At Barbari Law PLLC, I represent individuals and businesses in matters where the stakes are real and the outcomes matter. My practice is built on disciplined preparation, strategic planning, and direct client engagement. Clients who hire my firm work with me personally. Every case is approached with a clear understanding of both the legal landscape and the practical realities that drive results.

Business Law
My family owns a small business in Northern Virginia, so I grew up in an entrepreneur's household, worked in my parents business since I was 12 years old, and know first hand that building and running a business involves constant decision-making, often with legal and financial consequences that are not always obvious at the outset.
I work with business owners from formation through ongoing operations, helping them make informed, strategic decisions. That includes structuring entities properly, addressing risk before it becomes a problem, and providing practical guidance as issues arise.
My approach is not just reactive. It is focused on anticipating challenges, protecting what you've built, and positioning your business to operate with clarity and confidence.
Representative Matters Include:
- Business formation (LLCs, corporations, partnerships) and structuring
- Operating agreements, shareholder agreements, and internal governance
- Contract drafting, review, and negotiation
- Risk management and liability exposure analysis
- Business disputes and pre-litigation strategy
- General counsel advisory services for ongoing operations
Criminal Defense
Facing a criminal charge, particularly at the federal level, requires more than a basic defense. It requires an understanding of how cases are built, how prosecutors think, and how strategy develops from the earliest stages of an investigation.
My background and experience as defense attorney, a former prosecutor, and federal judicial law clerk informs how I approach every case. I focus on early analysis, identifying leverage, and preparing each matter as if it may ultimately be tried.
Not every case is resolved the same way. Some require aggressive litigation. Others require careful negotiation. The key is knowing the difference and making the right decision at the right time.
Representative Matters Include:
- Federal criminal defense and white-collar investigations
- Grand jury investigations and target/witness representation
- Fraud offenses (wire, mail, bank fraud, bribery)
- Drug offenses and conspiracy charges
- Firearms and weapons offenses
- Assault and violent offenses
- DUI/DWI and serious traffic-related offenses
- Pre-indictment strategy and early intervention
Personal Injury
A serious injury can disrupt every aspect of your life physically, financially, and emotionally. The legal process that follows is often wrought with confusion and mystery. I ensure my clients know the process and approach personal injury cases with a focus on valuation, documentation, and strategy. That means understanding not only the extent of your injuries, but how to present them in a way that insurance companies and, if necessary, a jury, will take seriously.
Every case is prepared with attention to detail and a clear plan. The goal is not just resolution, but a result that reflects the full impact of what you've experienced.
Representative Matters Include:
- Motor vehicle accidents (car, truck, rideshare)
- Premises liability (slip and fall, unsafe conditions)
- Serious and catastrophic injury claims
- Wrongful death claims
