This review is from a person who hired this attorney.

Helped me to better my severance

Few years back, my employer decided to lay me off in the name of workforce reduction. It was wrongful termination because I was involved in protected activity(serving grand jury duty). Employer offered me severance which was total injustice for my several years of hard work and stellar performance(ne...ver been written up and saved money for this employer) but never been a boot licking employee. Hired Berry among 5 other law firms who were willing to take this strong case. Berry is very detailed. He made sure that severance is at least 3X than what it was originally offered along with more insurance coverage so that I can sail thru the difficult times. I wanted reinstatement but looking at the counter offer from the ex-employer - I later decided to move on and look for another job. There might be many attorneys in DFW but trust me Berry is empathetic towards his clients, keep clients in the loop thru out the negotiation process and make sure that Employers are not feeling that "they are doing a favor" by being on the negotiation table. It's high time, US government do something to stop outsourcing of jobs and control H-1B and other visa. US workers should unite and form unions to make sure that greedy Corporations and not shipping the jobs overseas and using US just as a consumer market. We need more employee side attorneys like Berry.

Great Advice

Barry actually gave me the information I needed to decide not to sue a former employer and I think that counts as a win-win. The ex-employer did some underhanded conduct in laying a bunch of us off, we consulted several attorneys and Barry was the most responsive. We were actually driving home to CT ...to be by my Mother's bedside as she passed--it never rains it pours, when Barry got back to us. He gave me an indepth consultation about the case, for free and in the end, I decided not to sue the former employer for age discrimination. The bottom line was that Barry was key in providing clear information that allowed me to form an objective analysis, of any potential litigation. I would highly recommend him to anyone in a similar situation. In the end, I took the severance pay and decided to put that part of my career behind me. Thanks, Barry!

Employment dispute

I contacted Barry Hersh to help me when my employer wrongfully fired me. Mr Hersh moved quickly and professionally to get a settlement and to clear my name in this unpleasant dispute. He was thorough, fast, intelligent and very easy to communicate with on all matters of our case. I highly recommen...d him.

Professional and Personable

“Throughout my career I had dealt with many legal issues through business, but this was my first experience in needing legal advice and representation for a personal matter. In seeking a qualified attorney in employment law, Barry Hersh was recommended to me by an in house attorney from another compa...ny. I found Barry to be not only knowledgeable, experienced and skilled but a genuinely caring person. He gave me the courage and encouragement to hang in there through what was a long, arduous journey that frankly should have been settled quickly by my former employer. Barry reminded me more than once that I had been wronged and we were on the right side of getting the pay that I had earned and was due to me. The patience and preparation paid off as I was awarded my full pay, expenses and all legal fees. I recommend Barry and the Hersh Law Firm without reservation and will use them in business and personal issues should the need ever arise again.”
