I worked with Barry through my divorce and custody case, and I can honestly say he’s one of the best people I’ve ever met, not just one of the best attorneys. From day one, Barry made a difficult process feel manageable. He’s calm, confident, and knows the law inside and out. Every time something came up that caused me stress, Barry took the time to explain it clearly and help me see the big picture. He was patient, professional, and always responsive – even on short notice. What stood out most is how much he genuinely cared about the outcome, especially when it came to my kids. He knew how important it was for me to stay an active part of their lives, and he made sure that happened. I’m deeply grateful for everything he did and would recommend him without hesitation to anyone going through a divorce or family law case.

Mr. Fayne not only helped me to get the custody that I deserve but he was there every step of the way. Gave me the best advice and information when needed! He kept in close contact and treated me as if I was his family. I would recommend him a million times again and again. He never acted as most lawyers do when they act as if you are beneath them. Thank you!

Attorney Barry Fayne is one of the greatest people that I know, and I am more than happy that he agreed to take my case. At the time that he decided to get involved, I had been through four attorneys who seemed reluctant to deal with the tumultuous issues on my case. Attorney Fayne’s involvement changed everything! In my opinion, Attorney Fayne’s calling was to be a family law attorney. He gives the best advice based on his profound knowledge of the law. He is also considerate and respectful of your feelings and will listen with an open-mind to your input relative to the direction of the case. He is truly committed and dedicated to his profession. He has received and responded to my calls and/or emails of an urgent nature outside of ‘normal’ working hours and has been very personable. His presence in the courtroom on my case has been impactful. I could say so much more about my attorney. Whenever anyone mentions the need for a family law attorney, Attorney Barry Fayne is the first person I recommend. In my opinion, he is the absolute best!!!

Mr. Fayne has a vast knowledge of family law and a rare willingness to go above and beyond for his clients! He helped me navigate my complicated post-judgement divorce proceedings and made me feel informed and confident throughout the process.

Mr. Fayne’s vast knowledge and resources in Family Law proved invaluable to me. He was able to pinpoint exactly what needed to be done to get my best outcome in a complicated, messy post-divorce situation. He was very caring, responsive, and precise. I highly recommend him!

Working with this lawyer was great, we were fighting for visitation with our grandchildren. The judge was not going to give us visitation until Barry corrected the judge letting him know that because of the amount of time the children spent with us we were able to get visitation. Because of this Barry told us that in the future there would be a chance we could get the children back, they lived with us until foster care gave them to the father. After 9 months the children now live with us again.

I can't say enough about Barry Fayne and his professionalism, expertise, compassion and honesty. Barry and his team were so responsive! I trusted Barry with my life! He is a pro at bringing a chaotic situation to a calm environment. Barry always kept me in the loop, explaining everything and walking me through my options so I was informed and could make a good life decision. I would highly recommend Barry Fayne to anyone having difficulty in their life with a family law issue. He is the BEST! Barry was so good at resolving issues calmly, fairly and equitably. I will never forget Barry Fayne and how he helped me and literally saved my life.

— Client 11/22/2019

In the many years of our respective practices, I have had opportunities to engage with Barry on many cases. He has always advocated zealously for his client. I have also mediated and arbitrated for Barry. He is always prepared and committed to working toward an equitable resolution. I recommend him without reservation.

We hired Barry on the recommendation of our attorney, who had a conflict and could not represent us for a specific hearing. Barry took us on as clients and immediately understood a very complex case and the seriousness of the issues of the hearing. He treated us like we were longstanding clients (even though we had just met) and listened to and responded to every one of our communication in a way that showed he is “all-in” for his clients when he takes a case. After observing him in action, I can confirm that he is highly skilled in arguing in front of a judge, has vast experience across multiple counties and knows multiple judges and courtrooms, and knows family law inside and out. While I’m happy with my current attorney (who also hired Barry, and hence recommended him when the conflict arose), I’d not hesitate to hire Barry again and recommend him to everyone I know. Once you work with the best, it’s hard to work with anyone else!!!

