DULUTH, GA, February 03, 2026 /24-7PressRelease/ -- Keren Barrios-Virgüez has been included in Marquis Who's Who. As in all Marquis Who's Who biographical volumes, individuals profiled are selected on the basis of current reference value. Factors such as position, noteworthy accomplishments, visibility, and prominence in a field are all taken into account during the selection process.

Mrs. Barrios-Virgüez has established herself as a leading expert in personal injury law, serving as a co-founder at Barrios Virguez since 2013. Under her leadership, the firm has become recognized for its specialization in personal injury and immigration cases. Together with her husband, Mrs. Barrios-Virgüez has built a practice grounded in a shared commitment to community service and justice. Their vision was shaped by their early professional experiences: Mrs. Barrios-Virgüez spent three years at an immigration firm while pursuing her legal studies, gaining firsthand insight into the complexities immigrants face. Motivated by dissatisfaction with the prevailing job market and a desire to deliver a superior legal experience to clients, they launched their own firm.

Since its inception, Barrios Virguez has been recognized as one of the fastest-growing law firms in the United States for five consecutive years. The firm's dedication to excellence has also been acknowledged through multiple accolades, including three Best of Gwinnett Awards from 2022 to 2024 and three Best of Georgia honors for outstanding performance as an immigration firm. Mrs. Barrios-Virgüez's expertise is further demonstrated by her active membership in the American Immigration Lawyers Association.

Throughout her career, Mrs. Barrios-Virgüez has demonstrated a deep commitment to pro bono work, particularly in cases involving catastrophic accidents and complex immigration matters. She has played a pivotal role in reuniting families during challenging times and advocating for those who might otherwise be overlooked by the legal system.

One of Mrs. Barrios-Virgüez's most significant professional achievements involved representing the family of a young immigrant worker who died while supporting his family abroad. Through diligent investigation, she discovered the widow and daughter of the deceased in Guatemala, who were unaware of the ongoing proceedings. Mrs. Barrios-Virgüez's advocacy led to a substantial settlement that transformed her clients' lives, exemplifying her dedication to delivering justice and making a tangible difference for them.

Mrs. Barrios-Virgüez's educational background laid a strong foundation for her legal career. She earned a Juris Doctor from Atlanta's John Marshall University in 2013, following a Bachelor of Science in criminal justice with a legal track at Georgia State University in 2010.

A defining moment from Mrs. Barrios-Virgüez's early life continues to influence her path: at age 10, she survived a kidnapping ordeal that lasted 13 days before being rescued by police — a rare outcome that led to the apprehension of eight perpetrators. Attending the subsequent trial at age 11 inspired her decision to pursue law after witnessing the impact made by the district attorney handling her case. This formative experience instilled in Mrs. Barrios-Virgüez an enduring commitment to justice that remains evident throughout her distinguished career.

Reflecting on her career, Mrs. Barrios-Virgüez attributes much of her success to her approach to client relations, emphasizing respect and positive experiences as central tenets of her practice. Passion remains her driving force in a demanding field known for high burnout rates, and she credits her resilience to surrounding herself with supportive peers and maintaining clarity about her purpose in law.

Beyond her professional pursuits, Mrs. Barrios-Virgüez is actively engaged in civic initiatives as a board member of both the Renacer Foundation and Love Lawrenceville. These roles reflect her broader commitment to community development and support.

Born in Guatemala City, Mrs. Barrios-Virgüez is also dedicated to her family life as a parent to two sons. Looking ahead, she is committed to expanding the reach of Barrios Virguez Attorneys alongside her husband with the goal of assisting more individuals within their community.
Additionally, she aspires to author a book recounting her life story, aiming to inspire others by sharing the lessons she has learned through perseverance and resilience in the face of adversity.
