Was referred to this firm by a medical expert for what he deemed to be a valid medical malpractice case. Submitted my case/document for review on 4/19/18 and was told it would take 3 weeks for review. It is now 6/8/18, and I've been put off multiple times even though I was told it was in the review process stage by 2 attorneys. I finally emailed again today only to find out that they are not taking on anymore malpractice cases. Why couldn't they just have told me that to begin with???!!! Poor feedback/status updates!!! NOT IMPRESSED!

Worst law firm ever. They really have no business in law they are very uneducated and have no clue what they are doing. Do not waste your money.

I am a returning client to Barnes and Cohen. They know exactly what they are doing and make sure the clients are always satisfied. This time around was a lengthy process, but I'm glad Barnes and Cohen were on our side to make sure we were satisfied and taken care of in the end. Thank you Jessica Thacker for your willingness to help and guide us through the process as well! We appreciate you all for making sure we were taken care of.

Sincerely, Tamika

I have worked with Patrick Sullivan in a professional manner while managing a medical practice that treated car accident victims. To work with Patrick and his staff was an absolute pleasure. They are compassionate, understanding, knowledgeable and responsive to each client. Unfortunately, my mother was involved in a no fault car accident. Her car was totaled and she had significant injuries. The insurance company was not willing to negotiate or be fair to her. I knew she needed Patrick's help immediately. He was attentive and caring to my mom. I could have not asked for a better experience. He fights for his clients and gets the settlements they deserve. Being on both sides of the spectrum, I can attest he is the best personal injury attorney in North Florida and Southeast Georgia. Thank you, Patrick!

Every perspective client must do his-her responsible due diligence before hiring an attorney. Know their forte of legal specialty. In my case it was a pedestrian injury by direct vehicular impact.
For my kind of injury FL allows a 10k max on such injuries for pedestrian injury by a vehicle. Like any vehicular accident, I followed through with treatments, therapy, and proactively went to my podiatrist when I felt a pain that was not normal, but I suspected was due to the driver of a Silverado I was hit by. I also journalized the pain in an openly direct manner, and e-mailed those writings to my attorney. Documenting my injury pain gave my attorney and para legal something to work with.
The communication of B&C goes beyond "The case is moving along," or "We're waiting on a response from the insurance." If you call and leave a call back request, 3 days may be your wait time for response. But it's normal considering their case load, and that you're not their only case being litigated, or tried.
Regarding my pedestrian case, I gave my attorney a written statement of the most I would accept, and came away with a settlement better that what the State of Florida allows. If you help your attorney by documenting injury pain, providing photo evidence, and informing in writing what you'll accept no less than, you have a better chance for a good settlement. Work with your attorney so they can give you their best service.

Not getting into too much of our situation. We hired them back in 2012. The case took a little longer than expected you know insurance companies never want to pay or give you a fair price for your injuries. We met this wonderful attorney name Dustin Middleton when you think of the words honesty, humbleness, humility, that explain Mr. Middleton. He fought hard for us and were ready to battle for us in court him and Glen Cohen they did their home work really well the insurance company didnt have a choice but to give what they asked for which wasn't nickels and dimes we talking about dollars. What I really liked about Mr. Middleton you can tell he is really about the client and not just getting paid he kept us up to date when needed. So be patient he will not forget you are his client, and he listens to your feelings and concerns and what you expect and trust he do all he can to make sure his client is happy and come out on top. Need an attorney look up DUSTIN MIDDLETON OF BARNES AND COHEN.
Thanks You Guys
Keep up the great work people love attorneys like you all about the client not just your self.

Barnes and Cohen is an amazing firm to work with. Extremely professional, compassionate and made sure we understood every step of the process along the way. Very straightforward and educated us about the legal process. We trusted their advice and it paid off in the end. Highly recommend and will work with them in the future if needed.

Several years ago I decided to switch my representative from another attorney to Barnes and Cohen... I am very happy I did.

They proactively represented my interest and a much better settlement was ultimately achieved.

I can now verify through my own experience that having a more attentive and caring attorney pays off in the end.

I would highly recommend family and friends.

