Assaf Lichtash

I went threw an appeal with a preliminary hearing judge against the CEO and the superintendent of the company I was previously working for I know I wasn't in the wrong for applying for benefits so I figured now all I had to do was point out the obvious to the judge wich was " that I wasn't doing anyt...hing wrong and that my old boss's were full of sh!t ". Probably not the most appropriate way to express myself but after what I was put threw because this judge was blind or to lazy or maybe just didn't know how to do his job, cause he denied me on my appeal and ruled against me so then I did an appeal with the appeals board wich no party's from eighther side attend and three judges come to a decision and I also lost that cuz 2 out of the three judges ruled against me and I was taking it pretty hard with only one last and final decision that could be made by taking an appeal to the last level that is not easy and not to heard of and I most definitely couldn't have done it if I didn't decide to have Assaf file and complete my "petition Writ of Mandate" wich i basically a process that is not short but definitely do not regret thanks to Assaf and his ability to take a case like mine that had no need to be taken as far as it did had the first preliminary hearing judge made a wise and proper decision based on the facts of my case wich Assaf was able to understand after reviewing my case that he felt was worth taking it to superior court for a last and final decision that neither the E.D.D. nor I could appeal after the ruling of a superior court judge listening to why I chose the motion to petition wich Assaf was more than qualified educated and happy to explain that the laws applied by the E.D.D to me did not apply and were also applied with unesasary penalties and various inappropriate consequences. And after a long but worth it experience, Assaf told me he would do his best to present a strong case to show that my defense was not violating the law and after doing that for me on February 10, 2017, the judge reversed the E.D.D.'s decision I won the case and I will definitely be more than happy to go threw with any case if I can always have Assaf Lichtash representing me

Finding the right advocate made all the difference. It was not easy to do. The only firms in this field were in Southern California, but I was not. Desperately, I called them hoping for a referral. I was so relieved to find that Pershing Law Firm could help me, even long distance. Assaf Lichtash wa...s a blessing. His expertise in understanding the legal system and EDD law was what I needed. He was there to guide me through the confusing legalities of the EDD system. The filing was done expeditiously and a hearing arranged quickly. When I was a nervous wreck, he was a phone call or email away to reassure and comfort me. Not only does he know the law, but he is compassionate as well. Assaf and his assistant, Jackie, were very responsive. Assaf helped prepare me for the hearing and to clarify issues during the hearing. He summarized my defense clearly and effectively. I am so thankful to Assaf and his firm for winning my appeal. Words are not enough to express my gratitude.

I hired Assaf to help me with my unemployment hearing. I probably would have lost if Assaf did not ask the correct questions and correct distorted information given by the company who terminated my services. He quickly read the bogus evidence and recognized that the distorted company evidence actual...ly worked in my favor. This was brilliant by Assaf. Thank you Assaf for helping me win my appeal.

I contacted Mr. Lichtash for my unemployment hearing with only a few days to spare, and he immediately went into action. He procured documents and other data in order to quickly and efficiently build a case. He kept me calm by talking me through what to expect during the hearing in a very concise m...anner. His rates were fair and clearly communicated upfront, and I never once felt confused by the process. During the hearing he spoke for me, and asked all the correct questions. He made our case very clear and simple, and his closing statement was flawless. I would absolutely hire Mr. Lichtash again, and I recommend him wholeheartedly to anyone who needs a lawyer.
