Before all else, let me share briefly how I sought Pershing Square Law Firm out on a huge tapestry of the southern California legal community consisting of thousands of law firms. I received the Notice of Hearing from the Appeal Court that notified me of a hearing on my Appeal against EDD's denial of my PUA benefit at the end of April. The hearing was calendared in barely two weeks from its issuing date. In spite of my meager knowledge about the court proceedings I somehow realized that this was the juncture where I had to throw in not only lots of hours working on an Appeal brief (which I had already done and submitted) but also the real money for a legal expert to argue for me before the judge at the hearing. It took me about two dozens of phone calls plus a few emails and more than one week before I was able to find the right attorney. Of the law firms I contacted, roughly 80% declined on the grounds that either they did not handle Administrative Court cases or my case was too small for them. Of the remaining 20%, two lawyers advised me sympathetically to get ready for a loss and what I should do if that happened. Another couple of them I did not feel comfortable with and the remaining ones never returned my messages. Except for Pershing Square, who responded my inquiries positively, emerging on my horizon right when I was on the verge of giving up on a legal counsel. Looking back now, I should say my encounter with Pershing Square and its leading Attorney Mr. Assaf Lichtash is a straight shot of luck. In less than an hour at our first meeting, Atty. Lichtash diagnosed a crucial issue in my case that had until then been never noticed let alone addressed by myself because I did not have that sense that this was an answer the court was looking for. For removing the issue, the Attorney drafted up an affidavit in about ten minutes and instructed me to go back and have it signed by my employer so that some particulars in my employment would be clarified. I obtained the signed copy the soonest possible which was added to my existing set of attachments. Later this letter of affidavit turned out to be a decisive factor in the judge’s ruling of my case. By this time I had merely two days left before the hearing. The next episode that stunned me also occurred at the end of the hearing. No sooner had Atty Lichtash hung up his phone at this Telephonic Hearing than he announced that it was a winner and he was confident about it. I, however, was too dumbfounded at the time to utter even a “thank you.” Deep down I couldn’t help but wonder, how in the world can the Attorney come at this conclusion, when I haven’t heard any words, expressions, or even any change of the judge’s monotonic tone that has indicated her intension for the ruling, for better or for worse? Time proved the accuracy of the Attorney’s foretelling. The second large envelope I received from the Appeal Court notified me of its decision. The court ruled in my favor; the Notice of Determination was reversed. The affidavit submitted the last minute was the first to be cited by the judge in her decision. Talk about the feats and stunts of an accomplished professional. When the coast was surely clear, I emailed Atty Lichtash a Thank-You Note that expressed the following: “Now in retrospection it proves all worth it. Your authoritative guidance, surgical precision, and your long-acquired professional patience and efficiency are all the key elements or weapons if you may in winning this combat for me.” “The event,” I concluded at the end, “is for sure to become a surviving memory for the years to come.” When you have a physical problem, you go to a doctor. And you go to a good one because percentagewise, the good one will save your life. Likewise, when you have a legal problem, you go to a lawyer. Again you go to a good one because the good lawyer is able to disperse the gloom hanging above you and restore that sea blue over your head, making your life worth even more to live for.

Don't hesitate to use Pershing Square Law to assist you with your EDD case. They are efficient, well organized and with their guidance we were successful.

Best law firm ever

The fine folks over at Pershing Law Firm were a pleasure to work with. Their proprietary app ensured that we were on the same page and made uploading docs super easy. My attorney Charlie did a wonderful job with my case and I would 100% recommend Pershing Law Firm, and I have! Thanks for the help!

Amazing. They got my benefits approved. Could not be more pleased.

I received a notice of determination in December 2021 and thought I was screwed then I saw Ginny Silver's YouTube video with Mr.Assaf and thought this is the guy who can help me win my appeal! I just had my appeal today and I couldn't have been more prepared thanks to Mr.Assaf and his staff! Regardless of the outcome I feel I presented the best possiblity of not having to payback my benefits! If your considering hiring a lawyer don't hesitate and give Pershing Square Law Firm a call today! Worth every cent!

Best experience with an attorney in a long time. Best thing an attorney can do is ease his clients mind and prepare them and Assaf did just that. Worth the peace of mind. Highly recommend Pershing Square.

I retained this law firm in December of 2021 as I had received a letter from EDD for ineligibility of benefits for quitting my former employer during the covid pandemic. On the first call I made to the law firm they made me feel at ease as they guided me through the process. Miguel was assigned to my case and he called me to go over details to prep for my hearing. He also took time to speak with me the day of the hearing and assured me I had a strong case. After several days from the hearing Miguel called me to inform me I had won my appeal. I’m thankful I made the right choice hiring this law firm. Miguel definitely fought for me during my hearing!

To anyone who is stressing out about their EDD appeal and determination. Pershing Square Law Firm has helped me out of the situation and prevented me from a large amount of overpayment. Briefly, about my case, I was affected by the pandemic and filed for EDD. After a year or so, they determined I was not qualified for the benefits and that I give a faulse statement to receive the money. I reached out to PSL since I have no idea about appealing and where to start. The whole process was waiting and once the firm have some update and appeal will happening soon. Miguel Gonzalez was representing me, prepared me with list of questions so I can feel more confident in front of the judge. He know what matter and what is a good reason therefore we won the case! I would say if the firm choose to take your case then you are in good hand and they are confident to help you! Can't say how much I appreciate the help from Miguel and his team!
