The Attorney Behind Barvié Law

Built Around Direct Access and Plaintiff Advocacy

Many people searching for a lawyer are already frustrated by unanswered questions, confusing legal language, or firms where they never speak to the attorney handling the case. Nicole Barvié founded Barvié Law to create a more focused and personal experience for employees and injury victims who want straightforward communication and meaningful attorney involvement from the start. Before launching her own practice, she spent more than nine years working at a boutique defense firm, gaining firsthand insight into how insurance companies and defense teams evaluate claims and build litigation strategy. Today, that experience helps clients across San Diego feel more informed, prepared, and supported while navigating employment disputes and personal injury matters.

Nicole Barvié

Biography

As a first-generation American, I know firsthand that the legal system in this country is not always fair — especially to people of color, and especially to people whose first language is not English.


My parents immigrated from Mexico and Argentina, and growing up, I saw countless friends and family members not pursue cases because they were afraid and didn’t know their rights. The ones who did try to file a lawsuit were unable to find a lawyer who actually communicated with them in a way they could understand. 

I went to law school wanting to help underprivileged individuals navigate the legal system in this country. 


Along the way I had the opportunity to work for a boutique defense firm and gain invaluable insight and knowledge in evaluating cases from the insurance company viewpoint — an experience that equipped me with the unique perspective on how to maximize recovery for my clients. 


However, I knew I didn’t want to defend insurance companies long-term. 

So I learned everything I could about their tactics, and then I set off to start my own firm: a firm that would defend people against them. Especially the people who need help the most. 


I aim to break down the barriers to the U.S. justice system so that everyone, especially immigrants, knows that they have rights and deserve justice. 


I want my clients to have a lawyer they can trust — without using legal jargon or speaking over their head — and keeping them informed every step of the way.


I do this by listening and understanding each of my clients and their problems, communicating with my clients clearly and openly, and always fighting for what’s right. 



I share my life with my husband, Jeff, my ride or die since 2010. We have two young daughters and two big Siberian cats. In my free time, I spend as much time as I can outdoors, working out on my Peloton, and watching true crime documentaries.
