I first consulted an attorney who, at the time, was not taking on complex cases like mine. With my…read morecriminal record, I was trying to apply for citizenship and was honestly scared about the possibility of being referred to immigration court. She recommended Attorney Noreen--and that recommendation truly changed everything for me. From the very beginning, Noreen showed not only incredible knowledge in both immigration and criminal law, but also genuine care and understanding for my situation. She took the time to guide me, reassure me, and help me feel hopeful during a very stressful and uncertain time in my life. Her experience and dedication made all the difference. What felt overwhelming at first became a smooth and steady process because of her. I am beyond grateful for her support and expertise, and I can't recommend her enough.

Noreen Barcena was very professional throughout my entire case. Sometimes we forget how long our…read morecases can take and how much back and forth communication it takes on both sides to get the best results. Noreen provided me with the best of communication, at times it would be after office hours when I was able to respond to some of her questions and she would answer, which showed me the dedication and distance she's willing to go for her clients. I would continue to use her services in the future as well as recommend her to my friends and family. Needing an attorney is scary no matter what your situation is and in knowing that you hired the right person to handle your case is reassuring. If professionalism, respect, and determination is what you're looking for then Barcena Law Offices is a perfect fit for you.

After being charged, I first contacted the attorney who had handled my previous case, but he had…read moreretired. I then began searching for a new attorney and spoke with several specialists before finding Ann Gottesman. From our very first phone conversation and meeting at her office, I knew I could completely trust her with my case. After thoroughly reviewing my situation, Ann honestly explained that because of my prior record and the circumstances of my case, the chances of getting my charge reduced were extremely low. She was straightforward and did not want me to spend unnecessary attorney fees pursuing unrealistic expectations. Even so, I asked her to continue and do everything possible for my case. Throughout the entire process, Ann guided me step by step and clearly explained everything I needed to do. English is my second language, but she always took the time to make sure I fully understood every detail. She consistently kept me informed about updates in my case and responded promptly whenever I texted or emailed her. Ann is calm, knowledgeable, professional, and highly respected. It was clear to me that her experience and communication skills carried significant weight with the district attorney's office. After nearly a year of persistent work -- including personal conversations, texts, and emails with the district attorney supervisor -- she was eventually able to negotiate a reduced charge for my case. One thing I learned from this experience is how important it is to have an attorney who is familiar with the court system, judges, and district attorneys. Everything I read in Ann's reviews turned out to be completely true. By the end of my case, the outcome itself almost became secondary because I was so impressed by Ann's dedication, honesty, and hard work. She truly treated my case as if she genuinely cared about me as a person, not just as a client. She went above and beyond in every aspect and even continued to help and support me after the case was over. Ann deserves far more than 5 stars -- not only because she achieved a favorable result, but because she truly cares about her clients. If you need legal representation, I highly recommend Ann Gottesman. She is the one attorney who will genuinely help and support you every step of the way.

