Justice for Victims of Personal Injury, Product Liability, Medical Malpractice, and Wrongful Death

South Edison native Barry R. Eichen is a Shareholder with Eichen Crutchlow Zaslow, LLP, and one of New Jersey’s most seasoned and well-respected trial lawyers. Energetic and hands-on, Mr. Eichen has built a thriving practice that is esteemed by clients, peers, and the judiciary throughout the state of New Jersey. His areas of practice include personal injury, products liability, Federal Employee Liability Act cases (FELA), medical malpractice, and other complex litigation matters. Mr. Eichen has also served on the Board of Governors for ATLA-NJ and has taught seminars at the request of ATLA.

In 2018, Mr. Eichen was awarded the Top 2018 Settlement by New Jersey Law Journal on behalf of a plumbing/HVAC foreman who fell through a hole and sustained serious injuries. In recent years, Mr. Eichen has been secured millions of dollars in trucking, traffic, and construction litigation cases, many whose terms are confidential in order to protect his clients.

Mr. Eichen was featured in a televised forum “A Jersey Matters Town Hall: The Heroin Crisis,” This one-of-a-kind statewide town hall took place at Monmouth University on March 16th, 2017. WJLP-TV (Me-TV) in association with the Asbury Park Press sponsored the program to discuss the real problem of heroin and opiate addictions and deaths in New Jersey. In 2017, Mr. Eichen was featured on the cover of Best Lawyers magazine.

“Barry and his amazing Assistant Maria, answered our questions and handled our case with dignity and compassion. Maria was always prompt, professional and polite and Barry made himself available with his personal number for any questions we had along the way. If you are looking for guidance and results – I highly recommend Barry Eichen and his team.”

“My experience with this law firm was second to none. While I was still in the hospital recovering from my accident, Mr. Eichen made it a point to come see me himself. His impression on me then is still the same as it is today. He is someone who does not take no for an answer, and will not back down, and will continue to fight until the end for what is right and to get you the compensation you deserve. That attitude must be a requirement to work there because the team he assembled to handle my case were thorough, professional and the very embodiment of his tenacity from start to finish. With the willingness to do whatever it takes and the combined years of legal expertise and experience between all the partners and associates, I couldn’t have asked for a better firm to represent me and have my back.”

“My brother was killed in a truck accident, and Barry, Maria and all the other good people at this firm did everything they could to ensure that my family and I received the closest possible thing to justice for our suffering. When we were searching for lawyers to take on our case, needless to say we were wary of coming across one who would exploit us and leave us with little to nothing. This firm isn’t like that. They’re good people you can trust.”
