Excellent Service

I called and spoke directly to Jacob which makes his experience very personable and exactly what I was looking for. We had a discussion about my case prior to even scheduling a consultation at no cost. Guidance was provided as well as clarity. Very knowledgeable on all unemployment and employment mat...ters. Highly recommended for reliability and fast service as well.

HIGHLY RECOMMENDED!!!!!

Professionalism personified. His communication throughout the entire process is what allowed the case to go in the direction in which it did. He really went above and beyond. Typically in an unemployment case the burden of proof rest solely on the employer to prove misconduct.. With his assistance w...e were able to prove, not only wasn't there any misconduct but a policy had not been violated. This case for me was more then just monetary gain. He got me my NAME back. Which I will always be eternally grateful. *"Accordingly, I find that the claimant did not violate the employer's cash register policy, did not violate the employer's policy regarding misuse of an employee, and the claimant did not violate the employer's policy on falsifying company documents and was separated from his employment under non disqualifying circumstances."*

Thank you for working on Sunday!

I contacted Jacob Korder on Sunday and he got back to me quickly with advice how to fight this bureaucratic machine of Labor Department. Appreciated of being honest about my case. So anyone who is dealing with unemployment benefits overpayment, this is the man to contact. He will put you on a rig...ht path. Thank you very much!

Very professional, prompt, kind and he listens

Mr. Korder handled an unemployment case for me. He was most helpful, he listened and clearly explained things to me. He handled things very professional. He responded to my emails and questions promptly. He made the process much easier and less stressful. With his expertise the case was ruled in my f...avor. I am glad to have worked with Mr. Korder and would definitely recommend him.

Professional and Effective

Mr. Korder was hired to represent me in a hearing regarding the termination of my unemployment insurance by NYS DOL. On first communication Mr. Korder was open and honest about his policies and his decision making when determining to take the case. He spent plenty of time with me preparing for th...e tele-hearing, informing me and compiling what documents may be useful to my case, and walked me through step by step how the hearing would work. Because of his thorough research of previous cases and the time he spent with me, my ruling was reversed and I was able to receive all backpay of unemployment as well as continuing claims. Mr. Korder turned a nightmare scenario into a huge win and made the entire hearing process incredibly easy.