I don't write many reviews, but after the outcome of my case, I felt David Russomanno deserved one…read more I am an attorney myself, so I am extremely particular about who I trust to represent me. This was also not an ordinary legal matter. It was a highly contested dual restraining order case with significant personal and professional consequences for me, and the outcome was extremely important. I was the person who originally filed for a restraining order. After my petition was filed, the other party filed a competing restraining order request against me. In my view, the other petition essentially took many of the issues and allegations I had raised, mirrored them back against me, and created a false and misleading narrative portraying me as the wrongdoer. Suddenly, I wasn't just pursuing my own restraining order--I also had to defend myself against serious allegations that I knew were not true. Being an attorney didn't make that easier. In some ways, it made it more difficult. When someone is making false statements about you and your reputation and career are potentially at stake, your instinct is to respond to everything and immediately correct every misrepresentation. This is where David's representation really made a difference. From the beginning, David had a strategy and a plan. He understood that we couldn't simply react to every accusation the other side made. We needed to take control of the narrative, establish the chronology of what actually happened, identify the inconsistencies in the competing petition, organize the evidence, and present the complete story to the court. As a lawyer myself, there were certainly times when I had my own ideas about how we should respond or what we should emphasize. But I also recognized that I was personally invested in the case and needed someone who could remain objective. I trusted David's judgment, followed his guidance, and allowed him to execute the strategy we had developed. That trust paid off. When it came time for the hearing, we were prepared. David was able to cut through what could easily have become a confusing "he said/she said" situation involving two competing restraining order petitions. David was able to join the cases before the first hearing date. Then at the hearing he first succeeded in modifying the other party's temporary orders by presenting the evidence and sequence of events in a way that allowed the court to understand what had actually occurred and see through the false narrative being presented against me. After David modified the temporary order the other party wanted a 2nd call to speak to David and he persuaded the party to drop their restraining order. Looking back, I have an even greater appreciation for David's strategy. He wasn't concerned with winning every small argument or reacting emotionally to every allegation. He was thinking several steps ahead and positioning the case so that when it mattered most--in front of the judge--we were ready. As a fellow attorney, I understand the difference between simply knowing the law and knowing how to strategically litigate a difficult case. When you're personally involved, however, maintaining that same objectivity becomes incredibly difficult. David provided that objectivity while also understanding just how important the outcome was to me. This case had enormous personal and professional importance to me. I put my trust in David Russomanno's judgment, preparation, and strategy, and he delivered the result we were working toward. As both a client and a fellow attorney, I highly recommend David. If you are dealing with a complicated or highly contested restraining order matter--particularly one involving competing allegations--you want someone who can look beyond the accusations, focus on the evidence, develop a strategy, and effectively present the true story to the court. That's exactly what David did for me.

I hired David after a California domestic violence restraining order petition was filed against me…read moreby a family member. I live out of state, had never been in this type of situation before, and was terrified--not only because of the court process, but because of the possible professional consequences if the case went badly. The first law firm I hired reviewed the facts and essentially concluded that I was probably going to lose. I then found David, and from the very first conversation, it was clear he saw the case differently. He did not minimize the situation or sugarcoat anything, but he immediately understood that there was more going on than what appeared on paper. He had a command of the procedural issues, the courtroom dynamics, and the strategy in a way that gave me confidence when I had almost none left. What stood out most was that David was not just technically excellent--he was creative, strategic, responsive, and genuinely caring. He understood my state of mind, took my fears seriously, and explained his plan in a way that made me feel protected rather than judged. He was always available when I needed him and treated the case with urgency and humanity. In the end, my mother and I did not even have to fly to California or appear remotely. David appeared for us, spoke directly with the other side at court, and by the time the matter resumed, the petitions against both of us were dropped. That result was an enormous relief. I went from believing I was about to lose everything to walking away with the case dismissed. David is the kind of lawyer people hope exists when they are scared and overwhelmed--the kind of lawyer you see in movies but do not expect to find in real life. I am incredibly grateful that I called him and trusted him.

Zero stars for this law office…read more I spoke with the legal assistant Georgette for initial consultation questions. She was incomprehensibly rude, judgmental, and snarky. I'm in a situation where my family is suddenly finding we need to switch from a court-appointed attorney to private representation. Georgette's response was, "I don't know why you waited until the last minute, you can't possibly expect Mr. Davis to go back in time and change the past do you?" I said, "Of course not, I'm just looking for an attorney who can professionally handle what this case entails, I'm not sure why you feel the need to be rude about it." She insisted she was not being rude, it was just my interpretation of her [combative] tone. She said she would text Mr. Davis and ask him how much he would charge for my case. I responded that I thought it was strange she is going to expect me to agree to a retainer without the lawyer himself even calling me personally. I said I had been having consultation with various firms, and every attorney has called me personally, has been extremely cordial, professional, and kind. She told me, "Then go hire one of those other lawyers". I said was was just trying to do my due diligence at finding the representation most suitable and that I was astounded by her attitude and zero customer service. She said, "You're not a customer honey, you're a potential client." I responded that a potential client is indeed a customer and she is doing a terrible job at selling her firm's services to me. Somehow we ended up in a futile discussion on semantics. It was the most bizarre experience and I don't know how this law firm is in business with someone like that answering the phone.
