Biografía
Joy Barrientes is a trial attorney at Janicek Law who focuses her practice on complex healthcare liability litigation, including medical malpractice, birth injury, obstetrical negligence, nursing home negligence, and wrongful death cases. She represents individuals and families who have suffered catastrophic harm and is committed to holding healthcare providers and institutions accountable when preventable errors occur.
Joy is actively involved in all phases of litigation, from case investigation and expert development through depositions, motion practice, mediation, and trial preparation. Her experience litigating both trial and appellate matters gives her a comprehensive perspective on how complex healthcare liability claims are developed, challenged, and ultimately presented. She has worked on cases involving surgical errors, delayed diagnoses, birth trauma, maternal injuries, and systemic failures in patient care.
A graduate of St. Mary’s University School of Law, Joy served as a staff writer and associate editor for The Scholar: St. Mary’s Law Review on Race and Social Justice. She is a native of the Rio Grande Valley and earned her undergraduate degree from Texas A&M University–Kingsville before attending law school and making San Antonio her home.
Joy approaches each case with meticulous preparation and a strong understanding that behind every medical record is a person or family whose life has been profoundly affected. She works closely with her clients to understand their experiences and ensure their stories are powerfully presented throughout the litigation process.
Joy has been recognized as one of San Antonio’s Outstanding Women in Law and is deeply committed to advocating for children, the elderly, and families affected by medical negligence.
Outside the courtroom, Joy enjoys DIY home projects, gardening, and spending time outdoors. She especially enjoys fishing along the Texas coast with her family and her dog, Lady.
