Too bad there is not an option for 10 start because this Firm deserves it. After having multiple consultations and denials, I felt there was no hope for my case. Pershing Square Law Firm then reached out to me and at first, I tried brushing them off. After talking with Assaf, whom i highly recommend, brought light into my case. Their hard work and dedication paid off!! Thanks Assaf.

This place is amazing, stood by me the entire way and got me the positive results I wanted. I highly recommend this place to anyone that needs help with unemployment issues. A++

Assaf represented me at a unemployment appeal hearing. This guy was great! I'm so glad he represented me. The day before he calls me up and breaks down the hearing process. He reviews everything with me and puts my mind at ease. He really stood up for me in that courtroom. I'm very pleased with his services. If I ever need another attorney I'll go with him and his Law Firm.

This Law Firm is awesome say represented me against the Employment Development Department and Won my appeal! Not only was I impressed with them, but the Administrative Law Judge was too. She was impressed with their knowledge and correspondence and literally gave them praise right after my appeal. I give them five Stars.

If I could 10 stars I would. Pershing is amazing. When I presented my case to them back in October their exact words were “It is a long shot to get EDD to dismiss your case, but we will try”. This issue I sought out for their help was about 9 years old. I thought all hope was lost and I would be stuck with an over-payment that I felt was done in error. I had been trying for about 6 years to figure it out myself. I sought out some legal help and the advice they gave me was “Well, looks like you will have to file bankruptcy”. I was almost ready to pull the trigger on that option, but I decided to do a google search for an EDD law firm, Pershing Law was one of the first ones on the top of the list. I decided to call them just to see what they could do. I talked with Charlie about my dilemma and he assured me that they have seen worse and that they would be able to help. They took it over from there and got all the information from EDD and constantly kept me informed of what was going on. When I received paperwork in the mail from EDD I would call them up and they would talk me off the ledge and say “It’s OK, this is what that means”. When I would panic, they wouldn’t. They were always easily reachable by phone and would call back if I left a message.
Since I work out of town, they arranged for my hearing to be by telephone which was convenient for me since I work full-time and out of town during the week. The night before the hearing, both Aasff and Charlie called me and walked me through the process of the hearing and helped me frame my thoughts and what I needed to say (100% truth….no lying), TAKE NOTES….PLEASE. The day of the hearing, Charlie called me about 20 mins before and walked me through what was going to take place and refresh my memory of the night before conversation. Then the trial started and it took about 20 mins. to read all the evidence into record and then the judge started asking me questions…….just like Pershing Law told me the judge was going too. I answered truthfully and with passion. The hearing lasted about 30 mins. and I was nervous the whole time….but knowing Charlie was on the line assured me that it would be OK.
Charlie told me before the hearing that “We are going to swing for the fences and see what happens”. I was just hoping to get the 30% reduced and then make payment arrangements to EDD for the rest of the amount I thought I owed. Pershing Law always always always was straight with me and never promised me any result other than telling me that they will probably be able to get the 30% interest waived.
I received a call from Pershing law 4 days after the hearing and they were in receipt of the decision. Their first words were “Keith, we not only hit a homerun, but a grand slam out of the park bases loaded bottom of the ninth tied ball game with 2 outs in game 7 of the world series”. Not only my 30% fees waived, what money that EDD said I owed (over $23,000) was waived. I had to ask them 2 or 3 times “I don’t owe anything….nothing, zip, zilch nada”. They said exactly and in fact they told me that EDD might owe me 5 weeks of pay….but if that doesn’t happen, I won’t complain. This has been the biggest rock on my shoulders for 9 years. I had many sleepless nights and there was a judgement on my credit report which would have prevent my wife and I from purchasing a house in the future…..not anymore.
Pershing is amazing. My advice…..listen to their advice and if you don’t understand something, ask them to explain in layman’s terms…..and they will. I will always recommend their services to anyone that asks

Perishing square law firm knows how to get you for your money never did they help me took my money and ran with it. They won't answer emails or phone call. Seriously if I didn't have to give them No stars I wouldn't they never keep you updated with you case.

Awesome experience all the way through beginning to end. I didn't realize how complicated an unemployment hearing could get, my file started small and grew to a big mess. Very grateful for pershing square. Remember you have to speak to a judge face to face and today law is filled with so much gobbledygook you can easily say the wrong thing.
My attorney Charlie really has a passion for what he does, he cares about clients, really understood my frustration( EDD are incompetent!) and helped coach me on how to handle things and understand the law in regards to UI. He called me days before to prep me, the morning of to prep me and they are even present via conference call during the actual hearing. I really dont know what would have happened without him.
Needless to say we got every item overturned!
If youre like me youre worried about spending money to hire a lawyer when you have no income and EDD denied you any hope...I get it...But to me what seemed like a small error from EDD became a large file for the judge, theyre crazy over there! If I didnt hire an attorney I wouldnt have even known!
As far as attorneys fees go they offered me more than a fair deal. I'm actually genuinely surprised at how affordable and flexible they are. Even more surprised that I feel I got MORE than my moneys worth. A rare group indeed.
Thank you pershing square, Thank you Charlie!

When I discovered that my former employer had fabricated complete lies about my conduct at work and attempted to slander my name and also succeeded in getting my rightful unemployment denied to me I was at a complete loss of what to do.
I called a number of lawyers who were all dismissive and/or told me I didn't have a case. I was starting to feel really disheartened and didn't think there would be a way out of this and that my former company would get away with all of these heinous untruths and lack of justice.

Then - Assaf called me back after leaving a message at his firm.
He was incredibly willing and open to speak to me and hear all of the particulars of the case completely. His energy was fantastic and he said we have a case!

