Experience You Can Believe In —Stories That Prove It

Valerie was absolutely amazing!! Her knowledge and experience exceeded my expectations! What I appreciated most was how she would help me fully understand my situation/case and made me feel at ease throughout the process. I can’t thank Valerie enough for her services and professionalism! She is hands down one of the best lawyers out there!

Valdancer A.

Valerie was an immense help during our consulting firm’s legal process in getting paid outstanding balances from a delinquent client. She was thorough, extremely responsive, and explained every step of the process to us with options and her guidance. We are beyond thankful to have found her and happy to have her in our network now! Thank you Barnhart Law Firm.

Valerie is an incredible business attorney and human being! She goes above and beyond for her clients and her community. She’s an invaluable resource to business owners. If you are needing guidance for your business transactions, she is the one!

Ciara G.

I had to hire Valerie from out of state to handle a legal matter in Miami-Dade county. While other lawyers wanted outrageous retainers, she took a measured approach, saving me money, stress and time. Ultimately she was able to secure all of the monies owed to me from a business transaction gone awry, including her attorney’s fees. I cannot recommend her more highly!

Wendy F.

Passion for the job, compassion for the client “HEART”, great communication skills, willingness to listen, good judgment, perseverance and at last Valerie’s knowledge of the Law. These are just a few of the qualities you will find when working with Valerie. Dealing with an attorney most of the time means that there is a problem and for that you need an attorney with all the above qualifications. I have and always will recommend her legal services without hesitation.
