Is Your Client’s Case Complex?
At Barnes Trial Group, our firm is dedicated to creating the positive results people need after they have been hurt in serious accidents. We know that most people simply want to recover the life they had before an accident. We have the experience and skill necessary to secure the full compensation people will need to be able to overcome the obstacles that stand in their way. With more than 25 years of combined experience and a focus on providing the most effective trial representation available, we have been able to build a record of positive results for our clients that we are proud of.
When you are pursuing compensation for an injury, the reality is the insurance company that should be compensating you will undoubtedly be working to minimize or deny any compensation to you. That opposition from the insurance company means that in most cases, the only way to secure the full compensation a person deserves is to secure highly effective legal representation that understands how to use the courts. Founding attorney Stephen Barnes has more than 20 years of experience serving his clients. We are also able to assist our clients with workers’ compensation claims and insurance issues such as accidents involving uninsured and underinsured drivers, homeowner’s insurance and bad faith insurance claims.

Norman F Ferns B Hendricks2024-08-26Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. My wife was involved in a horrible T bone accident. A vehicle disregarded a red traffic signal and struck my wife's vehicle flipping her over. The roof of her vehicle had to be cut off to extract my wife from her vehicle. She's been treated for multiple injuries, head, back, neck, retina detachment to name a few. Going through many surgeries and treatments, Barnes Trial Group, Attorney Chris Donegan, has been like Family. Mr. Donegan and his Team provided us with constant updates on the progress with the insurance companies. They were there anytime I called or emailed. Weekdays and Weekends. I highly recommend Mr. Donegan if you ever need, hopefully never, a great highly qualified Attorney and Team to represent you with great results. Luz Lema2024-08-06Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. The Barnes trial group is a phenomenal law firm. Once the trauma and disbelief of a motor vehicle accident took over my life, they were there for me every step of the way both encouraging and supporting my recovery as well as anticipating my short and long term needs would be met. For the next two and a half years while I recovered, they laboriously managed my case ensuring I was treated fairly. I wholeheartedly recommend Adam Reith and his team for whom I will eternally be grateful. Luann Earnest2024-07-25Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. Mr. Johnny Trujillo was absolutely amazing he went above and beyond for my case when he took it over and I’m truly grateful for all of his hard work and dedication! He took on a case that was absolutely botched by a previous lawyer and turned everything around! He actually cares about his clients and making sure he takes care of them to the best of his ability, definitely a standup guy! They are a great team!! Holly Vaughan2024-07-25Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. If I could give this law firm a 10 stars I would. When my husband couldn’t work due to a horrible accident he was in, this law firm came through for us. Adam Reith was the attorney on my husbands case. He knew exactly how to get my husband the compensation he deserved. Aside from that, he explained things in a way where we would understand it and feel comfortable with the process. Adam is not afraid to go to court and fight for you if that is what it takes. I will be recommending him to anyone that may need a personal injury attorney. Beyond satisfied how he handles my husbands case from start to finish. Tracy Heroux2024-06-28Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. As anyone can probably guess, getting into an automobile accident is horrible and the steps afterward to receive compensation for your losses can be even worse. But working with Mr. John Trujillo made everything so much easier. Mr. Trujillo was knowledgeable, kind, experienced, and skilled. He was professional and yet every time we spoke I felt like I was talking to an old friend. Mr. Trujillo went above and beyond to make me feel comfortable, heard and supported throughout the process and during some stressful moments. I would recommend Barnes Trial Group and specifically Mr. John Trujillo to anyone and everyone who needs legal assistance. Mike T.2024-06-15Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. I must say, I could not be happier with the results and services provided to me by the the Barnes Trial Group of Tampa. I was in an accident where I was hurt and hurt bad. I had issues with my neck, damages to my car and I was dealing with an insurance company that lagging like crazy. When I tell you that MY lawyer, John V. Trujillo was by far most efficient, most personable and professional counselor one could ask for I'd be understanding. He was able to get me compensation beyond what I even thought was possible and he did it with style and class. I 1000% recommend that you call and ask for John personally if you can and be rest assured you WILL be happy the outcome. Thank you to John and the Barnes Trial Group for everything.
