"Last night Jim Barlow very kindly agreed to come down to Wilmington to attend an informational meeting on the topic of continuing our town manager form of government.  For about an hour Jim explained the complexities of changing our current form of town government.   His knowledge of the subject was quite impressive and his impartiality was clearly apparent.   The audience got a thorough education on the subject. 

I just wanted to let you know how much we appreciated Jim's coming to the meeting and how impressed we were with his knowledge of the subject. As one citizen put it to me after the meeting, 'The man is a treasure.'" 

Tom Consolino, Former Wilmington Selectboard Chair 

Town Clerk

"Thank you for all the responses to our shouts for help regarding the wide variety of issues we face. These things send us into situations where we feel stuck, threatened, or just unsure of how to proceed.  Your reassurance, quick knowledge base, and thoughtful ideas have been extremely valuable to me and other town officials."

Sally Ober, Lincoln Town Clerk

City Manager

"Jim is an extremely capable attorney and he provided great legal advice and support to virtually every function of city government. Jim has an amazing ability to consume and process information and then repeat it back in terms that the layperson can understand. Jim not only provided legal counsel but he was an important member of our management team."  

Kevin Dorn, South Burlington City Manager