— Client 08/23/2019

He is one of the best!

— Client 10/02/2018

There's not enough stars to rate this attorney for the awesome job he's done. Attorney Fayne was honest, responsive to all of my million and one questions, and most of all he showed genuine concern regarding my case, my well being, and my children. Attorney Fayne wasn't just my attorney, he became family.

— Client 09/07/2018

Mr. Fayne is a quiet powerhouse. His handling of my Grandparent Visitation case was exemplary. Mr. Fayne faced the loud and boisterous counsel on the opposing side with dignity, and quietly shut them down with his vast knowledge and experience. I highly recommend Barry Fayne, not only for his legal knowledge, but also for the compassion he showed my family through this sad and trying time.

— Client 06/07/2017

Barry Fayne is a smart, honest and persistent ally in court. I have worked with him over the past two years and would recommend him to anyone looking for top-notch support in a legal matter.

— Client 04/28/2017

Great lawyer. A bit unorthodox for a regular guy like myself. Must admit I was a bit worried from motion to motion, but Barry served me very well! He taught me patience, and how to be humble with very scary situations at that time. Excellent attorney! I'm very greatful he was available when I needed someone to help sort the mess out. This guy is worth every penny. A true teacher of how to move forward when all is Lost.

I emphatically endorse the legal skills and professionalism of Attorney Barry Fayne in the area of family law. Anyone who needs a lawyer in a divorce- or child custody-related dispute in Southeast Michigan would be a fool to consider hiring any lawyer other than Barry. I am a licensed attorney in two states and relatively experienced in the area of family law, and I unfortunately needed an attorney of my own when I went through a high conflict divorce case involving child custody. It could have been an absolute nightmare of a minefield, but Barry helped me navigate the storm and my daughter and I prevailed and will have a great life because of it. It is impossible to describe in words the generational impact that Barry has had on many peoples’ lives. I have dealt with dozens of attorneys in family law-related cases, and Barry’s confidence and expertise is unrivaled. I could not help but grin in court when Barry quoted sections and subsections of statutes or case law which he has memorized over the years. Describing him as a “family law expert lawyer” would be an understatement. Barry is additionally very accessible by phone. A lot of lawyers hate being called by clients (especially on weekend days), but he always answered my calls—even on Saturdays and Sundays. If you need a Michigan family law attorney, you need Barry Fayne.

— Client 04/15/2016

I sought out Barry and continued to get helpful information from him, even though he was not my attorney. He is extremely knowledgable about family law. It comes second nature to him. He is caring and always responsive. I will definitely use him for future, if need be.

"God sends angels in different forms and Attorney Barry Fayne is one of them. When my wife abandoned me and my son, Barry was always willing to go the extra mile to help me retain custody of my child. I did not feel alone during the hard times of my child custody case. Throughout the case he was always supportive, caring, and understanding. He is an amazing attorney- very professional and knowledgeable. Barry always returned my calls or emails whenever I had a question or concern. It is so nice to be able to express your concerns to an attorney and have things explained to you without being rushed or bombarded with terms you don’t understand. My life, and my child's life, has been forever changed with Barry's help …he is just awesome.”

— Client 10/20/2014

Barry was a wonderful, kind lawyer to work with. He advocated for me throughout my divorce and made sure I was being treated fairly. My case did not end the way I had hoped, but it was almost impossible to win. He did however make sure I received everything I was entitled to and more.

— Client 04/10/2014

Mr. Fayne is a leader in the legal community. He is skilled, intelligent, and reasonable. He is a lawyer who truly believes the profession is a noble calling.

— Peer 07/30/2019

Barry is a fierce warrior but maintains a sense of compassion and willingness to resolve. Barry is not afraid to take on the underdog, even if he is not being adequately compensated.
