A Beacon of HOPE

After hiring several lawyers with no success, I was at a loss with no light at the end of the tunnel for my mother's custody case. Then I met Luis Bareto, and it felt like God placed him in my path. He truly lit up that tunnel for me, he is my mother’s and I hero! His expertise, compassion, and dedic...ation made all the difference, and I can't thank him enough. I am extremely grateful, I would trust him with my eyes closed. I highly recommend him and his team to anyone in need. - Maggie Mosquera

Steady Hand in Frustrating Case

We retained Luis on a guardianship + trust dispute matter. Luis’s steady, experienced hand got us through this ugly, tragic mess with as good a result as we could have hoped for under very difficult circumstances. It goes with out saying that we got excellent advice and support from Luis and his team.... It is more difficult to express how much his personable manner, sense of humor, and compassion helped us through this emotional roller coaster.

Best probate and litigation attorney.

I had a very difficult case. When I contacted Mr. Barreto he listened and fought hard to represent my best interests. I could not give him 10 stars (which he deserves) as the site only allows 5, If you are looking for a probate/litigation expert don't waste any time and contact Mr. Barreto you wil...l be glad you did.

Avvo Rating

Our Rating is calculated using information the lawyer has included on their profile in addition to the information we collect from state bar associations and other organizations that license legal professionals. Attorneys who claim their profiles and provide Avvo with more information tend to have a higher rating than those who do not.

What determines Avvo Rating?
  • Experience & background Years licensed, work experience, education
  • Legal community recognition Peer endorsements, associations, awards
  • Legal thought leadership Publications, speaking engagements
  • Discipline Disciplinary information may not be comprehensive, or updated. We recommend that you always check a lawyer's disciplinary status with their respective state bar association before hiring them.
