I called Barrios & Machado one year after my car accident. I was getting nowhere with the insurance companies and I knew it was time to consult a lawyer. It was the Saturday after Thanksgiving. The lawyer, Guillermo Machado called me back within the hour. He started by telling me that the call was free and he would not pressure me into anything. He would listen and then offer whatever words of advice or encouragement he could, which is exactly what he did. He told me he was a Christian lawyer, which was good know as I am a Christian woman. He spent over an hour with me on the phone. He set my mind at ease about many things including my concerns, and about the lawyers I had already consulted with. He told me he wouldn’t take my case, not because he didn’t want to but because he was unable to take it on, as he does a different type of case now. He told me about the other two lawyers I spoke to recently and that they were both excellent and that I would be in great hands with either. It’s refreshing to talk to a lawyer, who doesn’t have a hidden agenda. I could tell he was genuine and honest. He took over an hour of his holiday weekend to help me. Thank you Guillermo, and may God bless you.

I vacationed to France and Italy with my husband, and it was supposed to be a lovely few weeks. And it was just until we boarded our return flight back from Milan to Paris. A flight attendant spilled hot coffee on my arm midflight, causing severe burns. The nightmare to get home started. Fast forward to when I landed in California, after a hellish night in a Paris airport. After settling in back home, I called Guillermo Machado. He discussed the complexities of claims against international airlines and the special laws that applied. Together with his special friends, they represented me for a couple of years and were successful in securing me a most favorable confidential settlement. More than I ever imagined possible. I didn’t have a clue who to call about something like this, but I am so glad and grateful I called Guillermo Machado. They took everything that was bad from this incident and made it very good. Incredible lawyers.

I work with Mr. Machado's mother in real estate so when I got hit by a car while on my electric scooter, I asked her if she knew a good attorney. She recommended her son. I called him and we spoke for a good while about what had happened after the accident. Starting with the insurance company for the driver blaming me for the accident. He said he would recommend some friends that had more time and resources to battle with this difficult insurance adjuster. Thank God he did. They ended up turning my case around and forcing the driver's insurance to pay me the entire policy. It was a larger policy so that helped a lot. I was so surprised and so grateful. Thank you, Guillermo, for guiding me to an outcome I never expected.

I was T-boned by an ambulance that ran a red light in 2018. A coworker referred me to Barrios & Machado. It was the best decision I could have ever made. They helped me get great medical care and then after filing my case they helped me get the best trial lawyers around. After years in court and a very long 3 weeks in trial, a jury awarded me more money than I could have ever expected. I didn't want to go to trial. But I'm so happy Guillermo convinced to go all the way with the best trial team around. It was most worth it. Without that call to Guillermo Machado, none of this would have happened. You have my loyalty and recommendation to anyone in my shoes. Thank you from the bottom of my heart.

I called Mr. Machado at the end of January, 2021. My crash happened early 2019 and I hadn't received any treatment for my injuries, but I was still hurt and it wasn't going away. He was gracious enough to take my case and when the statute of limitations came to file a lawsuit, he was again kind enough to do it while he "investigated thoroughly who and what was involved." The world closed to Covid, but Mr. Machado kept my hopes alive. He kept my case alive when the insurance company said I should be happy with next to nothing because they thought I was making it all up. He litigated the case for two long years. Many hostile depositions. Countless pages of questionning. At the end, he settled my case for full policy limits and put a tremendous amount of money in my pocket. I feel better again. My husband and I pray for you all the time because you were a huge blessing in our lives. I'll never forget you, Mr. Machado.
