Patricio Barrera

We called Pat when a rental owner was not working with us and demanded money. He saved the day for us with his creative foreword thinking and diligent action and in the end he won our case! Not only is he incredibly hard working, his focus and determination for success is beyond impressive and inspi...ring. To this day he is the first person I call with a question about legal matters. Hire him. He is a winner.

I’m very lucky that Mr. Barrera was taking care of my case. He’s an amazing person, very patient and attentive to his clients, very high ethical, professional and can find a solution in any employment situation, even in a very difficult one. Mr. Barrera is a very reliable and very knowledgeable at...torney. I cannot say enough how professional and talented he is. I would highly recommend Mr. Barrera as an attorney in labor law. He returned me belief that there is justice in this world. I’m very thankful to him and hope that he stays in his business for many many years helping people like me.

I hired Mr. Barrera to handle a relatively complex business dispute. He has superb knowledge of the law and is excellent at working with clients to develop a strategy that works for them. He's an outstanding trial attorney, but will work to settle a case and is an excellent and fair negotiator. I wou...ld highly recommend Pat Barrera.

Barrera & Associates had my case details as early as March. It involved whistleblower retaliation, wrongful termination, and Medi-Cal fraud at a psychiatric facility. I provided them with documentation, emails, HR records—everything they asked for. Their paralegal even followed up to confirm my inter...est and requested additional materials. I complied every time. Then, after weeks of silence, they finally declined to represent me in June. Not because the case lacked merit—but because of “workload.” By then, months had passed and my statutory deadlines were dangerously close. Let’s be honest: this isn’t about bandwidth. It’s about fear. No one wants to touch a case that exposes institutional fraud tied to state funds. So instead of being transparent from the jump, they slow-walked it and left me hanging. If you’re facing real retaliation—don’t count on this firm. They may say they fight for workers, but when the fight gets ugly, they disappear.
