Ted C Barr & Associates

Ted Barr represented me roughly 10 years ago where he showed up in court 1 time and didn’t do or say anything that I couldn’t have myself. That being said, I paid $ 1500 and thought our business was done. I moved out of state for the next 8 years and hadn’t thought about it again until my return to Washington where I found there was a judgment against me for an unpaid balance to mr Barr. The judgment was $ 2500 + fees and interest equating to roughly $ 7500! When I contacted Mr Barr about this he was completely inflexible and referred me to his collection attorney. Long story short, I had to pay the $ 7500 or it would keep going up and haunt me the rest of my life… Find a different attorney, this guy is a snake!

There are times in your life that leave you feeling vulnerable and at the mercy of others. Your world is spinning and you can’t tell which way is up from down. Your hopes, dreams and aspiration are being quickly swept away. You no longer can help yourself and you must ask the help of a complete stranger. You read tons of reviews hoping to discover the right person but with every good review accompanies a bad. You search for a person who will have your best intentions in mind. Someone that knows and understands the law. Someone kind and caring. Someone who is going to fight for you. Someone who will bend over backwards to help you. Time isn’t on your side so you take a deep breathe and pick the person who seems like all of these things. …
Not every story ends well. Mine did. Ted was everything I hoped to find plus more. He supported me, believed in me and he fought for me till the end. He went out of his way to be there for me. He did more for me than I could have ever expected. He’s an incredible person that I can confidently recommend to anyone.

Very experenced and knowledgable lawyer. I had a very tough case and we ended up with a positive outcome. He was referred to me by two friends that also had great experiences with Ted. I have never been in trouble before and was put at ease and felt that Ted and his team had my back throughout the process. I highly recommend his services and he is worth every penny.

With all due respect to Staci and her review, I have to adamantly disagree and passionately state that my experience with Ted Barr was quite the opposite. Ted has actually represented me twice, 7 years apart (the most recent just ending this past month) and on both occasions he was the BEST money I could have ever spent.
I could go on and on about his charisma in the court room, his proactive relationships with everyone involved in the DUI process from the court system to the treatment programs, as well as his profound experience which can only be learned from years of practice. I could talk about the horror stories I heard from other people I have met along the way about their lawyers and the awful experiences they had encountered including jail time, lengthy court imposed treatment, 2 year license suspensions, scram and alcohol monitoring bracelets, prolonged active probation, and a litany of frustration with attorneys who are difficult to get in touch with and have to be reminded by their own clients about pending legal issues. Also keep in mind that most of these people were on their first offense. This was my 2^nd and I had it much easier by comparison.
I could comment for hours on the statements above, particularly regarding Ted being a spectacularly competent lawyer, but I would place the biggest value on his gift for making you feel at ease throughout the process. Going through a DUI is an extremely stressful situation and there is no monetary value I can put on what it meant to me and my family to have Ted taking on the larger portion of that stress. With Ted, I always felt at ease that my case was being handled, allowing me to focus on the regular and more important aspects of my life prior to being pulled over.
From your first consultation with Ted, to your final day in court, he is with you every step of they way. I was always kept abreast of developments in my case, informed on how the prosecuting attorney was viewing my case, and kept in the loop on Ted and his team’s investigation into the facts.
I truly believe Ted takes a very personal approach to what he does and he really made a genuine connection with me and my family. He understood and reminded me that I’m not a bad person and I just made a dumb mistake one evening.
The bottom line is that I have, and would recommend Ted to anyone facing a DUI.

Worst money ever spent. I will agree Mr. Barr knows his industry, but he’s an overpriced replaceable attorney. He was late to several of my court dates, yet because he golfs with the judge he was pardoned of his tardiness, but no one was paying me for my time. I wish he would have been honest about the results he thought were achievable in my case, instead I wasted 10,000 dollars and my time and gas money that a lawyer without much experience provided by the state could have received the same ruling in my case. Don’t waste your money with this guy. Not to mention I saw him 6 months later at a bar/​comedy show in Kirkland, and after had the nerve to hug me and ask how life was!
