Described by one of Texas' premier law firms as a "real go-getter who is tenacious and effective," Dallas employment attorney Barry Hersh is a favorite among Dallas/Fort Worth area executives, professionals, and other Texas employees as well as growing Texas employers.  In 2005, Texas’ top lawyers named Barry a “Texas Super Lawyer Rising Star” in employment litigation.  More recently, he earned the distinction of being named by D Magazine as one of the “Best Lawyers under 40 in Dallas."

Barry is Board Certified in Labor and Employment Law by the Texas Board of Legal Specialization.  According to the State Bar of Texas, less than one percent of Texas' 77,000 licensed attorneys are Certified in Labor and Employment Law.  An attorney must be licensed to practice law for at least five years before sitting for a certification exam.  Barry earned this distinction during his first year of eligibility. 

"...excellent versatility and breadth"

"Barry is a great representative...I would recommend him as a go-to attorney"

"...great, professional representation... "

Before opening his law office, Barry represented some of the nation's leading employers for two of Texas' largest law firms.  During this period, Barry observed that Texas employees often didn't receive the same zealous legal representation that their cases deserved.  Executives, professionals, managers, and other Texas employees couldn't retain the large law firms with whom they developed relationships during their employment due to the law firms’ ethical conflicts.  At the same time, traditional plaintiffs’ employment law firms didn't offer them the attention and personalized client experience their disputes required.

Barry opened his Dallas employment law firm to offer Texas employees and dynamic  employers an employment practice with a large law firm's depth and sophistication and the cost structure, accessibility, and personalized attention of a boutique law firm.  Barry's "client first" philosophy is evident in all areas of his practice.  Barry—not a secretary or legal assistant—returns all client telephone calls.

Presently, a significant part of Barry's Texas employment law practice is dedicated to resolving disputes on behalf of Texas employees and employers involving Texas non-compete law, unpaid wages and compensation (executive severance, commissions and bonuses, overtime pay, and breach of employment agreement), retaliation, workplace harassment, age discrimination, sex discrimination, pregnancy discrimination, and independent contractor misclassification matters.
