Barger & Gaines

Highly recommend- Extremely responsive and genuinely care about the families they work with. Paul Barger is extremely knowledgeable and worked efficiently and tirelessly to help get the services our child needed. We would not have been successful without Paul's help.

I recommend Lori Gaines and the entire staff of Barger & Gaines. From the moment I contacted Barger & Gaines, I was supported with compassion and legal guidance regarding the process and what steps could be taken to assist my child. Phyllis, my first point of contact, was extraordinary in helping me feel heard. Tamara, Lori's paralegal was detailed and communicative with me always. Most of all, Lori Gaines was thorough and direct letting me know my options and the risks involved. None of us could predict how the district would proceed and it wasn't long before we found ourselves going through the entire process of unilaterally placing our child, experiencing two rounds of mediation and ultimately a complete due process hearing that took months to complete. Lori's natural ability to lay out for the court the circumstances that brought us there while showing the data to support our program needs, contributed to a very clear case for the judge. Even in the most difficult days awaiting decision from the judge, I knew that regardless of what the outcome would be, we had absolutely done our very best to present the facts to the court and I couldn't have asked for more than that. In the end, the judge ruled in favor of my family and we could all celebrate what we had accomplished together. I am forever grateful to have chosen Barger & Gaines. This legal group's professionalism and service is what you must have when faced with a situation that involves the most precious people in your life.

The best decision my husband and I made, was calling Barger and Gaines. I can't say enough about their knowledge, professionalism, and care. Like anyone who has a child with special needs, we were at a point were we didn't know what to do. Our child was falling farther and farther behind in school and we were watching his mental state slowly decline. Barger and Gaines helped us get the services he needed and deserved. He is now learning and thriving in school. They saved our child and our family.

You and your children are in good hands with Paul Barger and the attorneys in his practice. They worked tirelessly on our case to ensure my son received what he needed in school. They changed our lives forever and we are grateful to have worked with them. We highly recommend their services! 5 star service!!!

B&G are a diamond in the industry. From the initial conciliation, to your final meeting with the attorney, you can be rest assured that you got the best advice and advocacy possible. Regardless of outcome. I would recommend their services to anyone!!
