He represents clients across all levels of state and federal court, regularly drafting persuasive briefs, arguing cases before appellate courts, and providing comprehensive research support across the firm’s practice areas.

Mr. Barkey brings extensive experience to appellate proceedings alongside substantial trial work in third-party auto claims, first-party no-fault matters, and uninsured motorist disputes.
