Hans is an amazing employment lawyer and a lifesaver – I am SO glad I found him to represent my unemployment insurance case. Hans focuses on employment problems such as discrimination, harassment, etc. Because of his representation, I was granted EDD benefits after my appeal. I quit my job due to... extreme exploitation, stress and anxiety, and was denied for unemployment insurance benefits since I left my job voluntarily. The last thing I needed was dealing with the EDD appeal on my own, especially during this particularly vulnerable time in my life. Luckily I found Hans. I was on an extremely tight deadline (less than one week until the appeal letter was due). Hans made time to meet with me (albeit the tight deadline), put together and submitted an amazing letter that perfectly summed up my situation and focused only on the important aspects of the case - during the appeal, the judge even commented on how impressed he was with the letter. Hans was available to answer all of my questions and concerns, was extremely polite, professional and compassionate. I highly recommend hiring Hans if you are faced with an EDD appeal. Losing / quitting your job is stressful enough on its own without having to deal with figuring out the logistics of a confusing appeal. I, personally, would have been completely lost without his help.
