Maggie is the worst paralegal and the most unprofessional person. Every time we had a phone call or meeting she would "choke" on the food she was eating or her drink and wouldn't respond to my questions or concerns. She barely communicated and filed many things without my knowledge of what was being filed and for the original filing of my served papers, THERE WAS INCORRECT INFO that I didn't see until asking for my case file to give to my new attorney... because she NEVER kept me in the loop when filing things on MINE and MY SONS behalf. She was always interrupting me and almost every in person meeting would talk about other clients and their cases (Bobby Barina also did this multiple times I was in the office-walking around spreading clients business). Almost every single appointment I had, I would show up to the office or be waiting for the phone call and it wasn't until after my appointment time had passed did I have to question her and was told that my attorney was out sick or had to go to a hearing etc, yet never could I have communication prior to. All of the emails I asked to be forwarded to my attorney, she never did. Actually she hardly filled my attorney in on anything because when I finally saw him at the hearings, due to never getting an appointment with him, he would have no clue what I was talking about. One of my last missed phone call appointments, she hung up on me when I was upset due to taking off work and never even having my appointment with a hearing a couple days after and didn't know what to even expect and her lack of communication yet again. She was rude, lied to me MANY times, and in my opinion, should not be someone you have on your team representing your name. I can't tell you how many times I had to call up there or email (to which there was many she just didn't respond to and then essentially called me a liar because 'she responded to all of them') just to get info on my case because she severely lacks communication skills but I've found it was a way to rack up more money on my trust because she could do whatever and not have to answer for it. And not just her apparently. The whole office is like that. Melissa could never give me an answer on my concerns with appointments or anything general office related, as if she had no knowledge of how to do her job, and lied to my face many times and acted as if I was stupid. When my attorney was no longer at the firm, I had to inquire about it and about my case before they would tell me. Then when I decided to hire another attorney due to that and also because they've done nothing I've asked, they sent me a bill that took over half of my trust money out, to rescan things and a bunch of other bs made up things to take more of my money, things they've already done (they scanned my original copy stuff in months ago) and then when I emailed and told them that was ridiculous and I will not be charged for that, they had no care in the world. They actually didn't even respond until I had to email again about getting my money. And that was Bobby Barina and Brittany- charging me for bs things to take more money. I could go on and on, in depth, of every single issue I've had. This is by far the worst "attorney firm". Unless you want to keep spending money for bs and have nothing done on your case, never have appointments to actually talk to your attorney, have your case sh!t talked about amongst everyone, and then not get your money back because they're greedy people with money that's not even theirs... do not hire anyone from Barina law. Do not keep money in your trust if you're already with them. The people that work here should absolutely be ashamed. You reap what you sow and God is always watching!!

I contacted Biebas and Riley Attorneys at law for help getting an ODL. I told them I had set up a court date and they said not to worry about it. I then get a letter in the mail stating that my LICENSE IS SUSPENDED FOR A YEAR. This is because I didnt't go to the court date, which I was told not to worry about. They then went to the judge to appeal it, this has been a nightmare. It's very stressful thinking you won't be able to drive for a year. This incompetent lawfirm, was unable to convince the judge that it wasn't my fault. I now have 3 months where I cannot get a ticket or my license is suspended again. This is because of them. I am worse off than how I started. I asked for some of my money back since I feel pretty screwed, and he tried to blame it on me. $1000 just to add stress to an already stressful situation. ***DO NOT USE THEM I AM WARNING YOU***

I've had a horrible custody battle and her and her team will not fight for you. My divorce and custody agreement was closed October 2023. And before it was closed, my ex-husband was abusing my kids and I asked Miss Biebas if we could try to fight harder for better rights, she told me she will not fight and I need to come back in one year to modify. I signed a document that I should not have signed and I hired an attorney that I should not have hired. Since October 2023, my kids have cried to psychiatrist doctors and CPS workers that my ex-husband has been touching them and physically abusing them, so when I reach back out to Mrs Biebas, she said that there was nothing she could do until it has been one year since the divorce. It made no sense to me that she was making me wait one year when my kids need help right now. So I reached out to another attorney to see if he could help but he ended up being just as bad. I reached out again to Miss Biebas to see if she could help me since she told me to wait a year and it's already been a year, but out of pettiness since I decided to reach out to another lawyer, they are refusing to help. I only asked for help from another lawyer because my kids needed help immediately and Mrs Biebas was not willing to help. Save your money and any mom's out there please do not hire this attorney. And for the sake of your kids, please find another lawyer.

I hired this company in December of 2022, I spoke with a gentleman at the firm who I really liked and felt comfortable with so I decided to hire them. Weeks go by, I hear nothing, I finally reach out to find the attorney I spoke with was no longer with the firm so I then got stuck with Mr. Tisdale, the head of the firm. My first thought was ok good that might be good since it's his own law firm. Nope. Wrong. Again, weeks and weeks go by. Every time I spoke with Tisdale it was me getting in contact. The weirder part was every time I talked to someone on my case I was working with a different paralegal every single time. Each time I talked to them, I would have to re explain my case over and over. I eventually got fed up with NOTHING happening on my case so I called Ebony who works the front desk. This woman, the worst. She is SO rude and would lie every time I spoke to her. Eventually to the point I wanted to see if she would lie right to my face, I asked about a court date which I knew wasn't scheduled since I talked to the county. She flat out said "oh yeah we booked the date for you, I don't have it front of me but I'll get it to you" lies. She finally could tell how frustrated I was becoming so I eventually got my FIRST phone call with Mr. Tisdale in May of 2023. We started talking about my divorce which included children. I started talking about my kids to which he responds "oh I thought you only have one" WHAT. How does my own lawyer not even know how many dependents are involved in my case. He got my name wrong, my kids names wrong etc. When I say it was a hot mess, that is an understatement. Long story short, that was the one and only time I talked to him. The only time the law firm ever reached out to me was for bills and telling me to pay them more $. You will pay and pay and still get nothing for your case. I spent thousands of dollars on this attorney for them to do ABSOLUTELY NOTHING. Not a single court case, date scheduled, seriously nothing. I eventually dropped them and hired a new attorney. I showed my new attorney everything that happened to which he worded "wow, they took crazy advantage of you. They did absolutely nothing for you." I'm writing this review in hopes of others seeing this and avoiding using this law firms "services" so you don't have to go through what I did with them. Especially if you're a single mother with limited funds. You will be screwed out of lots of money. Run far, far away.

No appointment Saturday. I communicate in writing since clients can't remember past events so I documented what said. I will continue written communication." He's correct on meeting with my ex & I the week PRIOR but this was the next week & I know for a fact there were updates & I'm new to the judicial system, especially the juvenile side so I had questions about that too. He nearly sabotaged my son's 2nd hearing by bringing up an evaluation that could be used AGAINST my son! Since he prefers written communication, I fired him through email & text. When I didn't hear back from him, I emailed & texted asking if he could verify that he received my messages that I no longer needed his services he replied "Yes, now go away." When I hired him he said he is blunt. This is not blunt, this is just plain rude. I never write reviews but I don't want others to make the costly mistake I made.
