My experience with Barbara Jennings was very negative. In November of 2005, I was driving up to Detroit MI from Los Angeles CA to visit relatives. I stopped off for a few beers along the way in Georgia, and that's when my troubles began. I was charged with Felony Hit and Run I ran into a highway sign on the side of the road, and Open Container. I was facing jail time, heavy fines, and the loss of my CDL because I was a commercial truck driver. I hired attorney, Barbara Jennings, whom I paid a hefty retainer after speaking with her over the phone about my case. She was totally incompetent and unprofessional. Her poor communication skills and legal representation really hurt my case, and was a huge setback. I was vacationing in Shanghai, China at the time, and she failed to appear at a calendar call to set a trial date, as we had agreed. Because she never appeared on my behalf to address the court, a warrant was issued for my arrest. To make matters worse, she never again contacted me, or attempted to address this matter after the arrest warrant. I recently closed this case with an excellent attorney who was able to get the charges reduced and dismissed based on several personal accomplishments, years of sobriety, and my continuing professional work in substance abuse. I didn't even have to fly back to GA, as my plea was accepted in absentia, and closed. Due to my unfortunate experience with Ms. Jennings, I am unable to offer a positive review or recommendation.