I can honestly say that if ever there was a skeptic it was I! But Jessica Thacker made my experience so personable and reassured me for the better. Her positivity was everything! Barnes & Cohen you have a great asset in her. The company as a whole went above and beyond to get me everything that was owed to me. This summer is going to grand for me and my children!!!! Thank you guys so much! Jessica you’re the best chica!!!

Very hospitable and knowledgeable id recommend this firm to anyone im just starting my lawsuit with them there punctual and move quickly.ive now been a client for a month. I talk to Pam W. My case manager a couple of times a week. She is always Couteous and happy to help or answer any questions she can if she can't answer she lets me know thats a question for Mr. Barnes my attorney. In which there is little delay or Mr. Barnes may not answer all questions. However its early in my case so i know i have time i also know my case is not Mr. Barnes only case im sure to he has to research before answering a lot of questions..im sure with this firm my patience will pay off. THANK you Pam W. For taking my calls almost daily..Pam W. In my opinion is doing a great job..thank you Mr. Barnes for being my personal attorney. On another note if Eric Andeer is the same one that works for another PI Attorney in St. Augustine Mr. Andeer did a great job on my GFs Dog attack case..in fact he got her one settlement and is now taking the 2nd defendants to trial. So if hes the same attorney hes gotten some good training somewhere?? Mr. Cohen daddy in law perhaps? Food for Thought!! Every case is different some good some bad. We all cant be made happy all the time.

Barnes & Cohen gave me excellent advice, knowledge, and help during my car accident. I felt neither insurance company (including my own) was on my side and I was helpless. Barnes & Cohen was quick to respond to all my questions during the process. It was nice to know I was covered and not being taken advantage of during a difficult time. It saved me time, energy, and money using their service to guide me through the process. The entire staff is friendly, polite, and very helpful. Thank You Barnes & Cohen!

First time needing a lawyer & I would definitely recommend Barnes & Cohen to anyone. They provided great legal services, always available when I needed a question answered or had any concerns, & got me a lot of money! & lawyer fees are affordable.

THE WORST LAW FIRM EVER! This place should be closed. They are a disgrace! This is a small, unprofessional office that lacks diversity and customer service skills. All you will get from this office is the RUN AROUND!!! They fail to return calls and to keep their word. In fact, Glenn Cohen yelled and hung up the phone on me because I questioned the lack of professionalism from his son-in-law who works there-- Eric Andeer (nepotism). It took them OVER THREE (3) YEARS to settle my slip and fall case, and even my doctors began to question why it was taking them so long? They also REFUSED to question my MAIN witness---even though I had requested them to do so. Andeer told me that the guy "COULD" actually hurt my case, rather than help it. BUT, THIS WAS THE GUY WHO ACTUALLY HELPED ME UP OFF OF THE FLOOR!!! WHY REFUSE TO QUESTION HIM??? THIS PLACE IS A RIP OFF!!! Andeer said they could've taken FOURTY PERCENT (40%) of my settlement. (Who does that???) However, since I ended up settling for a lot less than they originally told me I should be able to get, (due to refusing to question my witness upon my request), they still took HALF OF MY SETTLEMENT PAYOUT!!!! Now, months later, there is a doctor's office sending me a bill that they were aware of, but FAILED TO PAY-- so, they are now billing me for the $5,000 to be paid out of the HALF that I received. Again, THIS PLACE IS THE WORST!!!! They hire uneducated employees as "paralegals". In fact, the only education that the "paralegal" over my case had (according to her profile) was from "PACE SCHOOL FOR GIRLS" (an intervention program for at-risk girls), so it appears that this SMALL office hires cheap, inexperienced labor to save money. No wonder they are so sloppy and inefficient. This same incompetent "paralegal" was FIRED just before my case was settled, and I can't begin to tell you the problems I had with her, just in trying to communicate and follow up on what she said she was going to do. My case was thrown around to 3-4 different people in this office before FINALLY settling. Towards the end, they hired another paralegal who had no clue as to what was going on. Communication with her was STRESSFUL to say the least. In addition, because they REFUSED TO QUESTION MY PRIMARY WITNESS IN SPITE OF MY REQUEST, I feel that they FAILED to represent me properly, and LEFT A LOT OF MONEY ON THE TABLE. THIS WAS THE MOST DISSATISFYING & STRESSFUL EXPERIENCE THAT I'VE EVER HAD IN MY LIFE!!!!! I RECOMMEND YOU NOT WALK AWAY FROM THIS OFFICE, BUT RUN!!! GO SOMEPLACE WHERE YOU ARE TREATED LIKE A VALUABLE CLIENT THROUGHOUT THE ENTIRE PROCESS. Employees here fail to keep their promise. Oh yeah, and not only did there TOP ATTORNEY, GLENN COHEN SLAM THE PHONE IN MY FACE, but their receptionist release my call several times, as well. (I guess if your boss does it, and sets this unprofessional example, you can too). They play a lot of games. I can't stress this enough: WORST OFFICE IN JACKSONVILLE FL IN MY OPINION!!! They're friendly when you first come in, because they want your business. But, as the YEARS go by, you'll see another side of the people at BARNES & COHEN. RUN!!!!!!!!!

