Amazing ! My superhero attorney here!

My experience with Valerie, at Perera Barnhart Aleman was AMAZING! I could not have asked for better results. I had never been involved in any lawsuit or settlement so I was clueless on what I had to do. I came in to this with alot of anxiety and doubt but Valerie was able to make me feel at ease and... confident the whole time. I had no idea how to approach my problem, and didn't know any of the legal options I had. Her and her team were extremely patient and took me through the entire process with white glove treatment. Valerie was always very positive and reassuring that she would handle things and not to worry too much. I was in a very “difficult” situation and basically cried at times. I always, always felt like I was in good hands. Even when I would start stressing about the situation at hand, she never once left me feeling uneasy or confused , no matter how many times I asked her the same questions. I would recommend using her for any employment or any aspects of your business or risk management, such as contracts, purchase and sale of assets, non-compete agreements, formation of business entities, subcontractor agreements, shareholder agreements, operating agreements, and data privacy compliance, business litigation, business transactions, and employment matters (Even the toughest ones). I told her in one of our many talks that I looked up to her because she is a real go getter for her clients. Tough smart lady here! Her and her whole team is extremely professional and thorough! Highly recommended. Thank you Valerie! VALERIE BARNHART and Team :)

Sincere, Serious, Outstanding Leadership

I had the blessing of having Valerie Barnhart on my side during the proceedings of both of my legal cases that she and her partners accepted and worked tirelessly on as a united team over the last 6 months that ended up resulting in my favor, and I am forever grateful for her insight and dedication t...o my case(s). She is very soft spoken and gracious, but steadfast and assured. It was an honor to have her legal experience, instincts and insight with the many curve balls in my case, and also an honor to meet her and be blessed by her angelic presence. I highly recommend Valerie to anyone needing a plaintiffs attorney. Her firm is the best in South Florida and she will exceed your expectations. Thank you again, Valerie and everyone at Perera Barnhart!
