Married to my law school sweetheart, I live with my husband and our three delightful daughters in Ventura County. When not consulting with clients or home schooling my daughters, you can find me doting on my two beautiful standard poodles or volunteering with my entire family at a Christian Legal Aid clinic.
I began my legal career as a business litigator, representing large corporate clients after graduating from the UCLA School of Law in 1999. Motherhood, as well as my heart for families and our diverse community inspired me, however, to transition my practice to estate planning. I now devote myself to providing clear and compassionate legal counsel, in both English and Spanish, to clients desiring to protect their legacies for the sake of their loved ones.
An estate plan not only provides for the disposition of one’s assets upon passing, but perhaps more importantly, also nominates guardians for one’s minor children in the event of an untimely death. Advanced health care directives, powers of attorney, and revocable trusts also protect one and one’s family in the event of incapacity.
Do not allow a court to make deeply personal, life-altering decisions for your loved ones through blind enforcement of intestacy laws, unintended guardianship decrees, and costly probate proceedings. Though you may have passed on, your spouse, children and heirs could be left behind with significant costs, burdens, and court orders that you never intended for them.
If you need to prepare your estate plan or to update your current estate plan, I encourage you to wait no longer. Please call me. I would love to help protect your legacy.

I was so glad that a close friend recommended Mrs. Barba to update our outdated Trust. She is very honest and explains all the charges up front. She has a wonderful grasp of the law and made it really simple for us to make our Trust current again. She cares about her clients so it's truly my pleas...

I feel so fortunate that we found Claudia Barba! Years ago, my parents fell for a large company that solicited elders. It was not a good experience, and they never finished the trust. My husband found Claudia through her online reviews. He chatted with her first by phone and was very impressed. The e...

Claudia was recommended to us by a friend and she far exceeded his recommendations. We had talked with a couple of other lawyers about our need for estate planning before we found Claudia and they were both rather impersonal and only seemed interested in offering us pro forma services for what seeme...

I would recommend Claudia Barba and her team to anyone who needs legal services. Claudia was very attentive to me as I explained my need for a living trust and will. She asked all the necessary questions to understand my case needs. Claudia then explained the California law and proceed to explain how...
"Claudia and I have been working together for a few years now and I can say without reservation that she is an excellent attorney. She is smart, ethical and takes good care of her clients. Being able to assist clients who are more comfortable speaking Spanish is a real asset in this community. I endorse her wholeheartedly."