I have used Barnes & Cohen since 2015. I have went through a few paralegals. However, JESSICA THACKER was the best by far. My case I am sure was not an easy one. I am in constant pain and sometimes a little difficult to deal with. Ms. Thacker however, always treated me with dignity and great respect. She has a sweet, down to earth personality that was even a delight to deal with. I felt like she really cared about me and my personal situation. So kudos to JESSICA THACKER for being top notch. I recommend Barnes & Cohen to all who need a personal jury lawyer or any other fields they cover!!!!

After facing bankruptcy because of a car accident in which I was the passenger. Jessica and the staff at Barnes and Cohen were able to get the drivers insurance company to pay all the bills cover the legal fees and put money in my pocket. Thanks!!!
They did a great job considering the driver had the state minimum coverage. So thanks again.

Barnes and Cohen lawfirm does excellent work! Always in constant contact with me and if I have any questions or concerns they follow up if I have to leave a message. My case was very long so I was very frustrated at times but they always gave me great advice and did everything they said they would do.

Mr Barnes has handled a number of my cases. I wouldn't want any other attorney to handle them. My last case he did an explicit job. I've referred him to my family, friends and even strangers. Thanks Attorney Barnes you're great.

C. Barnes is absolutely the best attorney ever. I contacted Barnes & Cohen because my daughter and I were involved in a hit and run accident. From the beginning with Matthew C. to ALL the paralegals that kept me in the know. Kaylon C. Jessica T. and Grace M. were super at responding to my calls and emails. I will never be able to thank C.Barnes enough for the settlement he got for me and my daughter. I will always highly recommend C. Barnes. Should I ever need legal services again, I'm definitely coming back to B & C. Having had family member use one of the "OTHER" firms has shown me the difference between professionalism and great customer service versus a firm that's only out to get what they can get and screw you in the process. Kudos B & C. You are ACES in my book.

A friend who has used Barnes and Cohen 3 times in the past referred me to them and I couldn't have been more pleased with the outcome. This was my first accident and they helped answer my endless amount of questions. I will definitely recommend them to family/friends in the future.

I highly recommend Barnes and Cohen to anyone who has had an accident and needs legal help. From the receptionist to the paralegals and lawyers, I have been very impressed by all of them. They consistently demonstrate integrity, intelligence, a caring attitude, knowledge of the law and a focus on the results.

I currently have 2 cases with Barnes and Cohen and it's been a year and a half with one and the second over a year with no resolutions. My cases have been through more than one paralegal. Time goes by with me having to reach out to them. When I reach out for followup, the paralegals always tell me they have to get with Mr. Barnes.

This is by far the worst law firm in the state of Florida. Not only did they make me wait 6 weeks after i hired them to make contact,they totally used me to get their precious 33.3%.. What type of company doesnt make contact with their clients for an entire 2 months???? I'm 100% percent convinced that they were negligent in my case. Not one report that was sent to me was complete, their para legals lie to make you feel better,yet when your actually in their office,they disappear and hope they dont get told on!!They waited till I received my compensation check to make any phone calls to me, then as soon as I signed for mine,the same EXACT day,they dropped my passengers case. Why?? Because he wasnt worth $20,000???? I DO NOT RECOMMEND THIS COMPANY TO ANYONE!! And I will be contacting the Better Business Bureau as well ass the Florida bar. Negligence and Malpractice is all you will get from this company.
