"Other law firms were clearly intimidated by the specifics of my case and the name of my previous employer. I was told repeatedly that no matter how blatantly obvious it was that I was wronged, no lawyer would take my case. I was about to give up when I found the employment experts, the law firm of Schall and Barasch.

What a difference when you are represented by the absolute best in their field. Richard and Patricia's candor, empathy and diligent professionalism filled me with confidence throughout the long and arduous process. I truly cannot thank them enough for their efforts, and I wholeheartedly recommend their services without reservation.” – Debra Shibe, Milltown, NJ

“I have been more than pleased with the representation that I've received from Schall & Barasch. The experience was even more so enhanced by the inclusion of me and my ideas in the process. I really felt that this was a team effort. I was kept informed at every step in the process. I was told what to expect and therefore there were no surprises. Richard Schall made me aware of my options and discussed the potential outcomes that could possibly result from each. He listened to me and comforted me at those times when I needed to know that I was not alone in this. His was the voice of reason when it was difficult for me to separate emotions from logic.

If I had to go through this experience, I'm glad I went through it with Schall and Barasch. I cannot thank Richard Schall enough. I would not hesitate to recommend Schall & Barasch to friends and family who find themselves in a legal situation involving employment law.” ­ Ina Noble, North Wales, PA

:"Richard & Patricia: I want to thank Schall & Barasch, LLC for their outstanding representation in my Equal Pay Act case. In my case, Richard Schall and Patricia Barasch were willing to courageously pursue justice against the State and its limitless resources.

Richard Schall and Patricia Barasch’s legal skills are unmatched. More importantly, beyond their knowledge of the law and the courts, they possess the fortitude and determination required to persist through years of intense litigation in court. Richard Schall and Patricia Barasch remained unwavering and always professional in litigation that became unnecessarily contentious. I would highly recommend Schall & Barasch, LLC to my friends and family in any employment litigation matter.” –  Theresa Hubal

“Richard - I wanted to take a moment to thank you personally for your help in this uncertain time. I have never had to deal with the threat of a lawsuit and your guidance, prompt attention, and personal concern with my case was really felt. I was very comfortable the whole time; you really seemed concerned with my case and my well being. In contrast to other attorneys’ who fill the labor law/employment space, it was clear from the start that you were more concerned with situation of the employee than the position of the larger corporate interests. At every turn I felt like my rights, happiness, and well-being were cared for; that is a rarity in any service industry nowadays. I try to recognize it when I see it.

It goes without saying that I would recommend you to family, friends and clients alike. I would extend that endorsement to anyone who is suddenly in need of reliable counsel, especially regarding a non-compete /employment issue."

“You are a true, caring lawyer who probably took my case because you believed me, and also felt there was an injustice done; therefore, while you weren’t going to make a killing in the money department, you really wanted to right the wrong that was done to me. And you did! I can’t tell you how much that meant to me, and still does. I had almost given up hope, and then you agreed to help me, and saved everything from being lost. You got me everything they took from me, which as you know, was honestly all I was looking for.

I will never, ever forget what you did for me, and wish you the “best of everything” as you are truly a caring man and lawyer, which is a rare combination these days.”

From a letter from Joan Howlett to Richard Schall [August 30, 2007]

"Rich Schall and Patricia Barasch both took the time to understand the issues associated with my case. Their communications with me were [thorough] and complete.

I was impressed with their knowledge of New Jersey employment law. Both Richard and Patricia make you feel at ease. They both have a way of making you feel important even during some dark moments." – Donald Longo

"I have had the pleasure of having Richard Schall of the firm Schall & Barasch represent me. The firm of Schall and Barasch not only had worked hard on my case, giving a considerable amount of their time and energy, but when they found out my grandson and myself were living in an empty apartment, they immediately came to our aide. In no time, they had not only given, but reached out to others. Because of their thoughtfulness, kindness, and generosity, we now have a furnished apartment.

Nothing can replace all that we lost, but at least for now, we look at it as if we have a home and a fresh beginning. I'm grateful for another opportunity to be able to say, thank you, to the firm of Schall & Barasch. Richard and Patricia thank you and all those that gave of themselves, their time, hard work and energy." - Mildred and Jay Lightfoot

"Ms. Barasch was such a tremendous help at a very difficult time. She explained everything to me, gave me options and always answered my questions. She was patient and kind and was willing to help when quite a few firms turned me down. I was, to say the least, extremely pleased with her representation!" –Lisa Candella

"I'm writing to thank you. During our many years of litigation in the above matter, it has been sweet to savor the good character of the man who protected my needs.

You were always calm and deliberate, and never persuaded to move off center. I think you have remarkable composure and focus, and I saw your resolute intelligence grappling with irrational arguments made by the State. Thank you for representing me. And more importantly, I'm glad I know you." – From a letter from Stephen Gregory to Richard Schall [July 10, 2004]

"The service I received from Schall & Barasch was excellent. Richard Schall was empathetic to my situation and was able to counsel me when no other attorney wanted to take my case. I thank Richard Schall for his belief in my case and his compassion through a very difficult time in my life." – Luis Rivera

I found the firm of Schall & Barasch when searching the Internet for legal representation concerning my denied unemployment claim. Everyone I encountered at the firm was always friendly yet professional. All my questions were answered promptly if not immediately. Patricia Barasch was my counselor, she explained everything to me in a logical order ensuring I understood each step we took concerning the legal procedures and the legal fees involved.

"Patricia Barasch helped me move on with my life as she handled everything so compassionately and quickly. I am grateful for the human kindness Ms. Barasch demonstrated."–Gail Reilly
