Slip & Fall Case

I live in Augusta, GA which is about 2 hours from the Atlanta area. I was referred to The Barnes Law Firm by a sorority sister of mine. I am so glad she made this referral. Everybody down to the receptionist was nice, knowledgeable, and helpful. Being 2 hours away, I never felt as if nobody cared. Attorney Barnes and her staff always kept me informed of what was going on. I could call or message at any time and always got an answer. She advised wisely on the best plans of action. Attorney Barnes got me way more money than expected! I’m forever grateful to her and her staff. I even received a Christmas card in the mail. It was nice to still be thought of. Professional and knowledgeable. I highly recommend.

An experience I will never forget
I am 23 years old and had no idea what to expect. This was my first offensive charge and I was extremely scared. As soon as I met with Ms. Barnes, she instantly made me feel comfortable and assured me she would do her best to represent me and strive to get the results that I wanted. She kept me well informed and made me feel very at ease during the entire process. She stayed in contact with me constantly and when I had a question she would always answer. She actually called me to keep me updated with what she was doing in the process of my case. I knew what was done, what was being done, and what would happen next. She also kept me informed with her client profile page. She sets you up with a profile and you feel as if you are receiving individual treatment. In this profile you could see any and all documents she acquired.

Excellent Service with Personal Injury Claim
I was involved in an auto accident in November 2015. Fortunately, I was not at fault for the accident. However, my auto was totaled. I also suffered back and arm injuries. A friend of mine recommended that I contact Attorney Latasha Barnes. My experience with Attorney Barnes from beginning to end was positive and very professional. My initial meeting with Attorney Barnes was informative and personable. She explained in detail the process of a personal injury claim. It was obvious that she was knowledgeable and competent. I was most appreciative of the time she took to make certain that I was educated on the process. Attorney Barnes was very responsive - calls and emails were answered promptly. On numerous occasions, I spoke with Attorney Barnes via telephone. The conversations were friendly and helpful. I was impressed with the ease of downloading/uploading documents and emailing via the "My Case" software that is available to her clients. Attorney Barnes worked diligently on my case. I saw first hand how she persevered with insurance companies and medical billing offices. I am grateful for her hard work that resulted in a significant settlement for me. Although I hope that I will not need legal services in the future, Attorney Barnes would be my first choice for a Personal Injury Attorney. I would highly recommend her to friends and family.

She is a great lawyer!
Latasha and I had many cases together over the years while she was a prosecutor in Fulton County State Court. She was ALWAYS incredibly prepared and knew the facts and law inside and out. She was a true pleasure to work with - wish they all were like her - an incredibly intelligent prosecutor that used common sense. I am so happy that she will now be defending the accused with the same passion and vigor. She is simply a fantastic lawyer and person. I highly recommend Latasha.

This is a very competent lawyer.
I got a passing a stopped school bus ticket in Georgia. I had consulted this lawyer and she was eventually hired by me. Her fee is very affordable and reasonable. My lawyer, Ms. Barnes, represented me in the court. In less than 10 minutes, we walked out of the court, I paid the reduced fine and the whole case was over. No points. No warnings. No traffic school or community service. I do keep my driver license after all. If I received another traffic violation against me in the State of Georgia, I will definitely hire Ms. Latasha Vinson Barnes again

The best Criminal Attorney
I had a probation violation case from 2015 and had hired two other attorneys prior to me hiring Attorney Barnes and they were unable to help me. After reading great reviews of Attorney Barnes on avvo.com I decided to hire her and I’m so thankful I did. Attorney Barnes had my case close in only a few weeks. And my family and I are forever grateful to her for that. She made me feel as though my case was a priority, she kept me in the loop of what was going on, courteous, and professional. She resolves my case when no one else could, couldn’t ask for a better attorney

Injury case
I was so lost, I have not been in a car accident before that was injury related. She walked me through it and was very detailed about what was going on, what to do and where to go. Everything went as planned and I really appreciate everything she has done for me and she has helped my family tremendously. Thank you Mrs. Barnes, you are a great lawyer.
