Law Office Of Barry J. Boxer

I have known and worked with Barry for almost 20 years. He represented me in an extremely contentious and unusual divorce. At the time I hired Barry, he was my third attorney. My prior attorneys did not believe the terrible things that I told them were going on in my home. Their lack of support, combined with the toll that the abuse was taking on my physical and mental state, led to me being at risk of losing my two very young children. Barry believed me from the instant I met him and immediately went to work to protect me and my kids. Within a few months of hiring him, my (now) ex-husband had been removed from the house. Barry is a wonderful attorney. He is kind, caring and patient. He is also reasonable and fair. He will support you and fight for you with passion and dignity. He will listen to you and give you solid advice. Barry is a true gentleman who is extremely well respected in his field. He has the respect of judges, court staff and even adversaries due to his always professional demeanor. Divorce lawyers in general have a terrible reputation. They see people at their most vulnerable and sometimes use that to their advantage to run up the bill. Barry is the complete opposite of this stereotype. He is a calm voice of reason who will guide you and support you through this difficult process and even hold your hand if that's what you need. Barry literally saved my life. He started out as my lawyer and has now become my friend.

Over a 10-year period, Barry litigated twice on my behalf, working a severe situation against my vindictive former wife. He was an invaluable source of advice and support. I recommend him without reservation. Barry was referred to me in 2004 by the then-president of the New York Chapter of the American Academy of Matrimonial Lawyers, Sylvia Goldschmidt. She had been impressed by his performance against her during an unrelated case. At that time, my former wife’s attorney had stymied Sylvia and her staff, stalling communications while blocking visitation. Within weeks, Barry broke through the barriers and brilliantly negotiated a post-divorce settlement with detailed ground rules. The truce ended years of dispute. In 2008, my former wife heard that my second marriage was distressed, and found this a good opportunity to flout the agreement and cut off visitation again. Barry advised me through multiple hurdles as I tried to circumvent her efforts to alienate my daughters. During this process I learned that Barry is a passionate matrimonial lawyer because he is a child of divorce who has suffered divorce himself. As a custodial parent of two devoted daughters, he is deeply motivated to optimize the situation for his clients’ children. Wrestling this estrangement went on for years. Breaths of success were finally suffocated by domestic propaganda. My daughters were never able handle this openly or fairly, and to this day I do not hold them responsible for our sad outcome. But in 2013 I was left with no choice but to petition the court for emancipation. In 2013-2014 Barry engaged my court case with rigor and intensity that I have not seen with other attorneys. During preparation, he was always able to deliver my testimony more effectively than I could myself. This requires deep understanding. He was endlessly patient, working through each and every concern. Barry has a passion for Broadway, and as preparations matured I was impressed by his artistic directorship and ability to similarly generate a captivating presentation. Despite this meticulous attention, he was also efficient. He worked with the Court to avoid billing me for empty time. His billings were fair and he did not charge me for housekeeping correspondence, such as scheduling, simple questions, and forwarding material. (Most top-notch attorneys will bill you with any contact.) In the end, Barry turned a dreaded court ordeal into a life-enhancing experience. My former wife lost her support payments. This was highly unusual. This successful verdict in a challenging case stands as separate testimony to Barry’s effectiveness.

Barry handled my very challenging and lengthy divorce and was always accessible and responsive. He truly was concerned about the well being of me and my children throughout the entire process and was always kind and caring. He is an extremely knowledgeable and respectful attorney. He is well respected in his field and throughout the court system. He worked diligently to keep my divorce out of trial and although it took awhile due to my ex, was successful. His assistant attorney, Cheryl Jakinovich, is also an amazing attorney who was present and helpful throughout. Her thoroughness and attention to detail were superior. I will always be grateful for their advice and support! Divorce is rarely an easy process and many times we need to make compromises along the way. People are hurt and angry. It is easy to blame our attorneys, but typically it is not their fault how our spouses and family behave. If reading negative reviews, one should always keep that in mind :)

Recently my eldest son and his wife were blessed with a baby girl. It was a joyful momment to be sure and it gave me time to reflect on my good fortunes. Connecting the dots backward brought me to the care, competence and concern that Mr. Fisher showed during my divorce many year ago. While others tried to muddy the waters to line their pockets, Barry tried to calm the waters. He was available and never rushed. Being a father himself, he often took into consideration the possible impact of any actions - legal, financial, the usual anger from both sides - on our son. He was the voice of reason when my world went mad. He keeps in touch from time to time and my wife of now more than 25 years adores him. What more can any one say?

Barry is a money hungry attorney. He takes all your money and hardly does any Thing. He charges you again and doesn't finish his job.His arrogant and billutles people. He puts his hands on you and says your sarcastic. Hes divorced himself because his sarcastic. Hes useless and abusive attorney. He is very sarcastic and has no feelings for his client.
