Kristi Barnard

There are not enough words I could type that would convey my absolute appreciation and respect for Ms. Kristi Barnard. I am a father who had had some serious accusations made against me that would have altered my career path. In 2021, I hired Ms. Barnard and she was immediately successful at having t...he case thrown out as there was absolutely no basis for it. My child was in a dangerous situation and Ms. Barnard helped me develop my case, prepare for trial, and win this year. I can rest easy now knowing my child is safe. Ms. Barnard is all the things one would expect from a good lawyer. She is knowledgeable, honest, she will not give you false hope, she is tenacious, and most importantly she has integrity. I kept Ms. Barnard as my lawyer through the years to navigate these issues because she will always fight for her clients and insist on a fair resolution. I am thankful and grateful for her representation.

Prior to Kristi Barnard taking our case, we had three different consultations with attorneys in San Joaquin County. The three attorneys advised my husband that his case was going to difficult since we had relocated out of state and he wouldn’t be able to obtain visitation for his two minor children. ...Since the first time we spoke to Kristi, she provided us reassurance for our case. She didn’t make us any promises on the outcome of the case but she sure did promise to fight and get us the best she could. Kristi got us more than what we were expecting in the first two months of taking our case. She went above and beyond during hearing trials and we are extremely happy with the results. Her office has been extremely helpful to this day and kept us up to date on any matters or issues. Kristi will fight for you in court to get you what you deserve! She is passionate about her clients; she is very confident in the court room and stays up to date on your case. One of my favorite qualities is that she is very easy to communicate with. Thank you Kristi for everything you have done and continue to do for us!

Kristi saved my case! My previous attorney made a huge mess of my case and made me lose custody of my son, after retaining Kristi I was able to get back all my custody of my son. The opposing counsel and my ex have lied and made up horrible stories just to win the case not even caring what’s in the b...est interest of my son. Kristi fought hard to make sure the judge knows which side is in the wrong. If you need someone to stand up and fight hard hire Kristi.

Kristi has been amazing! My husband and I have retained her as a lawyer for two separate cases (family court and SSDI). Kristi guided us through a sometimes confusing, often frustrating and chaotic court process. With family court, she helped us come to a custody agreement with my ex that was most ...beneficial for my son. We were even able to settle ouside of court so it didn't drag out too long. Kristi took over my husbands SSDI case from a group that was never available and did very minimal work and she built a strong case from the ground up. She never promised us anything other than she would give 110% to make the strongest case possible. She is dedicated, straightforward and ready and willing to tell the hard truths. Kristi is down to earth and real. She is not afraid to fight for you. I hope I never need her again, but I know where to turn if I do need a lawyer in the future. I would definitely recommend her to everyone in need of a lawyer.
