We had such an excellent experience with Atty. Barthel's service. My husband had been a victim of fraud, and on top of that his Apple account had also been compromised with money stored in his Apple Cash. We were not able to receive any help from Apple after multiple attempts of trying to get in contact with them. That is when we decided that we will need to get a lawyer and was referred to Atty. Nick. We had a pretty long journey with our case with Apple but Atty. Nick definitely helped us every step of the way by getting everything we needed to fight the case. He was able to get all the evidence that were needed and guide us on what was needed to be done even prior to attempting to file a case. Atty. Barthel was truly helped us significantly in winning our case. My husband and I are truly happy with the service he provided. All the waiting was all worth it while he was trying to work things for us on the back end. He also provided us with great communication giving us updates. Will definitely recommend Attorney Barthel and will forever be thankful that we had been referred to him! He has been very considerate of not just my husband, but also our family as a whole. He gave us hope and relief the moment he made his first phone call to my husband. Definitely voting him if only we could do so, as one of the best lawyers with his expertise, knowledge, and professionalism.

I had the misfortune of experiencing identity theft, and I am immensely grateful for Nick's exceptional assistance. With his expert guidance, I achieved a full recovery of my stolen funds, transforming a distressing situation into an incredible journey. Facing denial from my credit union due to the 30-day reporting window, I turned to Nick for help. From the start, his professionalism, compassion, and unwavering dedication shone through. He thoroughly analyzed my case and devised a comprehensive plan of action, keeping me informed and reassured throughout. Nick's knowledge in combating identity theft was evident as he navigated complex paperwork, legal procedures, and communications with financial institutions. His tenacity and determination were remarkable, ensuring justice prevailed. Beyond his professional prowess, Nick provided empathetic support, understanding the emotional toll of identity theft. Thanks to his relentless pursuit of justice, I emerged unscathed, with restored faith in humanity. I wholeheartedly recommend Nick to anyone facing financial challenges. His expertise, professionalism, and genuine care set him apart. Trust in his ability to secure your recovery and restore your peace of mind. Thank you, Nick, for your exceptional service and turning a potential nightmare into a triumphant experience! Sincerely, Abby, a satisfied customer!
