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 30 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.

Words cannot adequately express our gratitude to Adam, Justin, and the entire team at Barnes Trial Group. From the very beginning, Adam and his team were there for us every step of the way. They made us feel welcomed, supported, and valued, without judgment. Despite managing many cases, Adam and Justin always made us feel as though our case was their top priority. Their dedication, responsiveness, and genuine care gave us confidence throughout the entire process. They helped my wife and me overcome our fears and navigate this challenging journey with reassurance and professionalism. Whenever we had questions, they responded promptly. If they didn't have an immediate answer, they always followed up in a timely manner. Adam and his team were compassionate, diligent, and highly professional throughout our case. We are incredibly thankful to Barnes Trial Group for consistently advocating on our behalf and working tirelessly to achieve the best possible outcome. I highly recommend Adam, Justin, and their team. From the bottom of my heart, if we could give them 1,000 stars, we absolutely would.Posted on Tagianna YoungTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google.

The whole team at Barnes Trial Group (Stephen Barnes, Sean McCleary, Tara Mahoney, Dashira Arroyo, Rhonda Fertig) supported and guided me through the darkest time in my life. They cared for my son and I with world class legal expertise, compassion, and humanity. "Above and Beyond" does not come close to describing the service we received. I will always be indebted to them.Posted on Debra SantoroTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. Barnes Trial Group is an exceptional law firm. Attorney Adam Rieth took on mine and my husband's cases after a motor vehicle accident with a crane truck that ran a red light and hit my practically new Porsche which was ultimately totalled. I hurt my neck and back pretty badly and my husband also hurt his back. The Barnes Trial Group team was there for us every step of the way encouraging and supporting our recovery, ensuring we had the care we needed. While we recovered and had various treatments and physical therapy, they managed our case and fought to get us the compensation we deserved. Adam explained things and guided us through the process to ensure we both understood and felt comfortable with the Mediation. Going through the pain and suffering of being injured in an automobile accident, was not only stressful, but a real nightmare. Adam and his team fought very hard for us and reviewed all the evidence, prepared an exceptional strategy that demonstrated great creativity in his approach to our case. He came up with innovative solutions that tipped the scales in our favor and managed to obtain a fair settlement for both of us. This helped to avoid a long and costly trial and gave us both peace of mind and able to move on with our lives. I highly recommend Barnes Trial Group and want to extend a special thank you to Attorney Adam Reith and his team for a job well done!! Adam exceeded our expectations and we highly recommend to anyone looking for a reputable law firm, based on our personal experience.Posted on Puttere FamilyTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google.
