clear fashion to allow the appellate division to focus on the legal analysis.

Approximately half of all marriages end will end in divorce. When couples divorce, there are almost often significant financial issues which must be resolved. When there are children, custody, decision making, parenting time and child support must also be determined.
If there is a significant disparity in each spouse's financial resources, spousal maintenance may be appropriate, and the spouse with less money may have a right to an award of counsel fees.Many times couples do not marry. When these couples part ways, their rights are more limited than a divorce and alternate remedies such as partition actions and constructive trusts must be used to assert the rights they do have.

An appeal is a request for a higher court to review a court order for errors and to decide if these errors warrant a different outcome. The Appellate Division will have the exact same evidence that the trial court did, and the side taking the appeal is required to show where the errors, explain why they are errors, and argue why these errors affected the court's disposition of the underlying matter.
A foreclosure is a legal proceeding commenced by a lender to enforce payment on a loan by forcing a sale of the mortgaged property. The right to foreclose exists by the contract between the lender and the home owner. When a homeowner agrees to borrow money, they agree to give the lender the right to foreclose in the event of non payment.
When a person dies with a Last Will and Testament, the will is not binding until the court issues an order declaring valid and that its instructions be valid. Probate is the term for the court proceeding to obtain this decree. Following the issuance of the letters testamentary, the estate is then disposed of as provided in the will.
A constructive trust an a type of case that is used to establish ownership in an asset that is held by another. A lawyer may bring a constructive trust action as part of or along with a divorce proceeding. A close relationship between the parties is one element of a constructive trust, but there is no requirement they be married.

Doug has worked on my case tirelessly for over a year. His knowledge of the law and consideration of an exceedingly delicate situation has been extraordinary. He has both been incredibly professional and personable. I would recommend Doug to anyone who is in need of someone that is both caring and requires an attorney who is well-versed in the nuances of the law.
In my case, Doug was able to change a seemingly impossible situation - an "onion that needed to be peeled layer by layer" as he put it. He is very thoughtful of the fact that my ex is extremely abusive and helped prepare me for what abusers

A friend of mine who went through a divorce referred me to Doug. From the outset, I could tell Doug was different than other lawyers I spoke to. He cared about my case and I wasn’t just someone writing checks to him. He guided me throughout the entire process and explained everything to me. If you need a great attorney, definitely consider Doug Barics. You won’t be disappointed.

I retained Mr. Barics to handle my case and the outcome was better than he had predicted when we first met. He took the time to learn about my situation and learned all the facts inside and out. His representation was cost effective and his communication was prompt and fast. Many thanks to Mr. Barics

Mr. Barics represented me on a family law case a few years old. He did an awesome job on my case. He is intelligent, dedicated, personable and capable attorney, who put my fears to rest. He did that by explaining all the details that I needed to know about my case. Doug stuck with me throughout the long draw out battle with the other party. Mr. Barics is an educated and respectful person, and I would refer anyone to him that wants a good attorney that knows family law.

I spoke with three other lawyers and was told I had a complicated case that would be very expensive. I called Mr. Barics and he spent a lot of time listening and gave me a lot of information over the phone without charging me, which was a pleasant surprise. When we met in person, he answered all my questions. I hired Mr. Barics expecting my case to cost over $10,000. With his help, I was able to reach an agreement with my ex husband without going to court for only $2,500. THANK YOU SO MUCH!

There is so much irony in responding to my April 2015 review in September 2019, where my main complaint was lack of timeliness in responding to my correspondence.
My terrible review not only stands, but is reinforced by the fact that Barics was my ATTORNEY- and leaves details regarding my personal life (although inaccurate) and case in a Yelp review.
Confidentiality? Clearly not a priority.
Reported this breach of confidentiality to the Grievance Committee for the Tenth Judicial District today.
Find another lawyer. Fast.

I used Mr. Barics for my divorce over ten years ago and was very happy with his services. He has handled several other legal matters for me since then and I am always pleased with his representation. I have referred him to several people over the years and they have been happy with his work. He is an excellent lawyer.

I hired Doug Barics during a time that was incredibly difficult for me. He was very patient and understanding. He kept guiding me back to what I needed to focus on and his kindness kept me going. One meeting in particular was very emotional for me. When Doug said there was no charge it made me realize he understood what I was going through and that he would not take advantage of me. Doug is a great lawyer and a superb human being. I would absolutely refer him to anyone who needs an attorney.

I had an attorney and was not happy with her services. I consulted several lawyers, all of whom wanted my case for a significant retainer. I consulted with Mr. Barics who reviewed my case, and said that my current counsel was properly representing me. He explained in detail what should be done and what to do if the judge didn't do what she was supposed to do.
I was ready to change lawyers, and Mr. Barics was high on the list. However, his honesty in telling me to stay with my current counsel and declining to accept a large retainer is worthy of mention.

Fantastic attorney! When I first called Doug he spent a good hour on the phone with me at no charge. He was knowledgeable and listened to me, and gave me more advice by phone than I got from the other lawyers I spoke to combined.
I met Doug in his office, and retained him after that. He formed a plan of action and stated right away. I must say that his sense of humor and confidence made all the difference.
When I got my first bill, I couldn’t believe that so much of it was no charge. Doug told me he did that to make sure there I felt I could speak to him without watching the clock. It made
