About Heather Barbieri
Heather Barbieri, founding attorney of Barbieri Law, has devoted more than 25 years to defending individuals accused of serious criminal offenses. Recognized for her unwavering commitment and creative legal strategies, she has built a reputation as a formidable advocate in complex cases such as sexual assault, false accusations, and internet-related crimes. Known for her 20-year record without losing an assault jury trial, Heather approaches every case as a collaborative effort, guiding her team through a 115-point defense process she developed to ensure no detail is overlooked.
Her clients benefit not only from her skill in the courtroom but also from her belief that every person deserves dignity and compassion during the most difficult moments of their lives. This client-centered philosophy, combined with her proven success, has earned her board certification in criminal law from the Texas Board of Legal Specialization—an achievement she has maintained since 2005.
Heather’s leadership extends beyond her firm. She has served as President of both the Texas Criminal Defense Lawyers Association and the Collin County Criminal Defense Lawyers Association, and she is a Fellow of the Honorable Curt B. Henderson Inn of Court. Her peers have honored her with the Percy Foreman Lawyer of the Year Award, while publications such as Super Lawyers, D Magazine, and Texas Monthly have consistently recognized her among the state’s top attorneys.
Respected by clients, colleagues, and judges alike, Heather’s practice is grounded in integrity, preparation, and a deep sense of humanity—qualities that have earned her more than 90 five-star client reviews and lasting trust from those she represents.
