Very Professional

Tina and her staff are very professional and timely in the handling of legal matters. Never any issues and they got my case dismissed.

DUI

I hired Tina Barberi to handle my DUI case. I totaled my car from hitting a curb. The officers took over an hour or 2 to respond to my accident. After a bunch of court appearances, the charges against me were dismissed because Tina fought really hard to win my case. I was never convicted of my DU...I and I am so happy with my results. I will definitely refer her to my family and friends.

Best defense lawyer in Fresno

My father had a case hanging over him for years that Tina was able to over turn, her defense was strategic and remarkable. I’ve never seen a lawyer so efficient, i was proud to have her by our side and am forever grateful for her services.

Dismissal

My husband had a minor traffic violation, VC 21453(c), red arrow turn violation, so I contacted Ms. Barberi’s office in regard to the citation. She charged us a reasonable and fair price. We never had to worry if something wasn’t taken care of. She even notified us by mail of the upcoming court da...tes and the outcome of his case which was dismissed with no fine and no point on my husband’s driving record. I would recommend her to anyone else fighting traffic cases because they tell you everything upfront and explain what they can and cannot do for you.

Now that I am also a private defense lawyer I routinely talk with Ms. Barbieri about theories of cases and get her feedback. Her experience as a defense lawyer is a valuable resource that I appreciate every time I talk to her. She is highly recommended."

"When I was just a student, Tina Barberi came to me and gave me an opportunity to work with her on writing motions. It was a great chance for me to not only begin networking, but to learn more about being a lawyer. Over the years since then, I have had the opportunity to observe her in court, and to watch her interacting with her clients. I know that she is a caring attorney who will fight for her clients."

"I have known Tina since she began to practice law more than a decade ago. She has always impressed me. She is really smart, really quick on her feet, and always cares that she is doing the right thing and getting the best results for her clients. While the majority of her practice seems to be devoted to DUI and traffic, I know from co-defendant cases we have had, and from watching her in court and in judges’ chambers, that she is a very effective advocate in felony matters such as narcotics and gang cases, among others. In a case that we had three or four years ago, she sort of took over the chambers discussion (in which the court, Deputy District Attorney, and the defense attorneys meet to talk about a case or cases) and when she was done she had managed to persuade the court to shave a year off of everyone’s (already good) indicated sentence. Certainly she is someone you can trust to give you her best all of the time and I am happy to endorse her."

What determines Avvo Rating?
  • Experience & background Years licensed, work experience, education
  • Legal community recognition Peer endorsements, associations, awards
  • Legal thought leadership Publications, speaking engagements
  • Discipline Disciplinary information may not be comprehensive, or updated. We recommend that you always check a lawyer's disciplinary status with their respective state bar association before hiring them.
