Biography

The Dedicated Advocate Heather Barbieri doesn’t just practice law, she fights for the lives of those facing the most daunting accusations. With over 25 years in the trenches, she has built a reputation as a Board-Certified specialist who focuses on complex cases like sexual assault and internet crimes. What sets her apart is a unique, collaborative approach driven by a meticulous 115-point defense checklist, ensuring no detail is overlooked. This level of care has led to a remarkable twenty-year streak without losing an assault jury trial. Beyond the courtroom, Heather’s influence is felt through her leadership as a former President of the TCDLA and her role as faculty for the Trial Lawyers College. Her excellence has been consistently recognized by Texas Super Lawyers and D Magazine’s Best Lawyers in Dallas. Yet, for Heather, the real reward is the justice she secures for her clients and the mentorship she provides to the next generation of attorneys. She believes in "good lawyering" as a craft and a calling, blending creative strategy with an unwavering commitment to the truth, making her one of the most formidable advocates in Texas today.
