Adoption
Paternity
Establishing paternity allows both the mother and father of a child to enjoy the responsibilities and privileges of parenthood. California courts may order a DNA test to ensure that these rights and benefits - as well as the accountabilities that come with raising a child - are being properly attended to by both parents.
Premarital Agreement
A prenuptial agreement is essentially a contract signed prior to marriage by both parties. It's important that you and your future spouse each have your own representation from private attorneys so that neither of you has to be concerned about any conflict of interest. There are a number of strict procedural requirements that both you and your future spouse must follow in the process. For example, both you and your fiancé / fiancée must completely disclose both of your assets and your debts. Also, the agreement must be reached a certain length of time before the wedding in order to eliminate the chance of coercion or undue pressure.
Spousal Support
When determining spousal support, California family courts examine several influential factors. There is no specific formula used to calculate spousal support in this state, so every case is different. Whether or not you or your spouse are entitled to alimony payments will depend on the circumstances surrounding your divorce case.
Legal Separation
Court orders are designed to keep things running smoothly even after a divorce or legal separation. When they are broken, it can have serious consequences on the future of your family. Our firm is prepared to work tirelessly to ensure that the negative effects of this violation are minimal.
Child Abuse
Child abuse manifests itself in a number of different ways, but the most common are physical, sexual, and verbal. The victimized child often doesn’t say anything because they don’t want to cause problems or make the situation worse. Unfortunately, this allows the abuse to perpetuate and may even go unnoticed by the court when it comes time to create custody orders.

Criminal Defense
“She's still a tenacious pillar of strength, sweet as can be and surpasses the majority in LA and OC. She was there for me for 15 years litigating a paternity case against a criminal law attorney who abused the law at every turn. Now, after 10 years absent as a client, I came back after a horrible pick prior. She has taken the time to pick up after the mess I was left with. Again, Pat is here fighting for me in another high conflict case. I have no doubt she will do everything legally possible to right the wrongs my ex has done secretly over 23 years! More to come after the divorce.....”
DUI/DWI
“I retained Colleen and her mother Patricia Barberis as counsel. I had a very difficult case. I asked for sole legal custody which I was granted right away. I also asked for a move-away. It is rare in the state of California to be granted that. My self and father had criminal issues. I'm not proud of that. I'm ashamed and always will be. I had 3 convictions for DUI.....one with my child in the car.....That resulted in a child endangerment charge. They dropped the DUI. The point is Ms. Colleen Barberis and her mother Patricia Barberis are very skilled at their craft. They gave me and my daughter a miracle. They were always thoughtful and there for me. I will retain them again if I need them”
Sex Crimes
“I had a complex case, started with date rape, but at the time there was no such thing. I filed assault and battery. I hired an attorney prior to Pat, but it turns out that he was buddies with my abuser (a local criminal attorney), letâ€™s call him SC. SC had me into court on trivial things via ex parte, he was trying to drain my finances and was acting out his bully personality. He threatened my life and my motherâ€™s. By the way, she wasnâ€™t just fighting for me, but now my 26-year-old twins! SC could never intimidate Pat. She is honest and forthright, a solid person and has the faith to move mountains! I would have her by my side if I ever need an L.A. attorney. I caught this review searching for a divorce attorney... married 23 years. Never be surprised at what people do! But Pat never did me wrong. She blew SC through to another county! She was with me for 15 years of steadfast litigation. SC was diagnosed bipolar, he exploited the system to his advantage, pulled every trick out of the hat. Pat was there to catch them and turn them into home runs for us! Bravo Pat! She is also sympathetic financially; I made over a decade of payments. My twins? Stayed with me all their lives, one is in IT Security, lives in San Francisco, the other (God bless him) is serving us under Special Forces. Pat was my worrier angel. I did spend the last two years watching her daughter in litigation; she was prepared and confident. Iâ€™m sure she has evolved into the spitfire her mom is.”
Assault
Restraining Order
If you have been victimized in your home you need to get legal help as quickly as possible. It may be necessary for you to pursue a domestic violence restraining order. In many cases, a California court will grant a restraining order to a victim of domestic abuse who has been recently abused or who is in "fear of an imminent threat." There are three types of restraining orders that apply to domestic violence situations...
Kidnapping
Most custody arrangements set up physical boundaries for both parents when spending time with the child. Breaking these orders is a direct violation of the law and can result in serious repercussions. Even if custody orders do not currently exist, the act of parental kidnapping can be enough to restrict the offending parent’s future relationship with the child.
