DTPA OR PRODUCT LIABILITY CASE

Mr. Barrera, Jr. was my attorney in a DTPA /Product Liability case that involved 4 international corporations. He was a wonderful Plaintiff's Attorney! He kept me up to date on all petitions and motions filed by the defendants and all that were filed on my behalf. He was very quick to answer al...l my phone calls and was very conscientious to use language I would understand when explaining the legal jargon being used in the motions and pleadings etc..... He allowed me to be present during several depositions and accepted any input from me very respectfully. He totally engrossed himself in learning the way my company used the products involved in my lawsuit and thereby thoroughly understood the economic impact the defendants products had on my company. I feel confident that Rick could handle any case he was in involved in with the upmost professionalism. I highly recommend him.

Our Rating is calculated using information the lawyer has included on their profile in addition to the information we collect from state bar associations and other organizations that license legal professionals.

What determines Avvo Rating?
  • Experience & background Years licensed, work experience, education
  • Legal community recognition Peer endorsements, associations, awards
  • Legal thought leadership Publications, speaking engagements
  • Discipline Disciplinary information may not be comprehensive, or updated. We recommend that you always check a lawyer's disciplinary status with their respective state bar association before hiring them.
