He has worked with clients from all walks of life on even the most complex cases to hold negligent parties accountable. With a goal of securing maximum compensation, Mr. Barnes is a fierce litigator but can also negotiate settlements when appropriate.
Throughout the course of his career, Mr. Barnes has built a reputation of successfully representing people who have suffered an injury. Whether he is obtaining a favorable jury verdict or reaching a sizable settlement, he always prioritizes a clientÂ’s best interests.
