WHEN LIFE HAPPENS.
WHEN YOU NEED AN ADVOCATE.

BUSINESS & CONTRACT LAW

Since the law of contracts is at the heart of most business dealings, it is one of the most significant areas of legal concern. Your business contracts should provide solutions to potential conflicts and address all of your business needs. It’s also important to have an experienced legal advocate who can help you protect your rights and interests if a contractual dispute occurs.

Vision

The law can seem arbitrary and inaccessible — a fog. It can be frightening when legal problems arise. Everyone deserves competent and professional advocacy to help them through those rough spots. I look forward to meeting with you to determine if I am the right advocate for you, or to help you find the representation that fits your needs. Making the protections and privileges of the law accessible to every client is what we do, it’s why we exist, at Barnett Legal, PLLC.

I highly recommend attorney Jay Barnett. He assisted my family in a legal matter recently and his council was spot on. Not only did he give us excellent and accurate advice; he worked with us throughout the ordeal to insure we were progressing correctly, and then followed up to assure all was resolved satisfactorily. Thank you Mr. Barnett!
