Pat Barrera is Honest and full of Integrity
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 inspiring. To this day he is the first person I call with a question about legal matters. Hire him. He is a winner.

Excellent Attorney/Labor law
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 attorney. 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.

Excellent business and employment litigation lawyer
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 would highly recommend Pat Barrera.
