Area of Practice: Domestic Violence Attorney Veronica T. Barton is an award-winning trial attorney. She is licensed by the State Bar of California and represents clients throughout California, including in the Bay Area, the Central Coast, Los Angeles, and San Diego. In 2019, Veronica founded the Law Offices of Veronica T. Barton to defend those accused of domestic violence. In today’s society, the chilling reality is that people can be convicted based solely on the accusation of someone else. False accusations are rampant. Even more alarming are restraining orders that are filed based on false allegations, where, without even being able to give their side of the story, someone can be kicked out of their house and unable to see their children, potentially for months at a time. In the era of “#metoo,” a false accusation has the potential to ruin someone’s life. Veronica has made it her mission to stop that from happening to her clients.

I came to this profession for the clients and with a goal of helping people navigate their legal problems. While there are certainly plenty of tough days, I have never been able to say that I do not truly enjoy what I do. I am proud of work alongside of other passionate attorneys, who selectively fight only the good fights, and who all have a keen eye for detail. My most treasured moments are when I get to see the client win, whether it is building their newly adoptive family, opening the storefront of the buisness we helped create, or reaching the resolution of a business or employment dispute. I cannot make any gaurantees about outcomes, but I can guarantee that I will always do my best.
