Couldn't have asked for better representation

Joshua and his team are without a doubt the best around! They went above and beyond to meet my every expectation and ultimately won my case. Huge shout out to Joshua Barreda and his team of legal experts!

Professional and persistent

If I could give more than 5 stars I would! This was one of the most difficult times in my life and Mr. Barreda and his team were on top of it every step of the way. Josh and Karen were amazing and were always available for any questions I had along the process. I believe that any case they take on wi...ll end in the most favorable. Rest assured that they will handle everything for you from beginning to end. I highly recommend their entire team for any family law matters. They will not disappoint!

Private Severance

First of all, I want to shout out a huge THANK YOU to Mr. Joshua Barreda and his wonderful staff for all of their support and professionalism! Josh, the day finally came for us and it was worth every tear and all the ups and downs of this extremely life changing case! Mr. Barreda took our case on... behalf of my daughter and our precious, innocent grandson. Upon our first consultation, Josh took the challenge of this unique , and complex case . We had been advised prior by family court attorneys that this case could not be done and we would have very little chance of winning. My grandson needed an advocate on his behalf to keep him safe, physically and emotionally, from an absent parent that abandoned him since birth, due to the arrest and criminal charges and a lengthy and prolonged 6 yr criminal trial with his co-defendant. We filed a private severance case and due to the other party's excuse/ argument, it set the case as a precedence. If won by opposing party, it would have altered past and future cases for the worst, including adoptions. During the lengthy trial we united and prevailed as a family in prayer and support and Josh stood strong by our side during this difficult time. He was amazing and we knew he would do everything he could. Josh, did an excellent job in providing exceptional and applicable case text to support the written argument as well as applying it to tear down the defendants defense arguments. Many false allegations and weak excuses by the defendant were brought to light by Mr. Barreda. Josh, took the matter to heart and he knew the seriousness of this matter and the injustice. He dug deep in the final days and used his knowledge and skills along with his tenacity to WIN on behalf of our family! I can say that we truly believe he saved their lives! Words cannot express our gratitude. We are so truly grateful to God for sending us Mr. Barreda. I would also like to say this, for those that are fighting against the odds and protecting your children (we were told by many the verdict we received was equivalent to obtaining a death sentence) nothing is impossible! Mr. Barreda and his law firm obtained that victory. They believed with us and put it into action on behalf of our family! When others told us it was too late and impossible, Josh, had a different opinion and was fearless and bold enough to take it and advocate for the innocents. He knew the law and was aggressive when needed. Needless to say, I highly, highly recommend Barreda Law! We put our most precious things in his hands , our children!

DIAMOND IN THE ROUGH

During my search, I was looking for a DIAMOND IN THE ROUGH. I honestly found that in Josh and Karen. Josh takes your case personally and genuinely wants to help you. He listens to you, guides you, is up front and honest with you. While representing you against the opposing party; he’s calculated,... views different angles, focused, aggressive (if needed), and keeps you informed throughout the process. NEVER did he or his team leave me hanging. His experience definitely is huge factor for YOU! He’s dealt with ‘that other type’ and much worse before. IMO this motivates Josh to work harder on your behalf. Karen, his paralegal, is an allstar behind the scenes! Always prompt, engaged, knowledgeable of your case, and very helpful with communicating with what is needed to assist your case. She works intelligently quick between Josh, you, judicial system, and opposing party. NEITHER MY TIME OR MONEY WAS WASTED! Josh will actually try to save you money where he can. No Joke! BY FAR THE BEST ATTORNEY I’VE EVER HAD! TRUST ME…. You’re getting the best here. Good luck!

Fast and Easy!!

This being my second divorce, unfortunately! I had learned a lot about the process and what to look out for. I worked with Barreda Law firm and couldn't be happier. Joshua, Patrick and Karen worked very quickly in resolving the divorce and I couldn't be more pleased. For those of you complaining ...about the cost, go to California and get divorced. Although any legal team is expensive, I felt that Barreda Law was fair priced. The key is they delivered the final settlement very quickly. Thank you to the team, and I hope I won't be needing you again.
