- ★★★★★Amazing Lawyer and Paralegal
anonymous ·
Bonnie and her paralegal Loni were an extraordinary team who went above and beyond in handling my case. From the outset, their professionalism, expertise, and genuine care for my situation were evident. Bonnie's extensive legal knowledge combined with Loni's exceptional organizational skills ensured that every aspect of my case was meticulously managed. Their clear communication and accessibility made me feel supported and informed throughout the entire process. Together, they navigated through the complexities of my case with precision and dedication, ultimately achieving a favorable outcome that exceeded my expectations. I am immensely grateful for Bonnie and Loni's outstanding efforts and would highly recommend them to anyone in need of exceptional legal representation.
- ★★★★★AMAZING TEAM!
Victoria · litigation ·
Where to even begin with Bonnie and Loni, they are one FANTASTIC TEAM and work with one HECK of a firm! They not only won my case but fought for me to no end! They were absolutely amazing with communication, and ALWAYS addressed my questions/concerns in a very timely manner! I would recommend these w oman at Barreda Law through and through!
- ★★★★★Exceptional attorney
anonymous · employment law ·
I'm beyond grateful to have found Bonnie to represent me. She has exceeded my expectations. I went through a long process with a severance case and Bonnie helped me through every step of the way and made everything so easy to understand. She was always quick to respond and have answers for me. Bonnie is very knowledgeable and so talented at what she does. I felt like she knew my story better than I did. Bonnie was a genius in the courtroom. I was very impressed. She won the case for me and it's changed my life and my child's life for the better. I can't thank her enough. I would recommend her to anyone I know. Lonnie was also very helpful with relaying messages or whatever I needed through the process. Thank you both!!
- ★★★★★Phenomenal team lucky to have had them ( long read but it's woth it )
anonymous · family law ·
Let me start off by saying that both Bonnie and her paralegal Loni are phenomenal. They went above and beyond for me. I had gotten another lawyer who didn't do nothing and left me hanging and a week before my main court hearing I found Barreda Law and Bonnie was assigned to handle my case. I first sp oke to Loni, who took down my information and was very courteous, nice, and professional. Bonnie then reached out to me a few hours later and went over the details and game plan and after speaking with her my spirits were lifted and I got a glimpse of hope. Hope that I had lost when my other attorney abandoned me. The day of court we presented our case for the judge and I was able to modify the order of protection to be able to see & be with my 3 boys. That was my first victory. My ex wife fought against every single proposition we proposed and had to keep going to court but Bonnie and Loni were always ready with exhibits and testimonies. It was a very long fought battle but after my 3rd hearing the judge ruled in our favor to sell the house. Again using exhibits and testimony from realtors and reviews from the potential buyers. My 2nd victory. There were times where the ex wife didn't answer Bonnie or Loni for weeks when they tried to reach out to her. I can be impatient at times and I would let Bonnie know and she would reassure me that everything is fine and that she hadn't forgotten about me which again lifted my spirits. When the house was sold there was an issue that the realtor did and forgot to put the money into a trust account until we could figure out the marital debt issue. We realized this the day we were signing the title papers. Bonnie & Loni sprung into action and worked against the clock to get an order to halt the transfer of the proceeds of the home which I did. The judge again ruled in our favor to halt the transaction and have the money go into a trust account until the debt issue was addressed and in agreement. My 3rd victory. Again using exhibits and testimonies. After a lot of back and forth with the ex wife we all came into agreements on everything and at the last moment the ex wife wanted to make changes to the final agreements and back to the drawing board we went. If I wasn't sure about a request that was made by the ex wife I would ask Bonnie for her opinion to be able to get a game plan going and she would advise me on what sounded reasonable and what wasn't or what counter we can propose. I went with her suggestions and at the very end we got pretty much everything we asked for. I never once doubted both Bonnie and Loni they gave me peace of mind during my case. That's a huge thing when looking for a family court lawyer and knowing that behind the scenes there's a team working hard to get you what you want in family court. This was by far the best team, best outcome I could ask for. I am extremely lucky to have had them on my side. As of 7/10/2024 my case was closed with our team getting all the wins in court. I can't thank Bonnie and Loni enough for the work they put in to get me this final overall victory. All I know is that I have co-workers that went through the same issue as me and the outcome wasn't the same. They would ask me about Bonnie and I would tell them what she was doing and game plan and they were very impressed with the approach she was taking to ensure everything went smooth and everything was accurate. I hope I don't go through this again but if I do I am definitely coming back to Bonnie and Loni. I will be recommending her any chance I get because I know she delivers results and both her and Loni do exceptional work. If you get to work with them you will not be sorry about your decision. Once again thank you Bonnie and Loni for everything. I am beyond grateful for them.
