AMAZING TEAM!

Where to even begin with Bonnie and Loni, they are one FANTASTIC TEAM and work with one HECK of a firm! They not only won my case but fought for me to no end! They were absolutely amazing with communication, and ALWAYS addressed my questions/concerns in a very timely manner! I would recommend these w...oman at Barreda Law through and through!

Phenomenal team lucky to have had them ( long read but it's woth it )

Let me start off by saying that both Bonnie and her paralegal Loni are phenomenal. They went above and beyond for me. I had gotten another lawyer who didn't do nothing and left me hanging and a week before my main court hearing I found Barreda Law and Bonnie was assigned to handle my case. I first sp...oke to Loni, who took down my information and was very courteous, nice, and professional. Bonnie then reached out to me a few hours later and went over the details and game plan and after speaking with her my spirits were lifted and I got a glimpse of hope. Hope that I had lost when my other attorney abandoned me. The day of court we presented our case for the judge and I was able to modify the order of protection to be able to see & be with my 3 boys. That was my first victory. My ex wife fought against every single proposition we proposed and had to keep going to court but Bonnie and Loni were always ready with exhibits and testimonies. It was a very long fought battle but after my 3rd hearing the judge ruled in our favor to sell the house. Again using exhibits and testimony from realtors and reviews from the potential buyers. My 2nd victory. There were times where the ex wife didn't answer Bonnie or Loni for weeks when they tried to reach out to her. I can be impatient at times and I would let Bonnie know and she would reassure me that everything is fine and that she hadn't forgotten about me which again lifted my spirits. When the house was sold there was an issue that the realtor did and forgot to put the money into a trust account until we could figure out the marital debt issue. We realized this the day we were signing the title papers. Bonnie & Loni sprung into action and worked against the clock to get an order to halt the transfer of the proceeds of the home which I did. The judge again ruled in our favor to halt the transaction and have the money go into a trust account until the debt issue was addressed and in agreement. My 3rd victory. Again using exhibits and testimonies. After a lot of back and forth with the ex wife we all came into agreements on everything and at the last moment the ex wife wanted to make changes to the final agreements and back to the drawing board we went. If I wasn't sure about a request that was made by the ex wife I would ask Bonnie for her opinion to be able to get a game plan going and she would advise me on what sounded reasonable and what wasn't or what counter we can propose. I went with her suggestions and at the very end we got pretty much everything we asked for. I never once doubted both Bonnie and Loni they gave me peace of mind during my case. That's a huge thing when looking for a family court lawyer and knowing that behind the scenes there's a team working hard to get you what you want in family court. This was by far the best team, best outcome I could ask for. I am extremely lucky to have had them on my side. As of 7/10/2024 my case was closed with our team getting all the wins in court. I can't thank Bonnie and Loni enough for the work they put in to get me this final overall victory. All I know is that I have co-workers that went through the same issue as me and the outcome wasn't the same. They would ask me about Bonnie and I would tell them what she was doing and game plan and they were very impressed with the approach she was taking to ensure everything went smooth and everything was accurate. I hope I don't go through this again but if I do I am definitely coming back to Bonnie and Loni. I will be recommending her any chance I get because I know she delivers results and both her and Loni do exceptional work. If you get to work with them you will not be sorry about your decision. Once again thank you Bonnie and Loni for everything. I am beyond grateful for them.

Amazing Lawyer and Paralegal

Bonnie and her paralegal Loni were an extraordinary team who went above and beyond in handling my case. From the outset, their professionalism, expertise, and genuine care for my situation were evident. Bonnie's extensive legal knowledge combined with Loni's exceptional organizational skills ensured ...that every aspect of my case was meticulously managed. Their clear communication and accessibility made me feel supported and informed throughout the entire process. Together, they navigated through the complexities of my case with precision and dedication, ultimately achieving a favorable outcome that exceeded my expectations. I am immensely grateful for Bonnie and Loni's outstanding efforts and would highly recommend them to anyone in need of exceptional legal representation.

Exceptional attorney

I'm beyond grateful to have found Bonnie to represent me. She has exceeded my expectations. I went through a long process with a severance case and Bonnie helped me through every step of the way and made everything so easy to understand. She was always quick to respond and have answers for me. Bonnie... is very knowledgeable and so talented at what she does. I felt like she knew my story better than I did. Bonnie was a genius in the courtroom. I was very impressed. She won the case for me and it's changed my life and my child's life for the better. I can't thank her enough. I would recommend her to anyone I know. Lonnie was also very helpful with relaying messages or whatever I needed through the process. Thank you both!!

Excellent lawyer

Bonnie was extremely helpful through my divorce process. She is very detailed and thorough. She made sure all boxes were checked and every detail was combed through. She promptly responded when I had questions or needed immediate assistance with something.
