Understanding the System
and Law in Plano and throughout Texas

When the police ask someone to cooperate with an investigation, most people will readily comply. However, a criminal investigation can quickly proceed from a friendly information gathering session to someone being considered a suspect. The participation and defense of a well-practiced lawyer based in Plano and serving the needs of clients throughout the state of Texas for over 20 years will successfully protect an individual’s rights and avoid missteps that could lead to severe criminal charges and significant jail time.

The competence of a defendant’s legal counsel is paramount to success because, without resolve and an authentic passion to fight for clients’ freedom and let their story be told, experience, and know-how, an attorney’s recommendations and actions could lead to disappointing results (e.g., accepting an unfavorable plea bargain).

WHAT OUR CLIENTS ARE SAYING

HELP IS ON THE WAY!

I did a ton of research trying to find the best lawyer to help my husband with a wrongful accusation for a white collar crime he was accused of. I thought I found the best attorney out there. I was rather disappointed. I was very fortunate that one day we had to go to the courtroom for a hearing. My attorney didn’t show and finally sent me a note that he was running 45 minutes late. I guess this is typical of a lot of lawyers. While we were waiting, Mrs. Barbieri had a hearing for one of her clients. We were both blown away by her prowess. My husband and I looked at each other with the same thought: ‘should we talk to her to help us.’ I approached her as she was walking out. At first, she was hesitant because we already had an attorney and she wanted to be respectful. But, when our attorney finally showed up, we told him we would no longer need his services. The next morning I called Mrs. Barbieri up and hired her right on the spot.
