Cousins!

Please join us in sending our immediate prayers and condolences to the family of long time lawyer #SteveBarnes of #CelinoAndBarnes upon his reportedly recent passing !

According to the NY Post , Barnes was identified as the pilot of a plane that crashed in the wooded upstate area of Genesee County on Friday.

Sources have confirmed that two people were aboard the plane consisting of a man and a woman, that have both been deemed as dead.

Though neither of the plane’s occupants have been identified, sources close to the attorney’s law firm and another lawyer confirmed that Barnes was the pilot.
Reports read that the crashed plane had a single-engine, propellor-powered Socata TBM 700, seats six and had left Buffalo en route to Manchester, NH.

For years the Celina and Barnes attorney office has been deemed a household name due to their catchy jingle commercials, “ Don’t wait! Call 8!” television ad jingle, which features their toll free phone number, (800)888-8888.“

Earlier this year following a chaotic legal battle the both Barnes and Ross Celina Jr decided to split after 30 years.
