Heather Jean Barbieri

I am Heather Barbieri, the founding attorney of Barbieri Law, and I have spent over 25 years defending individuals facing serious criminal charges. My commitment to creative legal strategies has helped me build a strong reputation as an advocate in complex cases, including sexual assault, false accusations, and internet-related crimes. For the past 20 years, I have maintained a record without losing an assault jury trial, approaching every case with a collaborative mindset and guiding my team through a detailed 115-point defense process I developed to ensure every aspect is thoroughly addressed. I believe in treating every client with dignity and compassion, especially during their most challenging times. This approach, paired with my track record in the courtroom, led to my board certification in criminal law from the Texas Board of Legal Specialization—a distinction I have held since 2005. Beyond my work at the firm, I have had the privilege of serving as President of both the Texas Criminal Defense Lawyers Association and the Collin County Criminal Defense Lawyers Association. I am also a Fellow of the Honorable Curt B. Henderson Inn of Court. My peers have recognized my contributions to the field by honoring me with the Percy Foreman Lawyer of the Year Award, and publications such as Super Lawyers, D Magazine, and Texas Monthly have consistently included me among Texas' top attorneys. Clients, colleagues, and judges have acknowledged the integrity, preparation, and humanity that define my practice. With more than 90 five-star client reviews, I focus on earning trust and delivering representation that clients can rely upon.
