Barbieri Law Firm is proud to share that Founder Heather Barbieri has been named to D Magazine’s 2026 Best Lawyers in Dallas list in the category of Criminal Defense.
This marks Heather’s fifth consecutive year receiving this recognition, with honors listed by D Magazine for 2022, 2023, 2024, 2025, and 2026.
For Heather, this recognition is meaningful because it reflects the respect of her peers in the legal community. D Magazine’s Best Lawyers in Dallas list is based on peer nominations and editorial review, recognizing attorneys across the Dallas area who have earned a strong reputation within their field.
For clients, the recognition speaks to something even more important: expertise and trust.
When someone is facing a criminal accusation, the stakes are rarely limited to the courtroom. A charge can threaten a person’s career, family, reputation, education, immigration status, and future opportunities. In those moments, experience matters. Judgment matters. Strategy matters.
Heather has built Barbieri Law Firm around those principles.
As a Board-Certified Criminal Defense Lawyer, Heather leads a team known for serious preparation, strategic defense, and the ability to protect clients through some of the most difficult and high-stakes moments of their lives. The firm’s work begins long before trial. From the earliest stages of a case, the team focuses on investigation, leverage, negotiation, mitigation, and positioning each client for the best possible outcome.
While awards are never the measure of a client’s experience, this recognition reflects the standard Heather has set for the firm: elite criminal defense, disciplined advocacy, and an unwavering commitment to protecting futures and reputations.
Congratulations to Heather on this well-earned recognition.
