Hired Law Firm
This is the second time I have had to use Mr. Barbieri and her services for two completed unrealted situations. The first was several years ago. This time I was accused of something that I didn't do. Mrs. Barbieri and her team believed in me. They were one of the only ones who did. They made me fell like I was their most important top priority every time I deal with Mrs. Barbieri or one of her staff. You're not going to fine someone who is as passionate, knows how to build a strong defense, knows how to poke holes in the state's argument and is not afraid for fight than Mrs. Barbieri.
Never felt so empowered!! When my case wrapped up two weeks ago, the paralegal at Barbieri Law Firm asked how my experience was overall and if there was anything else that they could have done to make the journey with Ms. Barbieri and her team better. My initial reaction was shock. I can see a fancy restaurant asking, but a law firm? Then, I thought about her question. I have to admit, I was stumped. There was nothing more or better they could do. First and most importantly, they helped me deal with an embarrassing legal matter. And I realize a lot of people might not feel comfortable leaving a review with their actual name. But, I don't care. Yes, I messed up. I'm human. But I was never felt belittled by these guys once. They were respectful, empathetic, and really, really wicked smart and great at what they do. That is why I am going back and leaving reviews for anyone who needs legal help. These guys are the very best in their field, hands down.
From the moment I walked into Barberi Lawfirm, I knew I was in the right place. The front desk staff immediately set the tone, they were exceptionally kind, welcoming, and genuinely attentive. Didi Louzon and Carrie Thomas, in particular, went above and beyond from the very beginning. They made me feel at home, took the time to understand my needs, and consistently checked in on me; not as just another client, but as a person. What stood out most was that there was never any pressure; just a sincere desire to make sure I was okay and comfortable every step of the way.
I am incredibly grateful for the support and guidance I received from the Barbieri Law Firm team during one of the most difficult times in my life. From the very beginning, they treated me with genuine care, respect, and understanding, which made a huge difference in how I navigated my situation. Their team was not only highly professional and knowledgeable, but also very personable—they took the time to explain everything, answer my questions, and make sure I felt confident every step of the way. Thanks to their hard work and dedication, my case was closed without any repercussions, and we are now in the process of pursuing a full expunction. I truly cannot thank them enough for their commitment and support. If you find yourself in a difficult situation and need a team that will stand by you, fight for you, and genuinely care about your outcome, I strongly recommend reaching out to Barbieri Law Firm. They made all the difference for me.
I contacted the Barbieri Law Firm after a terrible lapse in judgment. I was worried sick about my criminal exposure and the personal and professional consequences that would ensue. At my initial consultation, the managing attorney gave me a candid and realistic assessment of my situation. While no one could relieve my fears at the time, I left convinced that I had found the most knowledgeable and experienced attorneys available for my predicament. Thereafter, I met with Ms. Gavigan and her team. They drilled down into the specifics of my case and put everything into context. The time they spent with me was reassuring and helped me understand the process going forward. For months they monitored my case weekly to keep me apprised of any developments. The highly skilled women at the Barbieri firm were just what I needed during one of the lowest points in my life.
My experience with Barberi Lawfirm has been outstanding from start to finish. The front desk staff was incredibly welcoming, and Didi Louzon and Carrie Thomas immediately made me feel at home with their kindness and genuine care. They checked in on me often and never made me feel pressured—only supported. Natalie Evans has been an exceptional associate attorney—always on time, thorough, and clear in explaining every step and option. She handles everything with professionalism and precision. Taylor Brayton and Samantha Padalino have been amazing paralegals, always quick to respond, organized, and on top of every detail. Kim Voigt-Eanes was also wonderful, working closely with my wife and me on documentation with patience and care. Ricardo Oviedo truly stands out—he makes you feel heard, empowered, and supported every step of the way. Barberi Lawfirm exemplifies servant leadership, and I highly recommend them to anyone seeking trustworthy, compassionate legal representation.
I sure do love these ladies at Barbieri Law Firm. I now live in New Orleans, but my son lives in DFW and ran into some trouble. Even though he's on his own, once a mother, always a mother! So, I helped him and did a bunch of reasearch. I came across Barbieri Law Firm on Lawyers.Com and Google. And they were great. Really great. Honest, hard working. Smart. They helped my son every step along the way. Thanks, ladies!
