I can't say enough great things about Barrister Executive Suites (on Olympic in West LA). This office is managed beautifully by Dawn Thompson--she keeps everything running seamlessly and creates such a welcoming, professional environment. Bridgett and Maria at the front desk are absolutely amazing. They're friendly, attentive, and always go out of their way to help, whether it's assisting with admin needs, or just making the day smoother. The whole team goes above and beyond to make sure tenants and their clients feel supported. The space itself is clean, well-maintained, and perfect for a productive workday. read more

The facility and team at Barrister is exceptional. Although technically a co-working space, it really is a community. Dawn, Bridget and the rest of the staff treat everyone like family and are dedicated to delivering personalized service everyday. The Barrister IT, phones and other infrastructure work flawlessly and if there is ever an issue, they are on it immediately. Your lease includes complimentary access to a beautiful conference room as well. Although I am an attorney, Barrister is perfect for startups, private practice mental health professionals and others. And the neighboring tenants in the suites couldn't be more friendly and helpful. As a bonus, there is a wonderful family owned cafe downstairs that serves a variety of delicious, healthy, high quality meals every day (and good coffee!) If you need a workspace on the west side, I highly recommend Barrister in the 11500 Olympic Blvd. W building. read more

Offices are well kept, staff is really nice and price is fair. Highly recommend this location

This Building is Great!! Dawn Thompson & the Office Staff are so kind & respectful!! They make sure if you have a question you get an answer. They have amazing follow up with the tenants & are very communicative with all! If we had a question we got an answer, if we had an issue, it was addressed promptly. The Office is a nice building, it is rather deceptive from the street how many offices are in this building but it is a great space!! From the Coffee that is made Monday to Friday, to the treats on Fridays, it is a nice gesture to offer the tenants for the rental. You have use of 2 conference rooms (with online booking) so it is super easy. If you are looking for a rental this is a great option.. We have looked at a few other offices around Los Angeles & this one Blew them all out of the water from the service & the follow up along with the office space. We were looking for a temporary office space during our building move in this location by far was the best price along with the best option that was available. Previous options we looked at were in bad neighborhoods, office building managers were horrible, this place is by far the best option. If you are looking for a space to run your office out of, this is a great option... If you are looking for a temporary space, this is also a great option... Thank You to the office staff for making it a great experience for us to rent this went above & beyond our expectations. read more

I've got to say Barrister Executive Suites is in excellent hands, under the guidance of Dawn, Bridget and their exceptional staff. I rented one office earlier this year and it couldn't have been the easiest office move I've done within the last year. When I needed an additional office, Dawn took care of everything less than a week. Her staff is awesome and friendly, always with a smile. When answering phones, you can hear the smile through the phone lines! I definitely will refer Barrister Executive Suites to any of my business partners should they ever need an office to hang their shingle!!! Mr. Chris A. Kalili Operations Manager Traffic Safety Consultants, Inc. read more

I love my office space in West LA with Barrister Executive Suites. It's so clean and bright. The staff has been so friendly and helpful. They have been accommodating for me in my rental agreement and fees and really cared about me as a tenant. Dawn is compassionate and accessible. She responds quickly to any issues and puts efforts into making me feel comfortable in my space. She even showed me other tenants' offices, with their approval, to help me decorate. read more

See all

We have been tenants for awhile now, I love it here we moved from having our own suite, to coming here. Dawn and her crew of girls are always helpful they made the transition very easy for us. The girls are always polite and keep the place nice and clean. We get our packages deliver and a smile always from Bridgett. I have no complaints if I email they answer, if I call they answer and they are always happy to help me on anything. read more

Barrister executive suites on Olympic is outstanding. I had my office there for over 11 years and I've had the best experience due to Dawn Thompson. She is warm, helpful, accommodating, kind, compassionate, and available. That was the one thing I loved about renting my office was having that kind of a family feel in a large building. The front desk staff was always outstanding professional kind unbelievable as well. My office was always maintained very very clean rugs were cleaned, windows were washed, cleaning crew came and emptied the trash every night and they were extremely kind. Whenever I had an issue, Dawn or the front desk got back to me immediately. Dawn helped me once when my air conditioner wasn't working. Dawn got maintenance to come fix it almost immediately. She checked back to make sure everything was working as needed always with a smile on her face. Thank you Barrister for having such a fantastic office manager and front desk staff that made my experience truly wonderful. read more

