Joshua Anthony Barreda

After a long and emotionally heavy custody case, I can say without hesitation that working with Josh Barreda and Karen was one of the best decisions I’ve ever made. They were professional, strategic, responsive, and genuinely cared about doing what was best for my son, Leo. At every step, they exp...lained the process clearly, kept me grounded, and made sure my focus stayed where it belonged, protecting my child and his future. This outcome means everything to our family, and it wouldn’t have been possible without their dedication, experience, and heart. It’s rare to find attorneys who are this sharp and this human. I’m incredibly grateful to have had them in my corner and would recommend them without hesitation to anyone facing a family law matter.

I can’t thank Erin Walters and Josh Barreda enough for everything they did to help me during one of the most stressful times in my life. Navigating a child custody case is never easy, but having them in my corner made all the difference. They were professional, responsive, and truly invested in my ca...se from day one. Thanks to their hard work, dedication, and sharp legal minds, I was able to keep my son here with me—right where he belongs. They fought for my family like it was their own, and that’s something I’ll never forget. Whether it's something big like a custody battle or a small legal concern, you can count on Erin and Josh to be there, ready to fight for you and take care of business. If you're looking for attorneys who truly care and go above and beyond, this is the team you want by your side. I’ll always be grateful for what they’ve done for my son and I.

Joshua, paralegal Leticia, Bonnie, and Erin were all incredible throughout the whole process. They knew exactly what to do and talked me through every step of the process. They all are absolute pitbull's in and out of the court room. Joshua was even able to get my attorney fee's paid back to me. I ca...nnot put into words the amount of trust I have in Barreda Law and I cannot ever thank them enough for helping me save my daughter!

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!

I retained the Barreda Law in December 2021 for my divorce. Within 24 hours of retaining the firm, the owner, Joshua Barreda filed suit and had the opposing party served. From that very first engagement I knew I had made the right choice. Joshua is a high tempo, smart, and strong legal advocate fo...r his clients. He always made the extra effort to calm my fears, uncertainty, and doubts. Throughout over a year long process of constant unreasonable and aggressive tactics employed by the opposing party, Barreda Law consistently blocked and tackled in an incredibly professional and timely manner. Joshua is a solid litigator in trial, although he made every effort to resolve issues prior to trial through mediation. Every opposing argument was extinguished in trial and in the end, he reduced the maintenance length by 85% from the original opposing proposal, secured 50/50 custody for both of my children, and reduced my long-term child support obligations by 25%. The firm is incredibly responsive and friendly to interact with. I especially enjoyed get immediate assistance/guidance from the astute and experienced lead paralegal, Karen. Thank you to Joshua, Karen and the entire team for being such fantastic advocates for my case.
