James Russell

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.

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!!

Luann Earnest

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.

Holly Vaughan

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.

My sincere appreciation to the Barnes Trial Group for a Job well done.

Attorney Christopher Donegan and his highly experienced team of professionals worked hard on my case and were able achieve outstanding results. Going through the pain and suffering of being injured in an automobile accident, was not only stressful but a real nightmare as was the case with the undersigned.

Finding the right Law firm that has a thorough knowledge of the law to represent you is critical. The market being flooded with numerous law firms advertising their services to represent clients with automobile accident injuries makes this task difficult. I am sure they are all reputable law firms competing for clients.

After doing a thorough analysis, the Barnes trial group of Tampa, was my choice based on their outstanding track record and a reference from an out of state Attorney.

Attorney Christopher Donegan, assigned to my case, had a thorough knowledge of the law and defended my case with determination, thoroughly reviewed all the evidence and prepared an exceptional strategy that demonstrated great creativity in his approach to my case.  He came up with innovative solutions that tipped the scales in my favor. answered all my questions with great clarity and patience. He kept me informed every step of the way, which gave me great peace of mind, the result being, Attorney Christopher Donegan negotiated a very advantageous out-of-court settlement, avoiding a long and costly trial. His negotiating skills were impressive.

Special thanks to Paralegal’s Justin Caliva and Keyanna Thomas and the team who went that extra mile, answered all my questions with great clarity and patience and kept me informed every step of the way, which gave me great peace of mind.  Most of all assisted me in working with numerous doctors and therapist which was much appreciated.

Customer service being vital to every organization. The Barnes Trial Group is a great example of outstanding customer service, it starts from the top with Attorney Christopher Donegan and his team. It is through actions such as this, as substantiated above that enables the Barnes Trial Group to have an edge over its competitors and thereby enhance their business.

I would highly recommend the Barnes Trial Group to family and friends and anyone looking for a reputable law firm, based on my personal experience.

If you need a Personal Injury Law Group, look no further. Johnny Trujillo with Barnes Trial Group is  #1.  I felt at ease knowing I was in good hands and they were looking out for what was best for me! Under very stressful times that’s what counts. I can’t say enough about this honest, experienced group of lawyers!

Tammy Yoch

After a devastating accident I was referred to the Barnes Trial Group and could not have asked for a better outcome.  My attorney, John Trujillo and his paralegal, Holly Brinson communicated with me constantly and made the process as easy as they could.  I felt that I was in good hands the entire time and any time I reached out with a question or concern, they immediately helped guide me and answer my questions.  I would recommend Barnes Trial Group to anyone who is searching for a law firm where they are more than just another case!

Kelly Villio

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.

I worked with the Barnes Trial Group in regards to 2 car accidents I was involved with and they were excellent, professional and timely. I highly recommend this law firm. In particular, Mr. Christopher Donegan, Esq. was fantastic – five stars is simply not enough praise for him. Like
Francesco Granieri
I can’t thank Mr. Adam Reith, Justin, Tina, and the rest of the team at Barnes Trial Group enough. I had a slip and fall injury that turned out worse than I originally thought it was going to be. As medical bills started stacking up and not being from FL, I researched attorneys in the Tampa area and found Mr. Reith. They worked hard, keeping me informed and answering any questions I had along the way, to reach a positive settlement. Knowing I had a team in my corner took some of the pressure off my back so I could focus on recovering. I definitely recommend this law firm and Mr. Reith!
Krystal Groshans
Barnes Trial Group are the best in the business and I strongly recommend Barnes Trial Group for all your legal needs. It was a real pleasure having recently worked with the firm and primarily with John Trujillo. Someone like myself that is not used to being involved, often with legal matters, the team at Barnes Trial Group made absolutely sure that I understood every step of the process and that all risks were well weighed and outlined properly. I definitely have a great deal of respect for the Barnes Trial Group and the professionalism they showed in all aspects. Excellent experience…strongly recommend!

