Barrett Legal is good people. They treat you as an individual and not just another ticket stub. They work with you. Kelsey sold me on Barrett Legal after maybe one minute on phone. Very helpful. Everyone in office was very polite and not in a rush to push me out of there. And trust me I was THAT GUY who showed up 5 mins before they closed. Even hired them one day before my court arraignment. They called me next morning and had me covered. I didn’t need to attend. I will always be thankful guys. I appreciate it.
I have such wonderful experience with this law firm, Kelsey is a such great help she goes above and beyond since day one of talking to her she help clarify the situation anytime I had any concerns or questions very honest witch I really appreciate! Barrett was just as amazing speaking with him really helped us I loved how honest he was about everything and up forward he was, answered every question we had about in our situation! Overall outstanding service from them and would recommend them to anyone!
I was unfamiliar with the process of family court and I had a hearing coming up fast. I call many different offices to discuss my situation. Out of all of them Barrett Legal stood out the most. Kelsey listened to me and answered all of my questions. With her help I felt prepared for what was coming next.
“I called because I needed answers and a clear plan for how to move forward with my legal issue. KELSEY was excellent—she was organized, attentive, and explained my options in a way that actually made sense. The professionalism and clarity in that first conversation really stood out. I would recommend this firm to anyone looking for guidance and solid communication.”
So they list an office in Perryton tx, when you go in there is an office with no furniture no phones
nothing it is unlocked. When you call to get answers your told oh yeah we only open our satellite offices for scheduled appointments. One wonders if you schedule an appointment in Perryton do you sit on the floor for the consultation.
Owner response
Thanks, Crispin! We just terminated our current lease for that location and are actively working toward another physical location for Perryton. Our owner still has a very active docket in the panhandle and is up there around 1 day a week. When we get another location we will be sure to get you a chair to sit in ;). Thanks for the heads up, we will work on disabling this location for the time being. In the meantime, if you’d like an appointment, let’s get you scheduled!
I was able to talk to the attorney owner within a few minutes. Very responsive and knowledgeable. Just call these guys. Kelsey and Barrett know what they're doing.
Owner response
Thank you so much for the kind words! We truly appreciate you taking the time to share your experience. Providing quick responses and knowledgeable guidance is very important to us, and we’re glad you felt supported right away. We appreciate your recommendation!
I highly recommend Barrett as a lawyer. From start to finish, he was professional, attentive, and genuinely cared about getting me the best outcome possible. I was the first case called due to pre-trial diversion, and we were in and out of court quickly-no long waiting around at all.
He was able to secure me the best-case scenario for my situation, which was such a huge relief. He explained everything clearly, kept me informed, and made the entire process way less stressful than I expected.
Barrett is a very nice guy, extremely attentive, and truly knows what he's doing. If you're looking for a lawyer who will fight for you and get results, he's the one. I'm beyond thankful for his help and would recommend him to anyone without hesitation.

Shelby Patterson and Sterling Brown were amazing and went above and beyond to help me get my case dismissed. They were helpful and communicative every step of the way. They were friendly and knowledgeable and made everything very easy. Getting signed up was easy as well. I can't thank those ladies enough for all their help. Don't hesitate. Call Barrett Legal if you need help!

We hired this law firm after paying an $8,500 retainer, based on assurances that our case would receive focused attention and capable representation. Unfortunately, our experience did not meet those expectations.
The attorney representing our family member arrived late and appeared underprepared for court, which we believe negatively affected the outcome of the case. We were later informed that additional payment is being requested to address issues related to that appearance, which has been frustrating.
We chose this firm because of their positive reviews, as well as what the firm stated they were capable of doing and the values they claimed to stand for. Based on our experience so far, those representations have not aligned with the level of service we received.
We feel it is important to provide honest reviews so others can make informed decisions and hopefully avoid finding themselves in a situation similar to the one we are currently facing. We are sharing this review in the hope that our experience will improve and that the firm will take steps to reflect the professionalism their reputation suggests.
Update:
After a meeting with the firm to address our concerns, we are feeling more optimistic about the path forward. We appreciate the opportunity for open discussion and clearer communication, and anticipate this will lead to improved outcomes and a more productive working relationship.

Rachel at the front desk is always very friendly and welcoming. Always ready to offer a drink during the short wait before seeing who you need to see. Kevin Willhelm is wonderful, supportive, and very patient.

I have personally known Shelby Patterson for many years and can tell you that her hard work and determination shows! She is a phenomenal paralegal and gives 110% in every area. You won’t regret asking for her by name!
