Mr. Barba is one of the new breeds of lawyers known as the lawyer-scientist. When defending a person accused of driving under the influence it is imperative that the lawyer have a deep understanding of the science behind blood and breath testing. Very few lawyers spend the time necessary to be a lawyer-scientist. Mr. Barba has and does. You are in good hands with Mr. Barba representing you on an alcohol related charge.

This attorney is a GOD in the field of DUI defense. Not only is his knowledge in the area unsurpassed, he regularly gives his time and effort to mentor younger and less experienced attorneys.

I would feel comfortable having him represent my closest friends and family. You cannot go wrong with this lawyer.

Mr. Barba is one of the most talented DUI Attorneys in the state. When he walks into the Courtroom on a case, the DA’s and CA’s all know that they have a battle in their hands. This is because Mr. Barba knows his case better then anyone else in the Courtroom, knows the law better the Judge ever will and truly cares about his clients! If you are thinking about hiring Mr. Barba for a case, consider yourself lucky if he takes it!

I endorse this lawyer because Manuel is a fighter. The police are trained to build a great picture against you. So well trained in fact that if you real all their reports you could not tell one person from another in most cases. Many, has the education, special training, skill and experience, to find the flaws in these reports and defend you and give the jury your version of the case in a successful manner. If you have been charged with a criminal offense, hire Manuel and let him fight for you.

I have known Manuel Barba for many years. He has always been a gifted and zealous advocate for his clients and we often discussed DUI defense tactics. In April of 2010, I attended an SFST Student Course through La Pier & Associates and discovered that my good friend Mr. Barba was one of the Instructors. It was a position that suited him well, as Mr. Barba is an incredible teacher; however, what really impressed me was his ability to conduct a more thorough cross-examination of officers with the SFST training he had received, so much so that it encouraged me to attend the SFST Instructor Course this past May. Mr. Barba is truly one of Southern California’s premier DUI attorney’s and I would highly recommend him as your DUI defense attorney if you are charged with DUI in the Riverside/San Bernardino area.
