About Barry S.
Barry S. Hersh built his legal foundation in two well-regarded public universities. He earned a Bachelor of Arts from the University of Michigan, Ann Arbor in 1995 and completed his juris doctor at The University of Texas School of Law in 1998. Those years set the course for a practice rooted in employment law and Texas litigation.
After law school, Hersh established himself in the Dallas legal community. He is active in state and local bar groups and maintains memberships with the Texas State Bar, the Dallas Bar Association, and the National Employment Lawyers Association. Those connections keep him plugged into developments in statutes and case law that affect workers and employers in Texas.
Hersh is certified in Labor and Employment Law by the Texas Board of Legal Specialization. That credential marks a focused body of work in workplace claims and counseling. He also holds admitting privileges in multiple federal courts across Texas and the Fifth Circuit, including the Northern, Southern, Eastern and Western Districts of Texas and the U.S. Court of Appeals for the Fifth Circuit. Those admissions allow him to handle matters that reach beyond the state trial level.
His day-to-day practice centers on employment disputes. He represents individuals in matters such as wrongful termination, wage-and-hour claims, discrimination and retaliation. He also advises clients on workplace policies and the litigation risks those policies can carry. Cases range from early-stage negotiations to litigated matters in state and federal court.
Colleagues describe him as direct in the courtroom and methodical in preparation. He approaches each matter with a tactical view of the record and an eye toward practical remedies. That approach is reflected in his role as a Dallas employment lawyer at Hersh Law Office, PC, where he handles a steady docket of employment cases for plaintiffs and occasionally for employers.
Hersh’s practice combines courtroom experience with an understanding of how employment law translates into everyday workplace rules. He remains engaged in bar and professional groups that focus on labor and employment issues. He currently concentrates his practice on employment law at Hersh Law Office, PC.
