Pershing Square Law Firm, PC

Words can't express how grateful I am for Charlie at Pershing! I've been dealing with a very stressful EDD appeal for quite some time and considering I was up against $16k in collections with EDD - I figured it was worth hiring someone to help me navigate the situation. I received my verdict today and instead of having to pay back thousands of dollars, only $1,800 is due to EDD and I get to move on with my life! This was my first time in this type of situation, and first time having to hire an attorney and i'm glad I did. I can say with 100% confidence that I received the outcome I did because of Charlie. Outside of Charlie, the office has always been responsive to my emails asking for updates which I also really appreciated. Thank you Pershing Square Law Firm!!<3

⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ I had a great experience with Rastegar Law Group. The team was professional, knowledgeable, and attentive throughout the process. They communicated clearly, answered questions, and made sure I felt informed every step of the way. Their dedication, responsiveness, and commitment to providing quality service really stood out. I would highly recommend Rastegar Law Group to anyone looking for a professional and reliable legal team!

I was very happy with my experience with Pershing Square Law Center and I highly recommend them! From start to finish, the experience has been excellent. I’m writing this review before receiving the judgment for my EDD appeal case, but I already feel incredibly grateful for my lawyer Charlie’s representation. I know without a doubt that I would have had no chance without him. I was able to speak with Charlie three times before the hearing, and he called me immediately afterward to go over everything. You can tell he is passionate about his work, genuinely a good human being with a good heart and a deep aptitude for what he does. When I first called Pershing Square Law Center, I was assisted right away, and they made it clear that I would be represented on contingency and that I would be not charged a fee directly. The intake process was friendly, concise, and included a brief conversation with the attorney. The intake staff member who handled my call was cordial, clear, and very helpful in completing intake documents. After the intake, I was pleasantly surprised and truly impressed by the responsiveness of the entire team, especially from Alison and Genecis. Every email and voicemail I sent with questions before my EDD hearing was answered clearly and professionally, usually within 24 hours and never later than 48. A unique aspect of my case is that it involved an overpayment appeal rather than a denial of benefits. This meant the potential contingency payout for Pershing Square Law Center was very small. Despite that, the team remained consistently responsive, and at no point did I feel that Charlie and the staff at Pershing Square Law Center treated my case as less important than a case with a larger potential for a payout. While writing this, I noticed some negative reviews. I can only speculate that those may come from people with highly emotional expectations of being guaranteed a big payday. My experience has been nothing but excellent, ethical, and professional from beginning to end. I Thank you, Pershing Square Law Center!

The absolute worst experience ever!! They knew as my case had been filed late, they would have my appeal dismissed, yet they lied & told me I had a good case. They also filed the paperwork incorrectly to by themselves more time for me to make more payments to them, the payments they said I could be refunded if I lost my case, which we did lose.. then pershing square tells me that there will be no refund because of the appeal filed was too late.. which they knew would occur.. pershing square is a bunch of snakes, & crooks!! They told me they would help me, but instead all they did was steal from me, & waste my time. I wish you all the absolute worst!! May every unfortunate event occur to you, & i hope you all suffer!! Save your money, don't utilize their "services"

I would strongly caution anyone considering this firm for an EDD appeal. I paid $1,250 for representation and genuinely do not know what I paid for. Almost a month before my hearing, I called with questions and specifically asked to speak with my attorney. I was told I could not speak with him and would have to wait until my prep meeting. My scheduled prep meeting the day before my hearing never happened. The attorney later apologized and told me it was 100% the firm's mistake because he thought I was a client who had not paid. My actual preparation happened immediately before the hearing. A week before the hearing, I had uploaded my complete work history, which was critical evidence in my case. It was never submitted to the judge. During the hearing, the judge was surprised to learn that I had provided it and gave us 24 hours to get it submitted. During the hearing, I did not feel that my attorney was familiar with my case or my evidence. There were issues raised by the judge that he appeared unaware of, and at one point I was so uncomfortable and unsure of what was happening that I actually had to ask, "Are you there?" After losing, I contacted the firm about a second-level appeal and raised serious concerns about how my case had been handled. The attorney's subsequent voicemail essentially explained that the judge had made her decision and that was "basically it," without explaining what argument or strategy he intended to pursue on appeal. I hired an attorney because I needed someone to know my case, understand my evidence and advocate for me. That was not my experience with this firm. I have documentation of everything stated in this review.
