This review is from a person who hired this attorney.

Outstanding

My brother and I hired Mrs.Barriga to set up a guardianship for our father a few months ago. She helped prepare the guardianship application, helped us find an appropriate nursing home and aided us in completing the Medicaid application for state benefits. She was very clear with and knowledgeable in... the entire process and left us with peace of mind.

Very professional

My brother and I needed help with our deceased Father's probated will and we hired Mrs. Ashworth-Barriga. She was very knowledgable and efficient. She kept us informed at all times and was readily available when we needed her services. I have already recommended her to another potential client... and will further do so in the future.

A very pleasant and knowlegeable young Attorney

What a very pleasant experience we had with Ms. Barriga. We, like most people, put off having Wills or Living Wills done because we don't know what all it intails. A lot of people tend to think it is too hard to go through the process. We were no different in feeling that way. Ms Barriga made us f...eel relaxed and comfortable when exposing our personal needs and requests. She certainly made the right choice in choosing her field and we certainly made the right choice in choosing her. We have recommended her to our employees and to our families.

My husband was traveling overseas for work and needed several documents to ensure that our family would be covered while he was gone. The documents included Wills including medical information and a Power of Attorney. Mrs. Barriga answered all of our questions thoroughly and clearly. She spent time w...ith us and had answers to all of our questions. Even though she is a fairly new attorney, I could tell that she has had some experience. I would use her again without a doubt.
