Barry Finkel will not represent me again.

BACKGROUND: My divorce case in Florida was easy and simple - but not only do I feel screwed by my ex-husband, I was screwed by my own attorney, Barry Finkel, who is one of the rudest men I have ever met.

FINANCIAL FUZZINESS: While still holding thousands of dollars as a creditbalance from my initial retainer, Finkel refused to perform any further services until I remit thousands more to him to pursue the enforcement of the terms in the same divorce case. With no written retainer agreement, he is blaming me for not knowing his billing policies. His own website states:

"That’s how clients are represented at The Law Firm of Barry I. Finkel P.A. No forms, no questionnaires."

Finkel is so proud about how he doesn't barrage his clients with paperwork when they consult with him...Well, BEWARE...Because in my case, his intial impression of casual confidence backfired and turned into ugly, greedy arrogance. I found some other poor reviews about Finkel's performance.

ACTION: I am filing a complaint with the Florida Bar Association, which I will post here soon in PDF format. I will also file a Civil Action in Broward County.

  2. "Great" in what way? I know of a poor housewife represented by Barry Finkel who's ex-husband is nearly giggling about Finkel's non-aggressive representation on her behalf. He felt he "got off easy." What a shame!

  3. Barry Finkel is not a nice man.
    If you need a divorce attorney, make sure you hire a true gentleman who won't side with your husband!!