I have been a tenant at Barrister on Olympic for over a decade and I have zero complaints about them. Their onsite manager, Dawn, has been with us the entire time we have been there and she has always been courteous, helpful and friendly. Also in our 10+ years there, I have seen a very few staff members come and go, i.e. the turnover is actually quite low, so there's a great continuity of staff over time, unlike some other business suite mgmt companies that I have worked with. The offices and common areas are neat and well appointed and I and my team have occupied several units over the years - which one of the great things about Barrister. As our needs have changed, there's been a different size unit or configuration to accommodate us. Now with virtual office options, we have really never had need to look elsewhere for a location to suit us. Over the years, I have seen the conference rooms and lobby expanded and upgraded from "very nice" to "truly elegant." The other tenants are quiet and tend to keep to themselves. Lots of accountants, therapists, lawyers, and the like. There are several comfortable waiting areas for our patients. So comfortable in fact, I've even had a number of them befriend the Barrister staff over the years. Zero complaints. read more

terrible customer service here at this location. all tenants beware. the person that runs the place is extremely rude, unprofessional, and vindictive. their offices are rundown and dingy. you can hear everything from the office next door. i would not recommend this location to anyone especially as long as the same office manager is still there. read more

I have really enjoyed renting an office at Barrister Executive Suites for the past several years. Staff is extremely friendly, respectful, and responsive and the facility is always clean. Dawn goes above and beyond her job responsibilities and is eager to help each tenant's unique requests. From watering my plants in my office while I was on maternity leave to immediately addressing any AC issues I've had, I have felt very lucky to have her as the suite manager. Due to covid, I have not been using my office for the past several months. Dawn continues to water my plants for me and the staff send me my office mail on a weekly basis. I'm so grateful to the entire team. read more

The offices and staff are very professional and particularly suited to a law practice. It was easy to book conference rooms and I have never had issues with conference room availability. My clients especially liked the location as it is near the freeway and otherwise convenient. read more

The company is professional and goes over the top to be accomodating and a beautiful facility. Its over the top service and customizable which is why we chose them for a satellite office we needed fr meetings etc. Dawn the manager is a superstar and ready to help read more

Barrister is a great manager of space and Dawn Thompson is the building manager here in West Los Angeles who always follows through and get things done. The reception staff is always cordial, the conference rooms are well maintained, the kitchen is kept clean, and my neighbors give the sense that we are all one happy family. Overall, if you are looking for workable work space, Barrister is great company to work with. I'm not a salesman and these comments are based on my experience over the last few years. read more

I am an 11 1/2 year tenant in an Office Suite that has been managed by Barrister over approximately the past 3 years. My wife was diagnosed with Ovarian Cancer in January of 2018 and died November 22, 2018. For the past six or seven months I have brought my registerd service dog that I have a Dr's letter for to work with me. The dog is an 11 year old 14lb maltipoo that sits on her pillow in my office 90% of the time unless I take her out. During the time my dog accompanied me, no one from Barrister ever inquired regarding the dog. Approximately two weeks ago, a representative of the owners of the building, the Muller Company that employs Barrister to manage the Suite, informed me that the dog was a lease violation. I gave her the Dr's letter and she handed it back to me, I gave it back to her and asked her to keep it. I then had my attorney call the Muller Company representative and the Muller Company representative assured my attorney the dog was not an issue. On April 15, 2019 (and I'm a CPA...) the Muller Company representative entered my office and gave me a letter from Barrister stating my lease was being temintated without cause. i suggest anyone considering renting from Barrister or The Muller Company think long and hard about the people they are giving their money to. If behavior such as this is an example of the Barrister Muller company policies, I feel badly for anyone involved with either of these organizations. As I've heard it said, "If this is the type of behavior that makes you feel good about yourself, I feel sorry for you." read more

Buyer Beware!! We signed a 6 month lease and on month 5, we gave our 30 days notice only to hear that we should have given 60 days notice, otherwise the lease auto-renews!?!?! So we got stuck with another 6 months. Nothing was explained when we signed the lease but to their credit it was buried in the fine print. Never again with this company. Run the opposite direction or have a lawyer explain every detail. read more

