I am a family and juvenile law attorney practicing in Phoenix, Arizona and the surrounding areas. I began my legal career as an Assistant Attorney General at the Arizona Attorney General's Office representing the Department of Child Safety. In this position I appeared in several hundred juvenile court hearings, mediations, and trials. As a result I have extensive experience in Juvenile court matters including guardianship and adoption.
Upon resigning from the Attorney General's Office, I started as an attorney with the Cantor Law Group and therafter Barreda Law, PLLC. My practice includes: dissolution of marriage, legal separation, child support, paternity, parenting time, legal decision-making (formerly "custody"), spousal maintenance, modifications and enforcement of existing orders, relocation, orders of protection, injunctions against harassment, DCS cases, dependency, termination of parental rights, and adoption.
