Civil suit in federal court .


"Louis Barry was my investigator for my sexual abuse case. As a victim, I sought Justice. He was both professional and personal in his work. His findings through his investigation helped my trial very much, resulting in a substantial award. He understood what I was going through as a survivor and kept me updated which helped my anxiety immensely. I would highly recommend him as an investigator."
