Providing personalized and affordable legal solutions for DUI, criminal, and traffic cases.

What types of cases do you handle?

Our practice consists of DUI defense, criminal defense, and traffic violations. We also offer post conviction relief, such as expungements, arrest record sealing and withdrawal of pleas for immigration reasons.

Do you help me with my DUI case?

Yes, we can represent you if you are facing drunk driving charges in Fresno. Our DUI defense lawyer will protect your rights and achieve the best outcome for your case. We represent you in court, working hard to challenge the evidence against you. We also represent you in the DMV hearing process, working to protect your driving privileges and guide you through the process. We are with you every step of the way, offering you the experience you need during this challenging time.

Can you assist me in a criminal case?

We handle a wide range of criminal defense cases, including misdemeanors and felonies. Our firm is dedicated to providing an aggressive defense tailored to the specific circumstances of your case. We thoroughly investigate the facts, challenge the evidence, and protect your rights. We aim to achieve the best outcome for you while offering the support and guidance you need throughout the process.

Can you assist with traffic violations?

Yes, we help fight all types of traffic violations so you can avoid fines, points, and license suspensions. We understand the significant impact traffic offenses have on your driving record, insurance rates, and your livelihood. Our experienced attorney will fight to protect your rights, work to dismiss or reduce charges, and avoid points on your DMV record.

Is it possible to clear my criminal or arrest record?

Clearing your record can open doors to employment, housing, education, and other opportunities that may be out of reach. We review the details of your case to determine your eligibility, handle all the necessary paperwork, and appear in court on your behalf. Our goal is to ensure you have a clean slate so you can move forward with confidence and success.

I am innocent. Do I need a lawyer to represent me?

Yes, you do. Even if you are innocent, facing criminal or DUI charges requires strong legal representation to protect your rights. Innocent people are sometimes wrongly convicted, so having an experienced defense attorney is essential to advocate for you and ensure justice.

Why do I need a lawyer if I am guilty?

Protecting your rights is crucial, even if you are guilty. An experienced criminal lawyer can help you explore alternatives to jail or prison, such as alcohol or drug treatment programs, community service, or delayed sentencing that may lead to case dismissal. Without legal guidance from a skilled criminal and DUI attorney, pleading guilty can result in severe penalties you might not fully understand. When you retain our office, you’ll have an advocate who protects your rights and works toward the best possible outcome for your case.

Do you offer free consultations?

Yes, we offer a free consultation at the Law Offices of Tina M. Barberi, PC. During this meeting, we’ll clearly explain the legal process for your case and provide sound advice without pressure or false promises. We want to give you quality representation and help you make informed decisions.
