Pat and his team are incredible. They are extremely empathetic, supportive and hardworking. I cannot recommend Pat and his team more for anyone looking for an incredible lawyer that will fight for you and support you with your journey. Thank you Pat and team!!

I had a case with Pat and his team. Everyone was always very kind and would answer all the questions I had. He definitely took the time to listen and used all of the information given to him so that we had a positive outcome on our case.

Best attorneys Dave stay in touch with me through out the whole process he gets the job done

Pat is a phenomenal lawyer. He has the perfect match of curiosity, understanding and dedication to help people he believes were hurt or wronged. He is fearless. I witnessed him in court presenting and delivering in such a calm way, unlike anything I had seen before. Best part? He brought up an issue of the case that I didn't think was necessary and it was the 1 single piece that brought peace and victory. Brilliant!

So far, so good, I spoke with Gina who is the office coordinator, waiting to see if they take my age discrimination case! Updating my post from 2 weeks ago: I just met with Mr. Pat Barrera! It was a pleasantly comfortable meeting where I felt he really listened to what I said! Pat (he asked me to call him that) treated me with dignity and respect! During the meeting I could feel a huge burden and uncertainty lifted from my shoulders, Pat is a straight shooter and tells it like it is (from his over 20 years experience) and what I could expect as far as compensation. The staff is courteous and kind too. I will sleep better at night knowing my case is in this Soldiers hands! Thank you Barrera & Associates

This firm is the best hands down the absolute best. From day one after meeting Pat and Luiz I was completely comfortable that I was in the company of who I feel is the best employment lawyer I could have ever found to represent me. They handled my case in the most professional manner. In my opinion if I would have had any other Lawyer other than Pat Barrera In those mediations the outcome would not have been what it was. Watching Pat do his job for me was Masterful. This firm has a lot of compassion for its clients. I don't believe I could have done better. Once again, Thank You Very Much. Eric J.

Terrific trial attorney

I hired Shannon years ago for a clear cut case against the state. She filed the paperwork and then when I called to follow up with her, weeks later, she was vague. She asked, "Didn't my staff send you the response . . . . ?" When I told her I hadn't heard or seen anything, she said she would send it to me. She never did. This was a very stressful time for me, as I became very sick and was ultimately diagnosed with cancer (certainly from all of the stress from the case), so I didn't persist. I realize now, so many years later, that she missed the deadline, by about 2 weeks, and just dropped my case instead of providing a response (justification) to the state on my behalf. I believe she should have been liable for missing this key deadline, which she should have been well aware of. She is personable and seems capable. If you choose to work with her, I recommend that you make sure she is well aware of any critical deadlines and that all of the proper paperwork is filed on time.

I became a client of Shannon's after selling my business. I remained with the new company on a contract basis in an Executive Level Management position. Before the expiration of the contract, my former partner opted to leave the company which may have left me liable for any responsibilities that we otherwise would have shared. I was not advised by either my former partner, nor by the company that this was taking place. In consulting with Shannon, and over the course of about two or three months, all issues of any liability were fully waived. Shannon was extremely professional in dealing with the attorneys of the company, and exhibited impressive knowledge of California law when it came to the terms of my contract. She calmly dealt with the other attorneys and always filled me in on any updates regarding her conversations with them. In the process of doing so, she continually made sure that I felt comfortable with the direction we were going. The strength of our position, as she so capably established, put me in a better standing relative to my contract than even the original terms had been. As mentioned, any and all real or potential liabilities were waived. I could not have asked for better results.
