Joshua Barreda is a family and juvenile law attorney practicing in Phoenix, Arizona and surrounding areas. He began his legal career as an Assistant Attorney General at the Arizona Attorney General's Office representing the Department of Child Safety in abuse and neglect cases. In this position he appeared in several hundred juvenile court hearings, mediations, and trials.
In the state of Arizona, dissolution of marriage, or more commonly known as divorce with children, is different than divorce not involving children because other factors are in place that have to be figured out by the courts, the lawyers involved, and of course, both spouses involved in the divorce.
If you are wanting to get a divorce in the state of Arizona without any children or other dependents involved, in most cases, the main aspects of the divorce have to do with the division of assets, the division of any debt(s) you may hold together, and finally, you will need to figure out spousal support, if it is deemed appropriate to do so based on the circumstances of your divorce.
Two of the most crucial aspects of getting an Arizona divorce involving children are child custody / parenting time and legal decision-making on behalf of your children. Whether you're concerned about where your children go to school or worship, or you want to be counted in when it comes time for your child to be seen by a doctor or specialist, then how a judge rules in terms of your legal decision-making matters.
When you begin the process of getting divorced in Arizona, you will come to learn that most of the contention is around two things: child custody and financial matters. Here, we will discuss the latter, to give you better insight into the division of property and debt process during your divorce.

Typically, the longer the marriage, the more property and debt there will be to divide, and most lengthy marriages that also involve children will come to the negotiation or mediation table with more assets and debts to divide during the divorce proceedings.

If you need an aggressive divorce attorney that involves high conflict custody this is the place to go. Couldn’t be happier with my decision.

This law firm was professional, honest, and up front with all aspects of my case. Josh and Karen were awesome! People always say that no one wins in a divorce case but i certainly did not feel that way, and i don’t have to see my ex which is a win win.

Service at this firm is top notch! Mr Barreda represented me in my case and I was beyond impressed. My ex is an absolute narcissist who got what he deserved in court. He even had to pay my attorneys fees!

I’m forever grateful to Mr. Alvarez for his help, knowledge and hard work. He always answers my questions thoroughly whether on the phone or email and never makes me feel like he’s in a rush. So thankful for his and the rest of the teams help on my case.

I feel I needed to write a review for how incredible this firm is. They put in the work, kept it real, and I am able to see my son now more than ever. I had my consultation with Josh and from the very beginning I knew they would fight for me every step of the way. Thank you!

If you have a family court issue with minor children Barreda Law is HIGHLY recommended. I made the mistake of hiring a different counsel at the beginning of my case, long story short ended up wrongly losing part of my decision making. My case was not over, and I realized if I didn't have the right counsel I was headed towards a terrible fate. BUT Josh and Karen showed up in their night and shining armor, got us back on track and ended up with WAY MORE than I could have imagined. Not only did he have to clean up the mess the previous counsel left me in, but also gave me peace of mind with a

I met Joshua in February of 2019. My first words to him were....can you handle very complex court cases involving the safety and well being of children? His response let me to hiring him on the spot and after I had interviewed a handful of qualified attorneys. In addition to a high level of integrity Joshua is aware of the expensive involved in these situations and careful with the time and money of his clients. His strategy, approach and delivery of information to the court was impressive. He is aggressive when necessary, but overall he aware of what needs to be done, when and how....his timing

I'll admit it, I hate lawyers. Most are out for themselves and could care little about my family. Josh is different. Josh listened and he FOUGHT. If you want an attorney that knows how to handle himself in court and fights for you, Josh is it.

Josh and his paralegal Karen are amazing on family and juvenile cases. Josh can help you and your family through your case. Josh will be the emotional rock you need in your hard times and is aggressive in the courtroom if need be. Whatever a case entails Josh can handle it.

It's very rare that I post a review but I feel like in this case I have to. I have gone through one of the most difficult times in my life and I wasn't sure where to go. All I have to say is that I picked the right place, I picked the right person. I don't want to go into too much detail about my personal life but all I have to say is that if you want someone that you'll trust and someone that will take care of you, Josh and Barreda Law is that person. Don't go anywhere else and don't try and do this alone. Thanks, Barreda Law!

I was in a car accident and I was referred to Barreda law. This was my first time working with a lawyer and I was nervous. I didn't really know what to expect. Barreda Law handled everything for me and I knew I was in good hands. They treat you like family and make you feel at ease. I definitely will recommend them to anyone who needs help. Thank you so much for everything you've done for me!

I cannot say enough good things about Barreda Law and the legal services I received. Josh Barreda was able to get a ridiculous order of protection dismissed that was taken out against me by my spiteful ex. Not only did he get it dismissed but he was able to get all of my attorneys fees reimbursed! So thankful!
