Robert W. Kinzer III
“I’ve never been the type of person who needed a criminal defense attorney, but due to circumstances outside of my control I found myself facing criminal charges with major implications, Rob and his partner were recommended to me and from the moment we initially spoke on the phone I felt like I was in good hands. Rob was patient and clear and reassured me he had the experience and resources to handle my defense. Although it was a process, it was clear Rob was respected amongst his peers and colleagues and that he knew what he was doing. In the end, we achieved the best possible outcome and through it all I never felt like a criminal. I would recommend Barry & Kinzer LLP to anyone in need.”