Three years ago I was introduced to Barnes Trial Group and I’ve had nothing but an amazing experience the whole way through. Mr. Barnes and Mr. Rieth are amazing, transparent, and have kept me in the loop the entire process. Their support staff is an amazing team of professionals that were always available. I highly recommend anyone looking for competent and HONEST attorneys to contact Barnes Trial Group. Mr. Adam Rieth was my main attorney and he guided me the whole way through kept me calm when times got a little tough and I cannot thank this group enough.

Amazing experience!  It has been a three year journey through litigation.  This firm has been phenomenal the entire time, which speaks to how well organized and service based they are. For my case much of this has to do with a tremendous teammate named Miracle.  If it were not for her I could not have responded to the timely request to support my case. Miracle has a leadership quality to communicate and guide the people she serves in the right direction.  I would thoroughly recommend this firm to anyone! 

Thank you for the outstanding work!

Jairus Wilkerson
Fortunately my experience with law firms has been extremely limited. My experience with Barnes Trial Group was far better than I expected. I was always kept abreast on what was going on with my process. My questions were answered in a very timely manner. And whenever I had to complete more information, I was walked through it all with so much patience and cooperation. A special thank you to Miracle for great communication with me all the way until the end..!!
Rob Metz
Superb firm with quality individuals working on behalf of their clients. I was an out of state client and I was always able to get top notch service and communication from this firm. BTG is very proficient with their emails – they are clear and concise and most importantly they are timely. I noticed they knew when it was easier to pick up a phone and call you vs. very long or complicated emails. Miracle Wing did a superb job in supporting the copious amounts of communications through the process.
Jake

The Barnes Trial Group was brought into my case when it appeared to my original attorney that we would need to go beyond the initial demand and response. The Barnes Group brought in additional experts to enhance my case presentation to the three named defendants. Ultimately, due largely to the professionalism, expertise, and experience of the Barnes Trial Group, my case was settled at a level that exceeded my expectations.

Scott Tillesen

Such an amazing staff. I was going through the litigation process for about 2 years before both parties finally reached a settlement. Mr. Crawford is an excellent attorney and was always knowledgeable and professional when meeting up. If anyone is looking for a firm to represent their case, you can’t go wrong with Barnes Trial Group

Christopher Resendiz

When dealing with this firm what sets it apart from the rest is that you are treated like family. I never once felt anything other then their commitment to do their very best for me.  Even after my case was over, there was an issue created solely by the other side and Steve and his wonderful staff went above and beyond to resolve the problem for me. I know without a doubt the Barnes Trial Group is the only firm that could have settled my case with such a high level of grace and professionalism. Not to mention how well he was able to negotiate the medical and all other costly fees down so that I got the best possible outcome.

Thank you very much.

Barnes Trial Group represented my wife for an auto accident insurance claim. Very professional team. Did an excellent job.

Sunshine Wright

I’m glad I did my research and found this firm. They were nothing short of amazing at every turn! The entire team was there when I needed them and followed up in a timely manner. Open and candid, Friendly, professional and invested in the outcome for my entire family’s future. More importantly, the future needs of my permanent injuries. I can’t imagine how my experience over several years of physical and mental anguish would have been multiplied with a different firm who may have made me constantly worry, stress, call or follow up. The team, especially Tammy and Jennifer put me at ease and always delivered what they said they would work on. Truly a life saving group and a pleasure to trust my future with.

Christine Kimball

This firm represented me in a class action law suit. They went up against one of the biggest companies in the world and prevailed. I am very pleased with the settlement they they procured for me. The 2 principal attorneys were always available to me whenever I needed to consult with them. I was always well informed about their progress. The support staff, represented by Miracle Wing was outstanding. This firm represents the highest standards and integrity in the legal profession. I would not hesitate to use their services again or too highly recommend them to anyone in need of legal services.
