About The Firm
Trial-readyVeteran-ownedBuilt for you
Barber & Papa was founded on a single conviction - that every person harmed by negligence deserves skilled, honest, and relentless representation, regardless of who they're up against.
As former collegiate athletes, that standard isn’t optional - it’s how they’ve always competed. At the college level, talent is a given - what separates the best is will. The same resilience it takes to push through injuries and keep competing is what we bring to every case.

We built Barber & Papa because we believed clients deserved something different - not a revolving door of paralegals and case managers, but a direct relationship with an experienced trial attorney who is personally accountable for the outcome of their outcome.
Kevin Barber built his employment practice from the ground up after serving in the U.S. Army. Robert Papa spent years as a named partner at one of New Jersey's largest personal injury firms. Both of them reached a point in their careers where they asked the same question: Why are clients with the most to lose the ones least likely to get direct access to their attorney?
Barber & Papa is the answer to that question. We represent people who have been injured through someone else's negligence and workers who have been discriminated against, underpaid, or wrongfully let go. These are high-stakes matters that can define a person's financial future, and we treat them that way.
Our promise is simple - you will work directly with your attorney. We return calls. We explain every development. And we prepare every case as if it will go to a jury! It's that preparation that forces insurers and employers to take us seriously at the negotiating table.
We work on contingency - you pay nothing unless we recover for you. Our interests are aligned with yours from day one.
