The Barnes Firm was founded on a simple but powerful belief: injured people deserve strong, compassionate, and relentless legal representation. From its earliest days, the firm focused exclusively on personal injury law, advocating for individuals and families harmed by negligence.
What began as a focused practice has grown into a nationally recognized personal injury law firm with offices across New York and California. Throughout that growth, The Barnes Firm has remained committed to its founding principles, personalized attention, trial-ready advocacy, and an unwavering focus on results.
As experienced personal injury attorneys, we understand the physical and mental stress that often comes with navigating a personal injury case. Not only do victims have to worry about recovering medically, but they also have to ensure their rights are upheld and that they receive the compensation they are entitled to that can help with hardship and suffering. You can trust us to help you get the best results possible.
The Barnes Firm is well-equipped and ready at a moment’s notice to help represent your personal injury case successfully, having attorneys and staff on both the East and West Coasts of the United States. Coupled with our prestigious accreditations and endorsements from previous clients, we are confident that our attorneys will fight to get the compensation you deserve.
The Barnes Firm was founded by Steve Barnes, whose vision was to create a law firm dedicated to seeking justice for individuals harmed by the wrongdoing of others. Following Steve’s unexpected passing, his brother, Rich Barnes, assumed the role of President.
Rich Barnes brings more than 40 years of legal experience as a trial lawyer, former Senior Assistant District Attorney, and private practice attorney. Under his leadership, The Barnes Firm is now supported by more than 40 experienced attorneys, all united by a shared commitment to advocacy, preparation, and results.
Guided by the principles Steve Barnes established, Rich Barnes and the attorneys of The Barnes Firm continue to honor his legacy by striving to achieve the best possible outcome for every client, in every case.
The Barnes Firm concentrates exclusively on personal injury law. This focused approach allows our attorneys to develop deep knowledge, strong litigation strategies, and a track record of success across a wide range of injury claims, including:
Every case is prepared as if it will go to trial. While many cases resolve through settlement, our readiness to litigate positions our clients for the strongest possible outcomes.
