The Barrett & Farahany law firm called me back, after I requested their help. And I spoke to Ms. Kaye, she did my first evaluation. And I really enjoyed the call. She was very professional, kind, patient and cool. She asked me the right questions, actively listened and gave me the confidence that I was truly heard and understood. I am very glad I got in touch with their law firm. And Ms. Kaye informed me that even if their law firm cannot help me, they would refer me to law firms and lawyers who can help me. I am very satisfied and happy with my intake evaluation. And I really hope they can help me. But if not, they can refer me to someone else who can. Very professional and trustworthy. Thank you. I am grateful.Read more

I cannot recommend Attorney Charleen Barnwell enough. Our consultation provided clear, sound, and honest advice that helped me navigate a complex situation with complete confidence. She listened, explained my options without legal jargon and outlined a strategic path forward. If you are looking for a knowledgeable, sharp, and trustworthy attorney and legal advocate, look no further!Read more

AWFUL EXPERIENCE WITH THIS LAW FIRM SINCE DAY ONE! BLACK PEOPLE BEWARE!! I should've never signed with them. There were so many Red flags!! I had a very negative intake experience with this weird guy who referenced stripping and did a background check on me while we were speaking about the facts of the case. He was deposing me instead of doing an intake process. Fast forward, I wrote a negative review and the managing partner Amanda Farahany reached out and offered to review my case, she gave me over to Attorney Ianna Campbell which I actually really liked. But unfortunately she was pregnant and took an unexpected long leave of absence very shortly after I signed with her. I had no choice in who'd replace her and got partnered with an out of state Attorney Kathryn Abernethy who has no license in Georgia. She seemed nice and knowledgeable about my case in the beginning...Until communication issues became a problem, I was not getting updates to make informed decisions about my case. She was verbally discussing offers instead of sending written offers, she did not respect my role as the client making the ultimate decisions and providing instructions. Kathryn along with the help of Monica Garcia sabotaged my employment claim. I asked Kathryn some questions relevant to my case and she responded calling me HOSTILE AND DISRESPECTFUL with no valid reason. After I show with the managing partner Monica she agreed that the words hostile was not appropriate. I told her that I could move forward with Kathryn only with an apology. Kathryn offered no apology and proceeds to tell me that she should've said that she was "insulted, that my questions were an insult to her 25 years of experience ". I asked Monica to be placed with another attorney. Monica refused with no reason provided and said that my only choice was to continue working with Kathryn. I refused. So they dropped me as a client and blamed it on me to the courts. They left me in a terrible predicament with my case. Can they do this all while knowing my grandmother was in the hospital with weeks left to live. My grandmother died while all of this transpired. Monica Garcia and Kathryn Abernethy acted unethically and abused their position of power. They conspired against me and plotted on dropping my case before I even had the chance to talk to Monica. MY ADVICE DON'T SIGN WITH THIS FIRM, ESPECIALLY IF YOU'RE BLACK AND INTELLIGENT. They won't even respect you as a client to be able to ask them questions about your case. NOW MY GRANDMOTHER IS GONE AND IM LEFT WITH A CASE THAT NO ATTORNEY WANTS TO ACCEPT TO ACCEPT SO FAR INTO LITIGATION. And they knew that this would happen. They continued talking to opposing counsel long after I advised them not to. They are coldhearted people and awful attorney's to sabotage a case like that. When I told Kathryn that my grandmother was in the hospital dying, she laughed. Monica FAILED to hold Kathryn accountable and failed to provide unbiased management regarding my complaint on Kathryn. Kathryn has a BIG EGO and may even be racist for all I know from her actions and behavior. I filed a complaint on both Monica and Kathryn, and I will continue to do so until a formal grievance is opened on my behalf. I may even consider the option of a lawsuit against Barret and Farahany since the codes of ethics were broken and violated. 0 stars, DO NOT RECOMMEND. I emailed Amanda Farahany about this, no response. Of course!!!Read more

I’ve been dealing with an extremely difficult situation with my employer, a public agency, using public funds to finance a personal campaign against me and others. Finding an attorney willing to even look at the facts has been incredibly hard, and trying to navigate all of this has been enormously stressful, so initially, meeting with the attorneys at Barrett & Farahany felt like the first real moment of hope I’d had in months. They listened, took my situation seriously, and on Friday told me they would take my case. They said I would receive the retainer agreement shortly. I relied on that. When I hadn't heard from them by EOB Friday, I emailed them, and then again on Monday. Asking that if something had changed, and there was some question about whether they would take my case, to please just let me know so I could prepare accordingly. They knew about my situation and how my FMLA is counting down. The only response I got was to say they were traveling and would get back to me. I said a sigh of relief, because surely if something had changed, they would have communicated that, right? As my friend pointed out when I gave him the explanation: they're a national law firm, and all staff capable of sending a retainer agreement are traveling? I should've known, but I decided to give them the benefit of the doubt. Well, then the call today (Tuesday) came, and not even in the morning, they didn't let me know until 3PM this afternoon, wasting another precious business day I could've spent finding someone else; with no warning and no prior communication, they did a complete 180 and told me they could no longer take my case. No explanation, no clarification, no feedback, nothing. Just an abrupt reversal after telling me they were moving forward. Being dropped without any reason left me with few options and in an even worse situation than before. I paused intakes with other firms because I believed I finally had representation. Instead, I was left without answers at a moment when I needed stability the most. This experience was destabilizing and deeply disappointing. They couldn't even do me the decency of responding to confirm receipt or give me an answer about my alternate proposal, which ultimately shows how little they really cared about my situation and success. If you are in a vulnerable position and need a firm that stands by its word, follows through on commitments, and understands the impact their decisions have on people’s lives, I would recommend going with someone else, as they obviously don't take those responsibilities seriously. I'll update my review, once I end up finding a different attorney to help me.Read more
