Real Estate, Wills and Adoption

My husband and I have used Jesse Barrientes for several Real Estate transactions, Wills and adoption. He is extremely knowledgeable, sharp, personable, thorough and very trustworthy. His advice throughout the 10 + years have been invaluable. Jesse Barrientes genuinely cares about his clients. *...We highly recommend him*

Excellent Attorney!!

Jesse Barrientes is an amazing lawyer. He is a proficient attorney and his attention to detail is remarkable. My family has used him for many years, and continue to use his legal expertise, to this day. We have used him for divorces, criminal defense, wills/probate and real estate. Jesse is great... at returning phone calls, and handles all paper work in a, more than timely manner. You will not be disappointed in his legal abilities, and he will be by your side, fighting for you, until the very end. I highly recommend Jesse Barrientes for your legal needs. He does not disappoint!!!

Child Support / Employment / Wills

I’ve used two other attorneys in the past so I have comparison. Mr. Barrientes has consulted/handled four issues for me, including child support, end of life planning and an employment concern. He is easy to talk to, listens and responds and he understands my concerns are important to me and treats ...them as such. When I’ve emailed concerns or left messages he replies. I don’t have to call/email several times. He was courteous and aggressive in my dispute. Without getting into too much detail, I thought I was heading towards a long dispute, Mr. Barrientes remembered an off handed comment I had made months earlier that I never realized could be used in my case. He researched it and my case was settled. Saved me much time and potentially a lot of money. I recommend Mr. Barrientes to everyone.

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.