- ★★★★★Excellent lawyer

Bonnie was extremely helpful through my divorce process. She is very detailed and thorough. She made sure all boxes were checked and every detail was combed through. She promptly responded when I had questions or needed immediate assistance with something.
- ★★★★★Adoption for my family
anonymous · family law ·
Stephen has completed 2 adoptions for my family. He has communicated with us during every part and has been very helpful and kind to all my kids. We will refer him to any foster families that are looking for an attorney and will use him again if we go to adopt
- ★★★★★Best Experience Ever!
Erin · family law ·
Mr. Stephen Jones is an outstanding attorney. He was instrumental in our foster to adopt process… Representing our adopted daughter, as rights were being severed from the birth parents, and then also represented myself and my husband and the finalization of her adoption. He was always quick to retur n my calls, explain things in great detail when they were confusing and always had our little girls girls best interest at heart. He is passionate about what he does and he is extremely organized. Highly recommend!
- ★★★★★The guy you need to get the job done
Max · family law ·
I have only positive things to say about Stephen. From the very beginning he made our adoption process so easy and smooth. He is a great attorney and family guy who is determined to help you. I would recommend him to anyone looking for a family/ adoption attorney. Thank you Stephen for such an amazin g experience and memory that we will never forget!
- ★★★★★prepared and ready to go...
Rich ·
Working with Stephen Jones was a great experience from start to finish. He was professional, easy to communicate with, and stayed engaged throughout the entire process. His expectations were clear, he responded quickly when decisions were needed, and he made the project go smoothly. We appreciate cli ents like Stephen who are organized and respectful—it makes delivering quality work that much easier. Would absolutely work with him again.
- ★★★★★Adoption Attorney
Rosalva · family law ·
We used Stephen to facilitate our three adoptions. He was there to answer all of our questions, and everything went smoothly on the big day. He even provided fidget spinners for my younger kids to help them relax. I would absolutely recommend him to anyone needing legal counsel.
- ★★★★★Unreliable and Unprofessional: A Disappointing Experience with Steven W Zachary, Family Attorney
Eli · family law ·
I hired Steven W Zachary as my family attorney, and it was an absolute nightmare. To put it bluntly, he was the epitome of unprofessionalism. Not only did he fail to show up to court on multiple occasions, but he also blatantly refused to follow through with any of my requests or strategies in court. It felt like I was just throwing my money away. I paid him a hefty sum of over $6000 for his services, only to have him drop the case like a hot potato when he realized he might not win it. To make matters worse, he conveniently decided to bail on me just one week before the trial was set to begin. Talk about leaving a client high and dry! If you're looking for an attorney who lacks integrity, professionalism, and commitment to their clients, then Steven W Zachary is your guy. But if you value your time, money, and sanity, I strongly advise you to steer clear of him. Save yourself the headache and find someone who actually cares about their clients and their cases.
- ★★★★★Never had time to appear in court on time or to call back
Kenneth · family law ·
And I were going through a divorce and I hired this law firm. They took a very large retainer, but never did the job correctly. They never returned. Phone calls failed to follow through on filing documents on time and then left me high and dry. Do not hire this attorney and his firm
- ★★★★★Nooooooo
Gregg ·
I retained Sir. Zachary in 8/2022 all this man did was deceive me. He will definitely sell his soul for his practice. Unfortunately when you retain an attorney one believes that this person would represent them in their puriest form of moral and integrity definitely not the case when it comes to Mr. Zach it.
- ★★★★★Very helpful and engaged
anonymous · family law ·
Steven reviewed my child support case clearly with me and I was able to easily understand his guidance. Thank you!
- ★★★★★Retaining Steven Zachary could be the worst mistake of your life!!
anonymous ·
Zach does not care nor have time for you. He will bleed your dry of money and you will get nothing as a result: SAVE YOURSELF!!! I have worked with many attorneys and it doesn’t get worse then him….
