Joshua Anthony Barreda

I had a complicated legal issue I needed help with and I am glad I found Barreda Law. They were professional, took the time to explain complicated legal language to me and fought hard for me at trial. They didn't overcharge me and provided excellent service for the money. If your case ends up at tria...l you want a competent attorney, like Mr. Barreda, who is used to fighting in a trial setting. Can't say enough good things about this team, they are a class above the rest!

Josh and Karen and their team were a god send!!! They are experienced and know what they’re doing. They are down to earth and tell you how it is. I was going through a custody battle with an ex who was extremely petty. Who was keeping our child from me without valid court orders. Josh and the team at... Barreda Law made sure I knew what to expect and really made sure they had a grasp of what I was dealing with. In the end we got exactly what we were asking for and my ex was reprimanded by the judge. I feel that I got a million dollar defense for the most affordable prices. Do not sleep on hiring this team. You will not be disappointed.

I can't even begin to express how grateful I am for Josh Barreda and his paralegal Karen. When I say he fights like you are family, I mean he takes the details of your case, your feelings, concerns, intentions and learns them like the they are his own. Josh has been my attorney through 2 differ...ent custody disputes years apart (same ex-husbsand and kid). The first time around, he dominated in court, and not only was I able to keep primary custody of my son, but the judge ruled that my ex-husband had to pay the cost of my attorney fees, SCORE! He reminded me all along that my request for attorney's fees was a stretch, it is not usually awarded in custody cases, but Josh got it done!! Fast forward a few years, and my ex-husband has filed another petition to modify custody, parenting time and child support. I immediately called Josh. The situation has been contentious and every time my ex-husband harassed me, my son, my family or my friends, I went right to Josh to let him know what's up. He always responds right away - I tell him I need a Josh Pep talk and he calms me down with his words, and gives me the confidence to keep fighting for what is best for my son. We just had our temporary orders hearing and Josh was a rock-star even though it was virtual and through a computer screen! He called out my ex-husband on every one of his lies and gave me the freedom and guidance to plead my case to the judge in a very small amount of time. We were supposed to get an answer that day, and when we did not, Josh did the right thing by prepping me for the worst case scenario. That is one great thing about him that I haven't found in other lawyers, he won't BS you and tell you what you want to hear - he will tell you his honest opinion based on the facts of the case and how he thought the trial went. So while we waited he stayed in touch with me with reassuring texts, but when the judgement came back in our favor, he texted and called me right away (like 6:45 in the morning) and celebrated right along with me. Those are two of the greatest relief moments of my life that I was able to have thanks to Josh. I just can't say enough about him. The correspondence with Karen Silva has been a breeze, she is so sweet and sends me reminders before things are due, and they write up these amazing documents with very clear & concise instructions when I've been hit with bizarre discovery requests. I was blown away with the way she wrote up my pre-trial statement and response, everything that they produced was written like they were my own words. They managed to capture all of my feelings and convictions into words so there is no doubt my point got across to the judge and opposing counsel. I will always and forever trust him to help me navigate any kind of legal situation that arises (hopefully this is the last one) because he has the perfect mix of talent and compassion. He's the best!!

I was at the beginning of what I knew would be a long and nasty custody battle. Cantor put Josh Barreda and his paralegal Karen on my case and I felt like I hit the jackpot. They made such a difficult and emotional process easier and walked me through every phase perfectly. They set clear expectation...s from the beginning, and they were beyond friendly and understanding even during the most frustrating and painful times. Knowing that I had Cantor Law and Josh & Karen in my corner gave me so much comfort and I am forever grateful for everything they have done to help me since day one. I was blown away in court at how prepared Josh was, and his willingness to fight for me. Their hard work has meant the world to me and because of them, my daughter and I can live a happy and peaceful life. I cannot thank them enough, they are literally my heroes!

I am so thankful and VERY bless to have met Mr. Joshua A. Barreda! I called in to Cantor Law the day after I was served with notice to appear with a 2 week notice and they got me in for a free consult that day. The first man I met took the time to get to know my case along with my personality and tha...t is when they paired me with Joshua. At Cantor Law Group the they are more than “just a business” they care and take the time to help you through every bend in the road. I can not say enough about Joshua however, I felt like he was more than just my lawyer, he became a friend. Joshua cared about my case on a level I didn’t think was possible, when I would call in upset or crying over documents he was already waiting! He took the time to get to know ME to the point that he knew before he sent me the Respondents papers he knew to make sure he was available if I called (which I always did!). It never seemed to matter how many times I needed to call or email Mr. Barreda ALWAYS responded quickly with all the answers or reassurance I needed. He is confident but also realistic and never gives you false hope, he never mislead me. He was always professional and efficient, especially in trial! I appreciated him more than I think he truly knows. I loved being a client because of him along with the other staff there at the office. (I loved his paralegal Erica d’Entremont! I was very sad to hear she departed the firm to purse life with her family in another state, but so glad I was able to meet and work with her for the majority of my case) I will close with this, I am not your “typical” woman, I don’t dress fancy, I walked into their very beautiful downtown Phoenix high rise office, feeling very intimidated myself, with my worn out cowboy boots, jeans and grunt style t-shirts, but I NEVER felt judged or less important than someone who may walk in with a $3,000 suit. They are so friendly, kind, caring and attentive making it always a comfortable experience.