The Barbieri Law Firm is a game changer. I know its sounds dramatic to say this, but it's 100% my reality, but they changed my life. I was ruined. I thought my life was forever destroyed. I thought I would be spending years in prison. I was in a deep depression, my anxiety was off the charts, I couldn't sleep for weeks. But after the very first initial consultation, I had hope for the first time in a long time. They listened to me, they heard me out, and they are just a group of positive people who are dedicated and work super hard. Now I am on my way to having my life back and especially my freedom. I cant think you enough. Some lawyers consider what they do a job or a career, but this group it is a mission and a calling.
Ms. Barbieri is a brilliant and compassionate attorney. She believed in me, she trusted me, she listened to me. She is wicked smart. And like all great leaders, she surrounds herself with a great team. I interviewed four attroneys, and thought I found the best. I hired him. I was miserable. I could never get a straight answer. He was condescending when I was able to talk to him. So, I found the Barbieri Law Firm. I was actually at a hearing, and I was talking to the someone in the cafeteria. Turns out it was a prosecutor. I asked the prosecutor who she hates going up against the most. And she said: "Heather Barbieri." without even hesitating or thinking about it. So, I searched. I read her reviews and thought it was too good to be true. But, it's not. She is that great.
Deciding to hire Barberi Law for my husband’s federal appeal was the worst financial decision I’ve ever made. While they were initially open and helpful in explaining the process, the communication dropped off significantly once they had our money. We were contracted with them for approximately three months, during which they billed us over $25,000. Despite these massive weekly charges for 'research' and 'updates,' absolutely nothing was accomplished. They failed to secure the case discovery from the original lawyer, and we were told that pulling trial transcripts would only add to our already mounting debt. After three months and a small fortune spent, we never even received a basic answer as to whether an appeal was actually viable. If you are looking for actual results and transparent billing, I strongly recommend going elsewhere. If you enjoy throwing money away for no progress, this is the firm for you.
Martindale-Hubbell® Client Review Ratings™ display reviews submitted by individuals who have either hired or consulted the lawyers or law firms.
The Client Review Rating score is determined through the aggregation of validated responses. People who submit reviews are either individuals who consulted with the lawyer/law firm or who hired the lawyer/law firm and want to share their experience of that lawyer or law firm with other potential clients. Reviewers can be anyone who consults or hires a lawyer including in-house counsel, corporate executives, small business owners, and private individuals.
Martindale-Hubbell validates that a reviewer is a person with a valid email address. As part of the review process, respondents must affirm that they have had an initial consultation, are currently a client or have been a client of the lawyer or law firm identified, although Martindale-Hubbell cannot confirm the lawyer/client relationship as it is often confidential. The content of the responses is entirely from reviewers.
Prior results do not guarantee a similar outcome and Martindale-Hubbell accepts no responsibility for the content or accuracy of any review. For more information on Martindale-Hubbell Client Review Ratings, please visit our Client Review Page
Martindale Peer Reviews
Martindale-Hubbell® Peer Review Ratings™ are the gold standard in attorney ratings, and have been for more than a century. These ratings indicate attorneys who are widely respected by their peers for their ethical standards and legal expertise in a specific area of practice.
The Martindale-Hubbell Peer Review Ratings process is the gold standard due to its objectivity and comprehensiveness. Lawyers solicited for peer reviews include both those selected by the attorney being reviewed and lawyers independently selected by Martindale-Hubbell. All reviewers are verified as attorneys through Martindale-Hubbell’s extensive attorney database. Only attorneys practicing at least three years and receiving a sufficient number of reviews from non-affiliated attorneys are eligible to receive a Rating.
What are the different Martindale-Hubbell Peer Review Ratings?*
• AV Preeminent®: The highest peer rating standard. This rating signifies that a large number of the lawyer’s peers rank him or her at the highest level of professional excellence for their legal knowledge, communication skills and ethical standards.
• Distinguished: An excellent rating for a lawyer with some experience. This rating indicates the attorney is widely respected by their peers for high professional achievement and ethical standards.
• Notable: This rating indicates that the lawyer has been recognized by a large number of their peers for strong ethical standards.
Lawyers who have received peer reviews after 2009 will display more detailed information, including practice areas, summary ratings, detailed numeric ratings and written feedback (if available). Details for individual reviews received before 2009 are not displayed.
Attorneys that receive reviews from their peers, but not a sufficient number to establish a Martindale-Hubbell Peer Review Rating, will have those reviews display on our websites.
Ratings and reviews are feedback from people who have either consulted an attorney about an issue (but may not have hired the attorney) or people who hired an attorney as a current or former client and provided their feedback to our sister site, Avvo.com.
