				Scared, confused and overwhelmed??



This is where I was when I walked into Barbara's office.



What I found was a kind and understanding woman that made me feel like a person.  A person that got myself into a world of hurt, but a person that was Not Being Judged.



The next day I walked in with a stack of pass due invoices and statements.  We went theough them and she categorized etc.



Words cannot begin to describe the relief I felt!!



If you are in a bad spot, whether circumstances or your own mistakes got you there, Barbara is the attorney to see.

She has a big heart for the child parent relationship and a supreme command of California family law. If you want the best results possible, then you want Barbara May.

				We were so very pleased to have Barbra representing us in a recent court case.  It was a very difficult situation, and she handled it with the upmost professionalism. She is able to present a strong case while keeping a calm and knowledgeable demeanor. We just cannot say enough praises to express how happy we were with her services.

				I started working with Barbara over 13 years ago when seeking a divorce.  Over those 13 years, there were numerous times I would have to re-hire her for support and court appearances.  I cannot say enough about her as a person and her skills.  I always admired how she represents herself in the court room as well as her representation of my case in our numerous court appearances. You will not regret hiring Barbara!!
