My name is Adriana Heredia, I hired Peter Barrett to represent my case. My case had been dragging on for a couple of years with different attorney. Upon not being satisfied with the first attorney results, I hired attorney Peter Barrett to represent me, since, I’ve just been able to relax and just let Peter handle it. I’ve very satisfied with his professionalism and his patience to explain to me in clear detail what was going on with my case, which really put my mind at ease. I’ve never been more satisfied. I would recommend anyone who finds themselves in a legal position and representation, to not hesitate to hire attorney Peter Barrett, to put your mind at ease and know you will be taken care of.

I did not retain this attorney however I spoke with Liz and she was able to speak with me and provide assistance without hesitation. She did not rush me off the phone or make my concerns seem as if they didn’t matter. I appreciate her time and care.

I came to Peter with state and federal charges. He was able to get me released after I was arrested. Having Peter as my lawyer has been a blessing. He gets my highest recommendation!
Thank you Peter for giving me a second chance in life. He was kind, patient and very professional and got me a better result then I expected. If you ever get in a bad situation contact Peter he’s the best.

I hired Barrett in August 2017 after terrible mediator Gary Berman filed assault-by-contact charges against me (Berman is a mean bully and yelled at and insult me to get me to settle a case I filed, and I refused, and on the way out I told him what I thought of him and gave him a very light tap by his shoulder as if to say "Attaboy, way to ruin the mediation."). Barrett advised me to plead "No contest," which was correct, and the judge reduced the fine and it went away. In June 2018 I hired him again to get the record expunged.
My main problem with Peter Barrett is he communicates very rarely. He takes your money, and you have no idea what is going on. He is also very unpleasant, short tempered, and rude. If you ask him any questions, he gets offended and treats you like dirt.
I hired him in June 2018 to expunge the charge, and heard nothing from him for six months. I emailed him in December, and he said the D.A.signed off on this November 27 -why did it take him five months to see the D.A.? He said the judge should sign it in the following 30 days, by 12/27/18, and then the agencies have 30 days to comply, but never gave me an update. I called and checked myself and learned this was done in December. I didn't hear from Barrett until around March 2019, and just got a short letter, not even an email.
I am very surprised to see any positive reviews here. I wish I had never hired him. I expect anyone else would be better.
The #1-rated firm in DFW is Varghese Summerset in Fort Worth, who I used on a prior expungement, and they are friendly and amazing. I called Varghese one Sunday morning and he picked up and talked to me for quite a while. I thought I needed someone in Dallas - but I didn't, and neither do you. Call Varghese. They have >167 reviews and their average is...5.0. Otherwise you will get treated like dirt by Peter Barrett.

Peter worked hard for 4 years to get my freedom back. I had a few bumps but he was always there and took a chance when he didn't have to and kept me out of jail He's very professional and I would recommend him to anyone who needs an above par attorney. He takes his clients very serious and is always a phone call away and if he isn't able to answer his assistant is always there to do what she can and shows true compassion for their clients. 5/5 stars for a great attorney!!!!!!

Peter Barrett is one of the best lawyers that I've ever had the pleasure of retaining! He's understanding and comforting, yet direct and to the point; he will not bite his tongue. He will also inform you of exactly what he will do for you, when you hire him, and I'm confident that you will hire him! Peter really knows his stuff and lets you know exactly how long it will take to resolve your case. Peter made getting my case dismissed look super easy, but that's what he does. His Law Firm is also Military Friendly. He assisted the DA with getting me an early expunction which is exceptionally rare after securing a Felony Assault with a Deadly Weapons case dismissal. Because of Peter Barrett, I can soon get back to deployments and working on border missions. Peter is an extraordinary attorney who does superior work and has an amazing sidekick, Sanjay Minocha of the Minocha Law Firm. Sanjay worked with Peter to get my husband's case dismissed, as well. Oh and can't forget about Liz, Peter's assistant. She was always on point, reminding me of my court dates and providing me the documents that I needed for my records. Thanks Peter, Liz and Sanjay!

Peter Barrett works miracles in criminal law. I was charged with Assault with a Deadly Weapon. I was going to lose my career after 6 years of college course work with these charges. I couldn't even get a waitress job at a franchise restaurant due to these charges pending. Thank you so much Peter for getting these charges fully dismissed! My future in Corporate America is still thriving because of your legal help.

Mr Barrett came highly recommended through another prominent Dallas attorney. I was able to ask questions during a consultation and eventually hired his law firm to represent me. I have never been happier with an attorney. He knows his way around the court house and the court room both of which are extremely necessary in Dallas Texas. I have since recommended Peter to several others as my results could not have been better. Everyone one of those i recomended have all been very satisfied.

I would never use this guy. I called him to get some advice since my current lawyer is apparently unavailable on weekends for whatever reason. His website mentions a free consultation, and I would have been fully willing to switch lawyers if that's what was needed, but the moment he heard that I don't have money right now, he asked why we were talking and hung up. I get paid friday, guess I get to keep that money now. I will never use anyone from Barrett Law Firm, regardless of any future legal issues.

I was extremely impressed with Mr. Barrett's experience as a criminal defense attorney. He was very professional and honest, which I truly appreciated. He went above and beyond to help me and wasn't just some greedy attorney like my previous lawyer. I have referred several people to Mr. Barrett and will continue to do so because I believe he's the best.

Peter is a terrific criminal lawyer. He was able to help my brother out with his DWI a few months back. Peter really knows the law and will definitely work hard and fight for you. A very humble and compassionate man. Thank you for all your help!
