anonymous · litigation ·
This is my first time needing a lawyer (lawfirm), before they had helped me I was scared not knowing what to do. When I called and talked to my lawyers and explained my case they was very willing to help and give me different scenarios and outcomes, they are very grateful and accommodating. Whenever I needed to talk to my lawyer/firm they was there to answer any questions about my case. If you ever need a lawyer Michael D Barber & Associates is grade A+. Without them I wouldn't have had the outcome of my case I'm grateful and happy.
- ★★★★★Good when He pays attention to you , terrible when you fall through the cracks
anonymous · government law ·
Hired Mr Barber as my attorney 4 years ago , I payed all attorneys fees , spoke to him for 2 minutes enough for him to collect my retainer fee . Since then he has not worked on my case besides extending my license . I call every few months to get update and I receive the same response. That’s my case is pending after 4 years , I request to speak to the attorney and he never calls back , this has been on going for 4 years . I even have gone into his office over 5 times and he is never present. His staff are very nice but the turnover is so high that cases get overlooked and no one follows up . Think long and hard before retaining this attorney , he will take your money and Mabey when he feels like it Work on your case . Nightmare .

I’ve been a client of this law firm since 2020, and I cannot recommend them highly enough. From the very beginning, their service has been outstanding — excellent communication, quick responses, and genuine willingness to assist me with any questions I had. I was fortunate to have my case dismisse d smoothly thanks to Michael and his teams guidance. It was clear throughout that they are a phenomenal team that works efficiently and collaboratively to achieve the best outcome for their clients. If you’re looking for a lawyer that truly cares, communicates, and delivers results, look no further — you’ll be in good hands here!
- ★★★★★Fantastic Lawyer

What can I say about Musa? He is everything you can imagine an excellent lawyer should be! If you are reading his reviews to determine if you are going to hire Musa to represent you, don't look any further - trust me! Like many others can tell you, he is the best in his field. He genuinely cares abou t his clients and will make you feel at ease during your case, no matter how bad things might seem to be. I was a mess when my son got arrested - my anxiety was out of control and I was constantly freaking out over the possible outcomes from the charges. However, Musa was able to calm me down with his positive out look no matter how may times I called or texted him - and believe me, I did my fair share of calling! I have only wonderful things to say about Musa - he is very professional, courteous, compassionate and an excellent lawyer! Most importantly, he is an amazing human being and he treated my son like his own. Our family is so appreciated of everything Musa did for our son and we are thrilled by the outcome of the case. Thank you, Musa, from the bottom of my heart - I could not have asked for more. I also want to say thank you to David Glass for referring us to you.
- ★★★★★Honest and tells it how it is

- ★★★★★Truly one of the best—Musa changed my life
Hanna · litigation ·
I should have written this review years ago, but when someone has such a lasting impact, it’s never too late to give credit where it’s due. Musa represented me in my first ever legal case—a serious one—and I honestly couldn’t have asked for a better attorney. I was scared, confused, and had no ide a what to expect. From the very beginning, Musa was steady, knowledgeable, and—most importantly—genuinely compassionate. He never treated me like a case file or just another client. He treated me like a person who deserved to be heard and understood. He guided me through every step of the process with clarity and care. He took the time to explain things, answer questions, and most importantly, he showed up—prepared, present, and fully committed to fighting for the best possible outcome. And he delivered. Musa is worth every penny and then some. He brings not just expertise, but heart—and that combination is rare. If you’re looking for an attorney who truly cares, who takes your case seriously, and who will give it everything he’s got—Musa is your guy. Don’t hesitate, just call him. (And no, I don’t plan to need a lawyer again—but if I ever do, I already know who I’m calling!)
- ★★★★★Attorney Musa - Professional, Knowledgeable, and Straight to the Point
Jason Lee · family law ·
Attorney Musa was very patient, understanding, and strategic regarding my Court Case Hearing which was scheduled the next day. He represented me by learning the case in short notice and we were victorious at my TPO Hearing. He viewed my situation and me as a person not as price tag for service. At torney Musa displays the true definition of customer service, professionalism, and integrity when it comes to Lawyer Representation. Much Respect and Thanks for your willingness to represent me on short notice.

