Daniel Peter Barrera's Lawyer Endorsements
"Having worked with Daniel Barrera, I can attest to his talent for Personal Injury & Workers Compensation Litigation. I wholeheartedly endorse Daniel Barrera, without reservation."
"I endorse this lawyer. I am a practicing lawyer in Washington, D.C. and Maryland but am not licensed in Virginia. The Virginia cases that I referred to Mr. Barrera have been handled exceptionally well."
"I endorse this lawyer and his professional staff for all matters. While Mr. Barrera dedicates a meaningful part of his practice to accident and worker's compensation cases, he is well skilled in all matters of personal injury as well as immigration law and family practice. I highly recommend him and his office"
"I endorse this lawyer. Dan is a skillful trial attorney who works tirelessly on behalf of his clients."
"Dan is an outstanding trial attorney and an aggressive advocate for his clients. His excellent working knowledge of workers' compensation law and his bilingual skills make him an invaluable resource to the legal community."
"I highly endorse this lawyer. In fact, Dan is my only referral for worker's compensation cases. I know that he will treat the client well and work hard to obtain the best results for the client."
"Dan and I have known each other since 1997, when we worked together at the same trial law firm. By that time, he already was thoroughly experienced as a trial lawyer. Dan has been selfless with his time in brainstorming with me on cases, and sponsored my admission to the federal trial court for the Eastern District of Virginia. Dan speaks Spanish, thus helping to break down the formidable language barriers that often exist in litigation. It has been my pleasure to recommend Dan -- and to continue doing so -- to potential clients for his legal services."