- ★★★★★Excellent!

Matt did an excellent job with my case. He was prepared and had a good strategy. The opposing side was difficult to deal with and he went above and beyond to achieve my goals. I could not be happier with the results and would highly recommend his services to anyone!
- ★★★★★fast efficient and effective
Thomas ·
I was fortunate to be referred to Matt. He was objective and honest. My matter was handled quickly and professionally. I am appreciative of him for his services and would retain him again if necessary. Thomas
- ★★★★★ABSOLUTELY THE BEST!!!
anonymous · family law ·
The Liszewski Law Group, Mr. Matthew Liszewski, helped two of my family members with divorce and parenting time issues. In both cases, false allegations, alienation and false orders of protections were involved. Mr. Liszewski was aggressive and determined to ensure that the rights of both my son an d brother-in-law were preserved. If it were not for Mr. Liszewski and the Liszewski Law Group, both my son and brother-in-law would continue to be alienated from their children. Trust me, not even the dirty games played by the opposing counsel and his client could stop Mr. Liszewski from obtaining equal parenting time for my brother-in-law. In addition, Mr. Liszewski never stopped encouraging my son and brother-in-law to fight, even when they both became frustrated, emotionally exhausted, and wanted to give up. His down to earth empathy and true concern for their issues was a God send in both horribly difficult matters. Mr. Liszewski's goal was to fight and win - he did not disappoint! I truly believe he saved both their sanity as well as their lives.
- ★★★★★Excellent!

Matt did an outstanding job. He is just one of the guys and it's like your best friend is representing you. His results exceeded my expectations.
- ★★★★★Great Lawyer!
anonymous · family law ·
I hired Matt to represent me in a child custody hearing. He was more than helpful with a consultation initially. When things escalated, he took on my case with very short notice. He and his staff were always helpful, friendly, and more than knowledgeable. He worked with me through the hearings an d was quick to respond to an emails and phone calls. I was in another state for much of the pre-trial time. Matt and his staff worked very hard to make sure they had all they needed from me with as little travel/office time as possible. Not only did he win my case, he helped me negotiate better terms than I had initially asked for in the settlement. I wholeheartedly recommend Matt to anyone. He is honest, straightforward, and willing to work hard for you.
- ★★★★★Top-Notch Attorneys Who Truly Care
Charles · family law ·
I can’t thank Erin Walters and Josh Barreda enough for everything they did to help me during one of the most stressful times in my life. Navigating a child custody case is never easy, but having them in my corner made all the difference. They were professional, responsive, and truly invested in my ca se from day one. Thanks to their hard work, dedication, and sharp legal minds, I was able to keep my son here with me—right where he belongs. They fought for my family like it was their own, and that’s something I’ll never forget. Whether it's something big like a custody battle or a small legal concern, you can count on Erin and Josh to be there, ready to fight for you and take care of business. If you're looking for attorneys who truly care and go above and beyond, this is the team you want by your side. I’ll always be grateful for what they’ve done for my son and I.
- ★★★★★Outstanding Family Law Representation
Alvaro · family law ·
Mr. Barreda and his team stood by me during one of the hardest battles I’ve ever faced—reuniting with my medically fragile child after nearly five years of parental alienation. This was a family law case involving custody enforcement. Mr. Barreda’s representation was truly excellent, and he was on to p of his game! He was reassuring, responsive, and communicative every step of the way. Mr. Barreda made my family and me feel heard, valued, and fought for, and he did exactly what he said he would do in court and throughout the process of preparing for court. As part of the judge’s judgment, he was also able to secure a significant portion of my attorney’s fees, which spoke volumes about both the strength of the case and his advocacy. I would choose Mr. Barreda again without hesitation and only wish I had found him sooner. Thank you to Mr. Barreda, paralegal Karen, and the entire team for helping me regain a part of my life I thought I had lost or almost lost hope for.
- ★★★★★Grateful Beyond Words, Truly Outstanding Representation
Ben · family law ·
After a long and emotionally heavy custody case, I can say without hesitation that working with Josh Barreda and Karen was one of the best decisions I’ve ever made. They were professional, strategic, responsive, and genuinely cared about doing what was best for my son, Leo. At every step, they exp lained the process clearly, kept me grounded, and made sure my focus stayed where it belonged, protecting my child and his future. This outcome means everything to our family, and it wouldn’t have been possible without their dedication, experience, and heart. It’s rare to find attorneys who are this sharp and this human. I’m incredibly grateful to have had them in my corner and would recommend them without hesitation to anyone facing a family law matter.
