I contacted Margaret Terrasi to do my divorce back in October 2022 via email, first she didn't even…read moreget the email or respond until Sometime in November 2022, but immediately after she realized my email was in her spam folder, she immediately sent me paperwork to fill out and I paid her in full $1200 but upon doing that things immediately went down hill. She no longer was attentive, no longer answering my phone calls, emails or even text due to questions I had concerning my divorce. It took her almost a month or so to answer me, then long story short n due to not hearing from her, a friend of mine got online n found out my court date information, which she never told me until days b4 the court date. Then I ask her if the divorce will be final on April 23rd , 2023, she proceeds to tell me, all paperwork has been filed it should be good!!! Nope, not even close. We get in front the the court liaison and she proceeds to tell me the judge doesn't grant judgements on the first default, now I know hood and we'll she's dealt with the judge before, so instead of not informing me, I get my hopes up only to be crushed and be told I have to wait another month. My divorce became final May 26, 2023 and I didn't receive my final papers until July 2023!! I attempted to contact her via phone calls, emails, text everything but NOTHING!!! When she finally did contact me, the papers were sitting on someone's desk (how incompetent can you be. You've been paid in full to do a job but it was a job that she totally had no regard for! I felt like because it maybe not enough money or what but I was NOT satisfied with her services at all n would NEVER recommend her to anyone!! PERIOD!!!

NOT RECOMMENDED. DOES NOT NEED TO BE IN PRACTICE ANYMORE…read more Never on time for court, shows up an hour + late every time. Is never prepared. Charges thousands of dollars and does nothing. Never answers calls or texts until the morning of court. Has excuse after excuse for his lack of action on the case. I've done everything for myself and even prepared all my own paperwork and documents because Mr. Barker acts like he's some big shot lawyer who has such a high dismissal rate and is worth $5000+ for a misdemeanor case then charges the same for a felony case? Makes no sense. Embarrassing. He obviously doesn't realize his brain has gone to the state of early dementia or drug/alcohol abuse. Who knows. I've never been so disappointed in a paid lawyer. I'd have been better off with a court appointed attorney at this point, at least I expect them to not do their jobs. DONT HIRE HIM!
