    Michael F.
  • Barrington Legal is great. Their attorneys are very knowledgeable. They offered me a ​free consultation and answered all my questions in a way I could understand some complicated issues. I highly recommend them for corporate​ disputes​ and personal injury. It’s been a pleasure to find trustworthy, patient, and customer services oriented attorneys in Los Angeles!

    Naram K.
  • I was in a legal battle for 2 years using another law firm and the case had no sight in end. I met Jacob at an event and upon finding out he was a lawyer I decided to switch to Barrington Legal. Jacob and Eamon were able to close the case within 6 months!!!
    There are so many law firms to choose from but without hesitation I would recommend Barrington Legal to anyone in need of a pro-active and professional law firm.

    Jeremy R.
  • Mr. Jafari has represented my company and me personally on several occasions. He knows exactly how to communicate to me so I don’t get lost in legal terms or procedures. I give him a case and tell him what I want and he gave me a reasonable estimate of his fees. He did his best to and stayed within each budget provided. Mr. Jafari has delivered 100% for me in all cases. I know I am in good hands with him. 

    Shawn R.
  • Great Los Angeles attorneys who worked on my case. For my personal injury case they help me for 6 months until finally reaching a settlement. Mr. Jafari represented me very well and is an excellent attorney. 

    Sammy L.
  • I had some questions about my startup business and this firm was very helpful in putting my mind at ease. They made sure that I had done everything correctly and at a reasonable price. I would highly recommend them to anyone starting their own firm! They’re a great boutique firm for business law. 

    Kate A.
  • My experience with this firm was a very positive one. I was lucky enough to talk to Eamon and he gave me great advice about my situation before I even hired him. He made the process smooth and easy. He answered any questions that I had promptly and handled my case in a matter of a few weeks. I must say I am extremely satisfied with the outcome and cannot thank him enough. The best lawyer in Los Angeles! 

    Lilit A.
  • Eamon assisted when I totaled my car and injured my back. I was so stressed the entire time, and he never cared how many times I checked in for updates. I was satisfied with the closing of the case and will work with him again in the future if I need legal advice or assistance.  

    Ashley B.
  • I recently had a case with Eamon Jafari and am very satisfied with his services. He was patient and helpful. He explained everything clearly to me. I felt very secure. Also his assistant Karly was great. I highly recommend him.  

    Aidee N.
  • I was truly nervous going into this because every fiber of my being wanted to just walk away, for so many reasons – from just wanting to focus on moving on and recovering without looking back, to the bewilderment at how life is translated into costs. But you were patient with my nervousness and helped me to understand this as not just about the costs, but returned my focus back to my life and what it means. In a large way, you gave me not just the check for a sum of money, but some meaning and clarity about myself. No one else could have done this.  

    Young T.
  • I wanted to take a moment to say thank you so much!! for caring so much about me and my injuries and taking the time to explain everything to me in great detail so I understand it,  it made me feel much better.  

    Robert R.
  • Thank you from the bottom of my heart. These are still not sufficient words to express how I feel. For someone who likes words, I seem to find them wanting right now!

    And for both us, the wonderful bonus in all of this has been getting to know you. This experience has brought us a friendship that I will cherish.  

    Nathan A.
  • Thank you just does not do justice to what you’ve helped us with. It means so much to us that we had the great good fortune to meet you and have you take care of this case. You did what you had to do with sensitivity to our needs and our values. I appreciate how well you balanced your legal obligation to tell us about our options, how clearly and passionately you shared your professional recommendations, all the while making sure that these did not push us into actions we were not able to live with.  

    Shamini D.
  • You guys have continued to provide great representation and advice through the years. You make it easy for me to reach out and ask simple questions. Thank you for your continued hard work!

About Us

+ Our Philosophy
Barrington Legal was founded on a simple idea: deliver personalized representation with the results of a big law firm. We pride ourselves on accessibility, strong client relationships, and strategies tailored to each client’s needs.

We believe the traditional attorney-client model is outdated. Too often, clients hesitate to reach out because communication feels one-sided or inconvenient. At Barrington Legal, we make sure our attorneys are available, responsive, and easy to talk to—because protecting your interests should never feel out of reach.

This client-first approach has earned us the trust of individuals and businesses across California. From helping people through life-changing injuries to guiding companies through growth and disputes, our clients’ success drives our own. It is this philosophy we bring to every case.

