BEST Child Sex Crimes Attorney!

We are incredibly grateful to Carrie Thomas and the entire Barbieri Law Firm team for the exceptional representation they provided to our teenage son during an extremely difficult and frightening time for our family. Our son was accused of child sexual assault after meeting a 13-year-old girl who ...had represented herself as being older and told him she was in high school. From the very beginning, Carrie and the Barbieri team provided outstanding service, guidance, and support. They went above and beyond to answer our countless questions, keep us informed, and be available during the pivotal moments of the case. The Barbieri team worked tirelessly on our son’s behalf, including having their private investigator interview witnesses and thoroughly investigate the circumstances surrounding the allegations. Their hard work and dedication ultimately resulted in a no-bill decision by the Grand Jury, meaning no formal charges were filed against our son. There are no words that can fully express how grateful we are to Carrie and the entire Barbieri team. They stood by our family when we needed it most and helped protect our son’s future. We will always be thankful for everything they did for him and for our family.