I was recently tasked with finding local executive suites to house our new headquarters in the South Bay. I was referred to Dawn by an employee, and contacted her. Dawn was exceptional, she was prompt in her responses, and made sure to give me every option available to best suit our needs. She was helpful, and concise, she also offered to meet at the LAX location to provide a tour, although that is not her suite! She went out of her way to make sure that our needs were met, and to make us feel like there was a home for us within Barrister Executive Suites. We ended up touring the Century Blvd location. The front desk staff was also amazing, and very professional. During the tour, Dawn was informative, and I was amazed with the cleanliness of the building (restrooms were 5-star). Highly recommend Barrister for all your executive suite needs! read more

As a tenant for over nine years, this place rocks. Every issue which comes up, and there have been very few, is dealt with immediately, politely, professionally, and with follow-up to ensure that the problem is cured. Suite Manager Dawn Thompson is a breath of fresh air, always sunny and bright, even when she deals with bad news. And, thanks to her, we have occasional meet-the-new-tenants parties and soirees. Two big thumbs up. read more

UPDATE 3/12/18: Instead of writing a simple apology or a positive message of recognition like a good manager would, Dawn Thompson has written me TWO messages threatening to sue me! This is precisely why I wrote a negative review in the first place. This "manager" needs a big lesson on customer service, and she gives the rest of the good, professional people at Barrister (Carrie Gates--thank you for your message) a very bad name. FYI--my review is very real and it's based on first-hand knowledge. I will defend it 100% and I will NOT be bullied by anyone. Here is one of Dawn's messages which shows off her vindictiveness: "Brenda, Reuben or Zac whoever you want to be today, This is false posting and I have now reached out to Yelp regarding getting your true information and have contacted a lawyer regarding taking actions for slander as your posting is false, I hope you have a good lawyer!!" read more

After 2 decades of leasing and running our own offices, we moved into Barrister Suites over a year ago, and will never look back. The manager, Dawn, and her team are utmost professionals who keep this place running smoothly and efficiently take care of our mail, reception, IT and general office needs. Moving here has helped us to keep our administrative costs at a minimum, saving us so much money. We love the freedom of focusing on our clients and our business, knowing that Barrister Suites will take care of our offices. read more

Last autumn we were looking for economical office space on the west side and called Barrister. Ended up talking to Dawn. She was so pleasant and efficient that the search was shortened and we moved in within 2 weeks. My only regret is not doing it sooner. Reception, conference rooms, office services, kitchen are all top notch and well maintained. But what really sets the place apart is the staff. Any questions large or small are addressed courteously and quickly, and they always seem glad to see us. Dawn's door is literally always open when she is there. Whatever wacky question or request I have, she either has an immediate answer or starts firing off emails to get the needed information almost before I have finished asking. We really feel well taken care of. Even the other tenants seem to be in the spirit - everyone friendly and welcoming. I think they have all taken their cue from the atmosphere set by Dawn. Oh, and the cappuccino in the cafe downstairs is first rate. 5 stars indeed! read more

I've been doing business with Dawn Thompson for the past several years. I find her to be efficient, proficient and easy to work with. I highly recommend her and her company. read more

We lawyers, particularly in a most competitive area like Los Angeles, are under enormous stress. Particularly those of us who are sole practitioners have to rely on our own learning and the ever more difficult task of keeping up to date with all the changes in the day to day practice of law. We thus obviously need a very good environment in which to house our offices. Dawn Thompson, as manger of the West L.A., Barrister Suites, goes out of her way to provide that environment. Even with a significant number of tenants, she makes every effort to see to it that the individual needs of each tenant are met. She fully comprehends the challenges and difficulties that her tenants face professionally, and is a most sympathetic and attentive suite manager. read more

I feel compelled to leave a review concerning Dawn Thompson who is the manager for the BarristerSuites in West LA for her outstanding customer service, responsiveness and guidance. We recently moved from a suite on the third floor up to the fourth floor into 4 BarristerSuites. The move had the potential of being very difficult one because of the logistics due to the amount of people and equipment that needed moved as well as special IT needs. From day one Dawn was very accommodating in showing the suites and when I shared with her our special needs she had recommendations for the contractors to do the work that were tried and tested. We were not disappointed by her recommendations; all work was done on time and in a professional manner. What had the potential of being a nightmare turned out to be a well-oiled move and I owe a lot of the credit to Dawn for her guidance and support in making this happen. read more