We fight relentlessly to secure the best outcome for you.
Our clients’ interests always come first.
+ Frequently Asked Questions
General
How should I choose my attorney?
After speaking with one of our attorneys, we will schedule a consultation by phone or in person, whichever works best for you. During the consultation, we’ll review the facts of your case, discuss your goals, and outline the best options available to achieve them.
How much will it cost to hire a lawyer?
Fees depend on the type of case. We may work on contingency, hourly, flat fee, or a hybrid arrangement. There is no one-size-fits-all model, so we work with each client to find a structure that makes sense for their needs.
How long after actions arise do I have the right to bring a lawsuit?
You only have a limited time to bring a lawsuit after a claim arises—this is called the statute of limitations. Once it expires, your rights may be lost. It is critical to speak with an attorney as soon as possible to avoid missing important deadlines.
Does Barrington Legal offer complimentary consultations?
Yes. We never charge for your initial consultation. Our attorneys will take the time to evaluate your claims and discuss your options for moving forward.
What should I do to prepare for my consultation?
Every consultation is handled by an attorney. Be prepared to speak openly with us—your communications are protected by attorney-client privilege, even if you haven’t formally retained us. You don’t have to bring documents, but having relevant records or evidence is helpful. Each case is unique, so feel free to ask questions before or during the consultation.
Accidents | Personal Injury
What do I need to do to make a claim for damages against someone?
Seek medical attention first. Once you are safe, contact an attorney to schedule a consultation. At that meeting, we’ll review the facts, liability, and your potential damages.
What is the time limit for filing a personal injury case?
The statute of limitations begins running the moment an accident occurs. Deadlines vary depending on the type of case. To avoid losing your rights, it is best to consult a lawyer as soon as possible after the injury.
How do I choose a personal injury lawyer?
These cases are complex and insurance companies do not have your best interests in mind. Having an experienced lawyer on your side can make all the difference in securing fair compensation.
What can I expect from the initial consultation?
We’ll start with a brief call to gather basic information and confirm an in-person consultation makes sense. At the consultation, whether at our office or another convenient location, we’ll review your case, discuss your goals, and explain your options. If we are not the right fit, we will be upfront about recommending another attorney.
Can I just settle my case?
Yes. Many cases settle without going to trial. We always prepare as though we will litigate, but we explore early settlement when it benefits you. Showing the other side that we are prepared to win often leads to a fair resolution sooner.
How much could I recover?
That depends on the facts: the severity of your injury, how it happened, and its long-term impact. A thorough investigation is necessary before estimating recovery. Schedule a free consultation for a tailored assessment.
I don't think I can afford an attorney — what can I do?
We handle personal injury cases on a contingency basis—you pay nothing unless we recover for you. We often advance litigation costs as well. This ensures everyone has access to justice without added financial strain.
Landlord & Tenant | Real Estate
How is a tenant removed from a rental unit?
The tenant must first be served a proper Notice to Quit. If they remain after the notice expires, the landlord must file an Unlawful Detainer lawsuit in Superior Court. After judgment, only the Sheriff may enforce the eviction.
What is an Unlawful Detainer?
An Unlawful Detainer is simply the legal name for an eviction lawsuit.
How long does an Unlawful Detainer take?
Timelines vary. Some cases conclude in four weeks, while others may take six months or longer depending on how the tenant responds and whether appeals are filed.
How must the landlord serve a tenant with the necessary documents?
Service can be done by personally delivering the notice, leaving it with another adult and mailing it, or posting it on the unit door and mailing it. Each method has specific legal requirements.
How long must the Notice to Quit be?
Notice requirements vary based on the lease, length of tenancy, rent control rules, and reason for eviction. It can be as short as 3 days or as long as 120 days. Many cases require a 15-day notice.
How can a landlord violate a tenant's rights?
Landlords must maintain habitable conditions. Failing to make necessary repairs within a reasonable time may allow tenants to seek damages, reduce rent, or withhold rent in certain circumstances.
What if the unit is unpermitted?
Landlords cannot legally collect rent for unpermitted units. Tenants may stop paying rent, and landlords cannot evict for nonpayment. In many cases, landlords may also owe tenants relocation assistance.
Business & Corporate Law
Why should I incorporate my business?
Corporations and LLCs separate personal and business assets. If properly managed, owners have limited liability for business debts. Corporations have more formalities than LLCs but provide the same protections.
Should I incorporate in California or Delaware?
Delaware law is business-friendly and common for large corporations. For most California businesses, however, incorporating in California is simpler, more affordable, and offers no downside.
What is business litigation?
Business litigation involves resolving disputes under contracts, corporate documents, and state or federal law. It is the process of enforcing or defending a company’s rights.
How do I know if litigation is the best choice to resolve my business dispute?
Litigation is often a last resort. Many disputes resolve through negotiation, mediation, or arbitration. If trial becomes necessary, we ensure you are fully informed and positioned for success.
How long will my business litigation case take?
It depends on complexity. Cases may resolve in a few months or extend for years depending on cooperation, discovery, and trial preparation.
How is business litigation different than other types of law?
Business disputes often involve multiple contracts and governing documents operating together. Interpreting these complexities requires experienced legal guidance.
If I don’t know whether I should file a complaint, what should I do?
Consult with an attorney. Even if you decide not to move forward, your discussion is confidential and may provide clarity on your options.
Employment
What happens if my employee(s) sue me?
California is known for strict labor laws, and employment claims are common. We defend employers against discrimination, wage and hour claims, and other complex employment disputes.
Am I an At-Will employee?
Most employees in California are at-will, meaning either the employer or employee may end the relationship at any time for almost any reason. However, termination cannot be based on discrimination, retaliation, or other illegal grounds.
How do you know whether there’s been an employee who was misclassified?
The key factor is control. Employees work under employer control, while independent contractors control how and when they work. Misclassification is common and can lead to serious penalties for employers.
How do I know if there is a hostile working environment?
A hostile work environment exists when harassment is severe or pervasive and based on a legally protected category (such as race, gender, age, or disability). Simple rudeness is not enough—harassment must interfere with work conditions.
What constitutes discrimination in the workplace?
Discrimination occurs when an employer takes adverse action against an employee because of their membership in a protected class, such as race, religion, sex, age, disability, or sexual orientation.
What do you do if you feel you have suffered discrimination?
First, notify your employer or HR (if they are not the source of the problem). Document the misconduct with dates, times, witnesses, and details. This record is important if legal action is necessary.
How do I know who is entitled to overtime pay?
Non-exempt employees must be paid overtime under California law for hours worked over 8 per day or 40 per week, and double-time in certain situations. Even unauthorized overtime must be compensated.
What is an exempt and non-exempt employee?
Non-exempt employees earn overtime, while exempt employees (executive, administrative, professional) do not. Misclassification can deprive workers of wages and expose employers to liability.
