Gets results

This was the first time I had ever been arrested. The police were called by a witness after a long night of drinking. The arrest was for Domestic Violence, with the “alleged victim” being on my side. No injuries of any kind. Because of this, I felt my case was very weak but with now being in the han...ds of the system, I wasn’t willing to gamble with my life. I did some research and ultimately retained Veronica and her team for their services. I have no regrets about that decision. She moved very quickly with her approach. The price was fair based on my research, and her method was proactive and preventative. She requested a few things from me in order to build a “Do Not File” packet to be sent to the DA, and that is the exact result that was achieved. My case was rejected by the DA and I was able to continue on with my life with this absurd event put behind me. Most communication was through text, which was actually my preference. I would recommend hiring Veronica and her team if you need good representation with experience in Los Angeles.

Thank you so much for trusting me with your case and for taking the time to leave such a detailed review! Absurd is the perfect word to describe how some of these arrests get made. It's so rewarding to help clients like you prevent charges from being filed.

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 enco...urage 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