- ★★★★★Incredible legal team!!!!!
Jesus · family law ·
I can't express enough how happy and grateful I am that I made the right choice in moving forward with Mr. Barreda and Karen they are incredibly knowledgeable with their legal expertise. From the beginning, I felt understood, heard, and genuinely supported. I know from personal experience how hard it is and stressful it can be to choose the right attorney for a family case. Mr. Barreda always made me feel reassured, took the time to listen, explained everything clearly, and was available to answer any questions or concerns I had. If you are going through a serious family matter and need someone to take your case seriously, I recommend Mr. Barreda and his team to anyone who needs a strong, compassionate, ad dedicated representation. Thank you again for everything -- you truly are the best!
- ★★★★★ABSOLUTE DREAM TEAM
anonymous · family law ·
Joshua, paralegal Leticia, Bonnie, and Erin were all incredible throughout the whole process. They knew exactly what to do and talked me through every step of the process. They all are absolute pitbull's in and out of the court room. Joshua was even able to get my attorney fee's paid back to me. I ca nnot put into words the amount of trust I have in Barreda Law and I cannot ever thank them enough for helping me save my daughter!
- ★★★★★Court Appointed
anonymous · family law ·
She's the definition of a lazy BIA for the courts. Instead of actually investigating facts she goes off he said she said. Even with supported documentation never once actually went to investigate the other parents living situation and who they were actually staying with. She felt sympathy and fell fo r the lies the other parent was providing and hense only showing partial videos/ messages but not the full videos. She also encourages the other parent to allow the children to be disrespectful to other parent when there trying there best to be there for the children even when there is proof the parent alienated and hid the kids from the parent. The Court Appointed Advisor did a way better job investigating then this best intrest attorney and it shows Amy just needs to retire or take her job more seriously. If you do end up with the courts Appointing her to your case get a lawyer ASAP because she definitely does not do a through investigation nor is her concerns more for the children rather its sympathy for the parent that actually has the kids and abuses them/ and beats them.
- ★★★★★Highly satisfied
Jean · family law ·
I was completely satisfied with the excellent service I received from Cory Stuart and his staff in handling my divorce. They explained the process involved, what to expect throughout the process and kept me informed every step of the way. They were always available when I had questions and promptl y answered my questions and concerns. They were very professional and if the need ever arises I would utilize the services of Cory Stuart and his staff again. I highly recommend them.
- ★★★★★My divorce
Nathan · family law ·
I was referred to Cory by my business attorney. I am very thankful to have been introduced to Cory. He made my divorce as clean and easy as possible. He was very transparent in the beginning about expectations and kept the entire process friendly and professional. If I have any friends or family who have to go through the same process I will definitely be sending them to Cory Stuart!
- ★★★★★Down to earth
Deborah · estate planning ·
Cory is a very caring person. He has been patient, compassionate and understanding during the entire time he has been helping me with my parents estate. I lost both my Mom and Dad over a period of just a few weeks. Cory is easy to talk to and always professional. A very smart and a very knowledgea ble young man. He is kind and truly cares about the people that go to him for help. I highly recommend him to everyone and I feel he goes above and beyond no matter what questions or assistance I may need. He's always pleasant and kind. He's one of the good guys!
- ★★★★★Ethical and Honest
Johnny · family law ·
Cory is a professional, ethical and honest attorney. Highly skilled and knowledgeable, he helped me with a difficult custody situation that has been ongoing for 13 years. With what seemed like a black and white case, Cory handled each and every surprise and obstacle; always consistent in his logic re garding reality, legality and morality to guide us towards the best suited goal for all involved parties. Additionally, he was an absolute gentlemen.
- ★★★★★Excellent attorney
Christina · family law ·
My husband and I recently hired Cory to handle a custody case for us. Cory was great! He is professional, courteous and didn't waste our time. He had the experience to know exactly how to handle our case. We could not be more pleased with the outcome and with Cory. We have recommended him to several people we know. If you have a high conflict case (or even if you don't) Cory is the right attorney to handle even the most difficult case.
