NR Barber Legal - Perth, WA

If it is possible to give a zero rating I would. This man, Neville Barber has no compassion, he is extremely rude and condescending and my list goes on. He had no interest in his client nor any interest in representing him other than telling him to plead guilty. His manner was so unpleasant and the way in which he communicated was so confusing and ineffective (to a child going through the court system) that it actually delayed the process. If Neville had it his way and if we followed his narrow and obtuse advice, the client would be in prison. If you are reading this and thinking of engaging with Neville Barber, please rethink it and find someone who actually cares about their job and representing clients. Thankfully we requested a different lawyer who listened to us and took the time and effort to do their job, UNLIKE NEVILLE. He is NOT a good lawyer, he doesn't care and he has terrible people skills, it's a wonder he is still on the scene as I could not recommend him any less. Thankfully the outcome was good, absolutely no thanks to him. I am not writing this to tarnish his reputation (however it is doubtful all of the good reviews are from actual clients and most likely family members) I am writing this to warn others. Because going through the court system is stressful enough without having the stress of a lawyer who doesn't care about his job or client.
Do not recommend!

In response to your reply. The client was unsure how to proceed as Neville Barber refused to take into consideration that the client may have had a good case as there were witnesses and evidence that he dismissed. Instead, informing us that the best course of action was to plead guilty! And if he decides to plead otherwise, he would not represent him and also informed us that the client would likely go to prison! We found a better lawyer that actually did the job and looked into the evidence and the witnesses' testimonies. It was discontinued, absolutely no thanks to Neville Barber. I can't imagine where we would be if we had have followed his terrible advice. If you want legal representation, do not go to Neville. Please don't respond to this comment as there is nothing you could possibly say to defend how that man acted in his duty as a Lawyer for a child. Shame on you.

Neville is a man with integrity and is very professional in his approach. He supported our family during a very stressful time and provided us with information and legal guidance. He was always respectful, courteous and attentive with his response. His knowledge of mental health is very helpful. Best outcome considering the circumstances. Thank you, much appreciated.

I contacted Neville to help resolve an old case that was only recently discovered. I was feeling extremely overwhelmed as I was living overseas and wasn't aware of the issues until last year. Neville was extremely helpful and reassuring. He worked very hard to ensure that he found all the correct information to resolve the issue and was able to sort out my problem without the need for me to fly back from overseas. He consistently kept me updated about the progress of my case and he provided me with accurate information throughout. I am extremely grateful to Neville for making an upsetting experience as easy as possible and ensuring this matter was dealt with swiftly and with a positive outcome. I would not hesitate to recommend his services to anyone.

We found Neville's service to be excellent, he managed all of our concerns with integrity and wisdom and never hesitated to 'go the extra mile' in his assistance. We were frequently offered out of hours consultation to meet our needs and felt we were truly in safe hands. All of this contributed to the very welcome outcome achieved. I would highly recommend the service to others as a trusted and experienced counsel.

Neville has been a very positive lawyer and helped me see things clearly and gave me very good legal advice. He went way beyong my expectations in his work and with our meetings. In this crazy world a good lawyer with the right advice is the best you can get. I recommend him, he is a smart person.

Dr. Neville is not only professional but actually care for his client. He has a PHD in mental health law so he understands people with mental illness. He threw in a lots of effort and dedication to try to deliver the outcome that I desired. Will definitely recommend him to people in needs of relevant legal consultation or representation.

Neville was very professional and did exactly what he said he was going to do for me. There is alot of arrogant lawyers out there, but Neville Barber is not one of them! I can definitely recommend him to help with ur issues!

Condescending, useless and arrogant! He will help the prosecutors more than he will help you. He has a PHD in mental health yet shows no feelings towards anyone with a disability.
Neville has a few quotes he tells everyone, like when you want to explain things in detail he says 'don't go walkabout'. Probably his only defense is 'remorse', he will try to convince you to plead guilty because it shows remorse even if you didn't do it. I ask how do you show remorse for something you did not do?
Basic verified facts he refused to check, correct timelines he didn't verify, valid information he didn't bother mentioning.
Complete waste of time!

Response to owner's comment:
Assisting me Your final statement was a very selective copy and paste of what I was saying! I gave you heaps of verified and confirmed facts, you ignored all of them and when the Judge mentioned the opposite, you blindly agreed. You convincingly used law terms and definitions to prove my logic wrong, yet the Judge actually agreed with me. I had to plead guilty to avoid a trial and costs ONLY not because I was guilty!! And I found out later it IS POSSIBLE to reverse it, if you can prove you 'cannot be guilty'. Surprise, surprise I gathered enough evidence to prove that yes 'I CANNOT BE GUILTY' and will clear me. You refused to assist me if I could prove I could not be guilty. I have since met other lawyers who actually listened to me and helping me because I proved I was right. Timelines, false facts, contacts, incorrect dates...ALL PROVEN in my favour!!
Oh and in 35 years in law and thousands of cases you have 6 good reviews on here and less than 100 on your website (mostly family law) and yet when I spoke with some of your other clients, they agree with me, even quoting your 'remorse' defense word for word.
By saying 'We are sorry you feel that way' is insulting. I am sorry on the day I ever met Neville Barber.