Throughout the weeks leading up to the hearing he was always available and we spoke many times and he was always willing to give me an enormous amount of his time and energy.
He guided me through the entire process and helped me to see what was important and what wasn't in regards to the case.

On the day of the hearing we were prepared and ready and we laid out the entire truth of the whole situation to the judge.
A few days later we got the decision - we had won!

I honestly don't believe I would have made it without him because he was emotionally supportive and prevented me from giving up. His fee was reasonable and his willingness to work with my financial situation was admirable.
He was pretty much fantastic. He also helped me to keep all of my integrity and honesty and we won fair and square.

I would want him to help me in any legal matters whatsoever. He is a real honest guy and he changed my life with his counsel.

Everyone is wonderful and made the process easy and was informed

every step of the way

They helped me out when I didn't know what to do

Wouldnt reccomend this

Great lawyers! Got my unemployment appeal won!! Just know UNEMPLOYMENT TAKES FOREVER! So if you don't hear from your lawyer it's probably because they are waiting for unemployment to get there s#$t together.

EDD is understaffed, overwhelmed, and straight up doesn’t give a #%^* Hoards your money you WORKED FOR that god forbid you actually might NEED one day. They put me through the ringer 3 times in one year.. Couldn’t get anywhere without Assaf and Charlie. I didn’t even have to go to court. Spend your money here you’ll get it all back...Brilliant rockstar lawyers who were attentive, and really helped me. Thank you so much.

This firm was worth every dime spent. If you are dealing with an employer who has done you wrong, this is the team to go to. You will not find a more honest group of people who will fight for you and guide you every step of the way.

For anyone that is hesitant about hiring an attorney and appealing EDD on your own, I would say save yourself the stress and anxiety and let the attorneys deal with it. I am grateful to Araf for his guidance and support thru this ordeal. His supportive demeanor helped me overcome the anxiety I had going before the judge. It is definitely money well spent. I highly recommend Pershing Square Law.

I recently hired Pershing Square Law Firm and attorney Assaf Lichtash to help me with an EDD appeal case. I would not only highly recommend Pershing Square Law Firm to anyone who needs employee rights legal help but also say that Assaf is the attorney you want to represent you. He is very knowledgeable, creative, and an amazing strategist. From the preparation meeting all the way to the day of the hearing, Assaf and his team made a hard experience into an easy one. Pointless to say we won the appeal case. I can't thank enough Assaf and his team at the Pershing Square Law Firm.

Charley Is an awesome person, he's a very fast pace lawyer, I do recommend Pershing square law firm , I'm glad I made the call.

I would not recommend. Was informed one price and charged another. It's in the retainer. Good luck!

Great representation! I highly suggest anyone in need of support contact them. They were there every step of the way with me. I was kind of down some of the way but their team really helped me stay in good spirits and to receive what I knew and they knew I deserved. I am so grateful for their hard work and thankful I decided to make the call. No regrets... Thank you so much to Charlie for helping make it happen, and to Dafne for helping me take action and believe in myself to get the issue resolved.

Assaf and his team recently handled a case for me which i ended up winning. I highly recommend them. They are very professional and easy to work with. Assaf and his team are very pleasant which makes the frustrating experience of dealing with the state less stressful. I had two court appearances and Assaf was there before hand to go over my case. He is very knowledgeable and his opening and closing statements made me that much more confident in my case.

it started off okay they were working on my on getting my unemployment going for a second appeal after paying them another $400 and then they dropped the ball they told me they would give me back my money if they could not do the the second appeal they gave me a song and dance and how it was going to cost me more money.They will not return any of my emails or phone calls they basically ripped me off.Jackie started off so nice and making excuses how she has been out of the office and did not get my messages and now she won,t even return a email.I do not recommend this firm at all.

I had a good experience working with Assaf and his firm. They were pleasantly responsive and answered all my questions. Assaf and his team gave exceptional representation and I would definitely hire them again.

Best Employment Lawyers in Los Angeles.

I hired Assaf Lichtash to represent a dear friend of mine concerning a denial of claims from EDD. Assaf was very knowledgeable about all laws governing EDD claims and instructed my friend in great detail regarding the preparation for the upcoming appeal hearing. Needless to say, my friend was prepared, confident and stated the facts during the hearing. We received the good news a few days later, that the case was won on appeal! I highly recommend his services!

Amazing experience. The attorney was professional, knowledgeable and reassuring throughout the entire process, and I ended with a great result. Thanks to their help I was able to put this stressful chapter of my life behind me. If you're looking for a compassionate, effective, and strong lawyer I strongly recommend Assaf Lichtash.

Assaf Lichtash is one of the best attorneys I have ever had the pleasure of working with. Assaf always asks thorough and detailed questions, provides meaningful and helpful answers (explained both in a legal sense and common-sense way), and is always available to chat. I've hired Assaf a few times and I find him to be incredibly professional, relentlessly fighting for me with ethics, integrity and success. Most recently, I consulted with him about a complex dispute regarding interstate disputes over supplemental disability. Assaf and his entire office are always warm, welcoming and detail-oriented. I always feel like I'm Assaf's top priority when he works with me. You should most definitely hire Assaf. You truly won't regret it.

The worst experience I have ever had. The attorney that represented me was unprepared and unprofessional. I could have gotten better resaults myself. The guy guaranteed a win and was more than happy to take my money. When I was at the hearing for an EDD dispute, he represented me by phone and let the opposing side walk all over me. During his closing argument he stumbled over his words and had no idea what he was saying. Then after the hearing he called me and said he was confident. Then a letter arrived by mail that denied my benefits. Don't waste your money on attorney Ataaf Lichtash, he is a quack. You can do a better job yourself.