Ghanayem & Rayasam, LLC law firm saved my career and future. This review is Specially for Mr. Musa Ghanayem. THANK YOU, SIR, I have been charged with simple battery case (Domestic Violence). Initially I hired a lawyer who spoke about his 26 years of experience and convinced me to hire him. Because of this case my employer put me into notice period of 2 months and gave me time until August 31 to get my case sorted out. My lawyer just aggravated the situation so badly with the public prosecutor due to his inability to explain the facts, things got worse, and the prosecutor was on the verge of convicting me. I had lost all hopes and was ready to accept what comes in my way to lose my job and go homeless. With no more options left, i contacted Musa Ghanayem on August 18th ‘2020 as a last resort and explained him my situation.All Musa said is to keep high hopes but as it was very less time for him to work on the case he couldn’t guarantee to solve it within Aug 31st but was confident enough to solve the case. Musa Ghanayem understands and respects his clients .I never called him for updates, Musa himself called every day and updated me about the progress giving me that extra confidence that he is actively working on the case. Guess what ,Musa just turned the tables so quickly and took my case as a challenge, went out of the way to help me out to save my job. Just in 4 business days he got my case dismissed with no further proceedings with a simple condition to undergo Family intervention program.Anyone looking for a trustworthy Attorney in Georgia /NY never ever think twice just close your eyes and keep faith in Musa he will get you the best possible verdict based on the criticality of the case. Please don’t waste your money as I did hiring 2 lawyers before hiring Musa.Due to his expertise and professionalism shown towards his work & his clients ,he has built a very good reputation with top officials in the law field. All I say is Thanks you so much Musa and God bless you & your family. I know I have just 5 stars to rate you, but I am so impressed with the outcome, you deserve 100 stars for your expertise as an Attorney and to be such a good human being. Cheers and good luck
- ★★★★★If you’re honest, she will help you

I got arrested for my second life timeDUI in October of 2024 with an BAC of . 300. Initially, I wanted to plea to what the courts of Cobb county wanted from me. After having a family discussion, I decided to get an attorney. That’s where Sara fell in. After I found the Richard Lawson law firm, Sara w as assigned to my case. I had already gone through my first and second appearance before I contacted anyone. Not only did she reassure me that I was in the right hands, she proved it. She was able in one month to get my charges reduced significantly and also followed up with me after I got out jail. If you’re HONEST with her, she will help you to the best of her ability, and her ability is profound. I’m grateful for her, and you will be as well. I can’t say enough positive things about her.
- ★★★★★The best lawyer if facing a DUI charge
anonymous · criminal defense ·
Sara was able to get my charges reduced and was flexible on payment plans. She was exactly what I needed in fighting this charge!
- ★★★★★Amazing DUI attorney
anonymous ·
Sara did an amazing job fighting for me in some really bad circumstances. She was emotionally supportive and helpful in everything we encountered. She got the job done and I would highly recommend her.
- ★★★★★Outstanding!
Josh W · dui ·
Sara, is a lifesaver! She communicated, explained everything to me so there were no surprises. She got the outcome I wanted and I am thrilled to recommend her to anyone for her services and experience. If you have a DUI case, HIRE, her. I looked around for weeks and was confused with all the informa tion and she explained everything to me on what laws correct and what information was not correct. I could not be more thrilled with her! Don’t look around and just talk with her. She is the BEST. 10,000 STARS if I could give that. She is amazing!
- ★★★★★DUI reduced to reckless driving
anonymous · dui ·
Over a year ago I was arrested for a DUI. The fear, disappointment, and uncertainty of my future were at the very top of my mind. A few days after my arrest I met Sara and had my consultation. She immediately set my mind at ease and helped me understand all of my options. These feelings I was experie ncing started to soften in my mind. Throughout the year I sat before sentencing Sara checked in on me and updated me when anything was needed for my case. Sara helped me get my charge reduced to reckless driving and stood by me during every step in this process. If you are in a similar situation and experiencing any of these feelings and fear I was, you should hire Sara. She is kind, incredibly smart, and will be such a strong advocate for you. I do not want to begin to think what may have happened if I took another route and did not hire Sara. Thank you, Sara for your unwavering support and faith in me.
