Charges $45 for every email he opens. Charges for text messages. Charges for waking up in the morning. Accomplished nothing.

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.

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 typically make their next steps. In doing so, I have been better able to care for my children in devastating circumstances. He also has helped me better understand the legal process and what is typical vs atypical in the court room. Having that background, the legal jargon and proceedings were easier to comprehend in what has previously been very overwhelming.

While my case is not finished yet, I expect Doug to keep fighting with the veracity and intelligence that he has exhibited thus far and will post again at the conclusion of my case! I think the best I can say so far is thank you for everything Doug!

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.

I stayed with my existing attorney, and the case proceeded nearly exactly how Mr. Barics predicted it would.

I did not retain Mr. Barics then, but I am impressed he would decline a client when he felt the client was properly represented with current counsel.

My former attorney has since retired and if I need new counsel Mr. Barics would be my first choice.

I recommend the Law Office of J Douglas Barics. Mr Barics answered many of my questions in the free phone consultation. When I retained him he took my case very seriously. His fees were fair and reasonable and I am very happy with the results.

I was thoroughly satisfied with Mr.Barics. He helped me through a difficult divorce explaining everything to me step by step.
He was patient and understanding and extremely knowledgeable.. I highly recommend him

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

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 a huge difference because Doug was well prepared when we met for a four way conference.

My wife’s attorney seemed like he was learning about the case for the first time, and he charged a lot more than Doug charged me.

I am really happy that he is on my side. Hiring Doug was the best decision I made because I can’t imagine how things would be without him as my attorney.

I strongly recommend Doug Barics as an attorney.

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!

Mr. Barics was tenacious and passionate in representing me. I am very satisfied with his service and was very impressed how much he dedicated himself to helping me.

I met Attorney Barics and he spent a lot of time answering all my questions. I thought i had to spend a lot of money for a divorce lawyer but he explained to me that all I needed was a separation agreement. He wrote one for me and we were done in two months. God bless Attorney Barics

Mr. Barics provided excellent service. i recommend him to anyone who needs an honest divorce 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 was very fortunate to find Mr. Barics and have him as my attorney. When I first came to his office I was distressed after almost two years of getting nowhere with my first lawyer who was getting very expensive. Mr. Barics was patient and reassured me he would find a way to help. Mr. Barics explained everything very clearly. His fees were fair and reasonable. I was impressed that he figured out how to solve my case in three weeks, something my first lawyer couldn’t do in two years. I highly recommend the services of Mr. Barics.

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.

This lawyer did nothing on my case would not even answer emails from opposing counsel. BE WARNED DO NOT RETAIN HIM. I am reporting him to the NY Bar as he is now attempting to hold my file hostage unless I pay him $1000 when he has done nothing on my case, by his own admission. He needs to be reprimanded for his very unprofessional actions. He only wants money cares nothing about your case. Not a lawyer you want representing you.

About all I can say is he showed up and other than attempt to continue the case and add $ to his bill, he had nothing to contribute. I got no value by using his service and could have saved both time and money by avoiding representation which is what he should have told me up front if all he was going to do is show up.
