About David
Biography
During the majority of my legal career I have worked in the area of employment law, handling a number of landmark court cases, and having argued cases in every state and federal court in my jurisdiction up to the United States Supreme Court.
I also served as a New Jersey Deputy Attorney General and as the Chief Counsel to the New Jersey Division on Civil Rights--the state anti-discriminination agency. Subsequently, I was a Hearing Examiner conducting administrative trials and deciding discrimination case for the Division on Civil Rights. I also served as the County Counsel of Essex County, NJ and as the Assistant Commissioner and the Director of Litigation of the New Jersey Department of the Public Advocate.
I am a member of the Executive Committee of the New Jersey State Bar Association Labor and Employment Law Section. I have served as a member of the New Jersey Supreme Court Committee on Civil Practice. I have been listed as a "Super Lawyer" in that New Jersey publication since 2006 and have been rated "AV" by Martindale-Hubbell Law Directory for 35 years.
David Ben-Asher has represented thousands of employees in seeking negotiated or litigated solutions.
Mr. Ben-Asher handles discrimination, whistleblower retaliation, harassment and contract matters.
