Fabulous Law Firm
Dear Ms. Barton, Thank you so much for your prompt professionalism & outstanding handling of our case. Our family never experienced a criminal matter before, so we are grateful that you represented us. Your associate Luisa did an amazing job explaining the administrative process to us. We would encourage others to have you represent them. A plus!! Warm Regards, The Harney Family

So Thankful for Veronica and her team
Veronica and here team were excellent. I had her cell phone to text and contact her directly. She responded to all emails, texts, and phone calls. I always felt important. This was never more obvious than when Veronica emailed me her outline of how they were approaching the case. Everything that I had been sending her, or talking to her about was in that outline. Veronica and her team listened to what was important to me and included it all. Oh yea, and WE WON!! Thank you Veronica and Barton Defense

Response from Veronica Barton October 28, 2020
Thank you so much, Rosa! Especially considering that the DA would not give us a plea deal any lower than 25 to life, it was one of the absolutely best moments of my legal career to hear that "not guilty" verdict! I'm so happy for you and your family and wish you all the best in the future.

Highly recommend; worth every penny
I’ve come to Veronica several times for legal advice. I’ve consistently been impressed by her breadth and depth of knowledge. I’ve spoken to many great attorneys but I’ve yet to meet one with Veronica’s level of creativity and strategic thinking. Be careful when choosing an attorney: different attorneys get different results and it’s clear that Veronica is not only a brilliant attorney but also goes above and beyond the call of duty, putting in extra time and effort to get superior results. She’s worth every penny. One time I came to Veronica for advice: I had thoroughly researched the laws myself and thought I had a detailed understanding. But Veronica filled me in on a few details I had missed which were absolutely crucial and completely changed my perspective.
