Excellent

Assaf Lichtash did an amazing job with my court case. He always responded to any of my questions in a fast manner. He kept me informed and up to date with my court case. Also, the price for his service was very reasonable. I highly recommend Assaf to anyone who is having trouble with their court case....

Best Attorney for unpaid wages

I had been ripped off by my previous employers, and for a whole year, they refused to answer a demand letter sent to them by the first attorney. When I got to Mr. Assaf Lichtash, he was very welcoming and positive about getting me my unpaid wages. In a short time, he sent communication to the part...ies and aggressively pursued the case. They would use underhanded tactics like failing to reply in time, until he took them court. They finally agreed to settle out of court, and Mr. Lichtash successfully negotiated a reasonable settlement on my behalf. I am really grateful to him, his wonderful staff, and the professional manner in which he handled case. I highly recommend Mr. Assaf Lichtash to all those with unpaid wages claims. He is very knowledgeable and helpful.

Amazing

I actually decided to hire Assaf from reading the reviews off of Avvo and it was the best decision I could have made. I received a letter from EDD saying I owed them nearly $10,000 in overpayments stemming from 2003. I had no idea what to do or where to turn and in no way could I pay this back. I Wen...t on the internet to do some research and everything i read basically said I need to pay it back. I Was beside myself with stress and had no idea how I was going to pay this back. I Was lucky enough to come across Assaf and gave him a call to explain my situation. I Went into his office for a consultation and after I left, I was faced with the realization we would be fighting an uphill battle. Assaf, was honest, he explained everything to me, took his time, always answered my phone calls, emails and any questions I had. We finally got a court date, I was beyond stressed that day as I'm sure you can imagine! I was totally prepared due to Assaf's wonderful preparation strategy, so I go in and I'm sitting in front of the judge and be asks me questions that Assaf had already prepared me for and everything was smooth. The judge was a really nice guy ( i didn't expect that) everything was based on what I could remember because my case was over 13 years old ( I must have set a record for having such an old case) so we get done with the hearing and it wasn't nearly as stressful as I had imagined due to the fact that Assaf was with me through the whole thing, it was like he was on trial also. I received the verdict in the mail a few days later and was so nervous to open the letter! When I finally opened it (after a glass of water and my hands stopped shaking) I couldn't believe what I was reading! The judgment was reversed! I had actually won! I can't tell you the shock that I felt! My chin was on the floor! This nightmare was finally over and we had won!!!! I must say, if you are reading this becuse you or someoneyou know needs an EDD attorney for any reason do yourself a BIG and call this firm! The price was cheaper than I thought it would be, and Assaf is someone you want/need to fight for you! Take it from a guy who had an uphill fight like you wouldn't believe! I had a losing situation that was over 13 years old and somehow Assaf with his knowledge of the system managed to get me a verdict I didn't think was possible! Please call him! It Will be the best decision you make!

Amazing

I hired Assaf in January for my Edd denial because he was honest and straight to the point and quoted me a very reasonable price. I must say there's services we're great he won my case in March but thru the waiting period I would speak to Jackie she was wonderful very professional she always answer...ed my calls kept me updated Kinda felt like if she knew me for a long time. Amazing service Highly recommend.

Excellent Lawyer

Had the best experience with this lawyer as he completely walked me through and was there every step of the way as we appealed and EDD decision to deny unemployment, ask I pay back some already paid amount along with penalties. Not only was Assaf Lichtash very knowledgable, but most importantly was a...ble to win the case and get the denial completely reversed. I got my unemployment benefits back! Thankful to have found him!

What determines Avvo Rating?
  • Experience & background Years licensed, work experience, education
  • Legal community recognition Peer endorsements, associations, awards
  • Legal thought leadership Publications, speaking engagements
  • Discipline Disciplinary information may not be comprehensive, or updated. We recommend that you always check a lawyer's disciplinary status with their respective state bar association before hiring them.
