You want this man in your corner

I highly recommend working with Jacob Korder. He's a great listener and a true professional. He was able to explain and break down the details of my case in a simple and thorough way. On the day of the hearing his preparation was clear and supportive which helped me stay calm and focused. I'm very gr...ateful to have found him.

Excellent Lawyer 5 Stars is not enough

Highly satisfied with my experience. Mr Korder is what one expects from a lawyer, Professional and thoughtful. Mr Korder took the time to listen and understand my unique situation and help me win the case against my employer. Most importantly Mr Korder response fast to emails and phone massages which... made me feel that he really does care about his clients. I highly recommend Mr Korder.

Sharp diligent honest compassionate professional

I was treated with compassion and respect from the time I spoke with Mr. Korder on the phone during the consultation until our debrief after the hearing. He was punctual, sharp, and got the job done without making false promises. The best thing about winning my case was getting my self-esteem back af...ter dealing with months of abuse from my employer. I will recommend Mr. Korder to all family and friends.

He Did an Amazing Job, Glad He Was My Lawyer or Else I Probably Would Have Lost the Case

Jacob Korder helped me to receive unemployment benefits. They'd been denied because I was terminated from a job because of an outburst I had on the floor with a former employee. because of an outburst on the floor at a former employee. To make a long story short, he told me why the former employer... was in the wrong, and how I should frame my argument. I did what he said that I should, and he was basically able to disprove the reasoning behind the unemployment benefits being denied. I'd made a mistake in being fired in the first place, but I remember him saying that he'd take the case because sometimes people do make mistakes, but that I had the right to get unemployment benefits still. I'm glad that he was my lawyer because other lawyers didn't want to take my case. I felt like a person, actually, instead of a number in the system. Having him as my lawyer actually humanized the process. I'm sure I would have lost otherwise because my employer was pretty convincing, and was really confident that I should be denied unemployment benefits. But that wasn't the case because I won the case, basically because I had the right lawyer, Mr. Korder.
