The most racist heartless attorney I ever met
Attorney John Barber is strictly a defendant attorney as he just stopped from working at Lewis Brisebois which is strictly a defendant law firm , he is currently representing me , he lied to me and told me that he was a plaintiff attorney , he promised me to do a list of things that he would do once I sign the retainer agreement with him , but after I signed the agreement with him , he excommunicated me , and betrayed me to the defendant and intentionally blew up my mediation to help the defendant ,. he is the most heartless lier racist person , one he knows that you are a minority , he would treat you like an idiot , he is white supremest who is very tough at minorities , he had me signed the retainer agreement so he would reach to my rich defendant and work with him to defeat me , I wouldn’t recommend attorney John Barber to my worst enemy , I hope that he would land in prison to keep him away from hurting any more minorities , again he is the toughest , the racist , the most heartless person that I ever met in my life. I don’t recommend him , and I hope that he would be held accountable for all the wrong he did to me and others. I hope that the State Bar and the Civil Rights Commission would find him and stop him from hurting any more minorities.
