Originally from Mexico, Attorney Talia Barrales immigrated to the United States at the age of 4 with her family. After earning a Bachelor of Arts in Communication from California State University and a Juris Doctor from the Massachusetts School of Law, Talia founded Barrales Law in 2013. Talia is dedicated to fighting on behalf of immigrant workers and families and has extensive experience representing clients in complex immigration and employment law matters. In 2019, Talia argued and won a precedent-setting case before the United States First Circuit Court of Appeals in Rosales Justo v. Sessions (2018).

Talia has built a successful law firm while remaining committed to providing pro bono services for indigent and low-income clients. In addition to working on various social justice projects, she is both a member and generous donor to Cosecha, an organization that advocates for immigrant rights, and The Chica Project, a nonprofit that promotes female empowerment. She is constantly involved in community projects that focus on access to justice and the advancement of human rights. The Boston City Council formally recognized Talia for her commitment to promoting women’s rights by designating January 20, 2017 as “Talia Barrales Day.”

Talia’s expertise in immigration law is highly sought after and has landed her coverage in print and broadcast outlets throughout Massachusetts, including The Boston Globe, Telemundo, and Univision. In 2020, Talia was recognized by the Boston Business Journal as one of the “Top 40 Under 40” Boston professionals. Talia is frequently invited to speak at universities and professional conferences. She was a featured speaker at the “Nuestra Voz”: Amplifying Latino Power, Influence, and Impact Conference.
Talia is admitted to practice in the Commonwealth of Massachusetts. Her professional associations include the Boston Bar Association, American Immigration Lawyers Association and the Massachusetts Bar Association.
