When you feel like you're falling in a crevasse, and the bottom starts showing up clearly - meaning it’s your end - then you look up, and someone pulls you out: that was attorney Cyrus Mor for me. My case was so tough that I had nightmares. In addition to having to return a couple of thousand dol...lars - plus penalties - to the EDD, I was banned for over three years from collecting unemployment benefits. This harsh EDD determination made me feel like a criminal, although I knew it was a misunderstanding, on top of a law violation on the part of my former employer. So I hired Cyrus, and we appealed. Cyrus devised a genius legal strategy, and sifted through my facts and contentions, besides putting my emotions to rest. He came up with the best legal options based on fact, truth, and law, and we won my appeal. Cyrus turned an overwhelming context into a rational exercise followed by success. I want to thank Cyrus from the bottom of my heart for restoring my faith in the system. I would not have been able to do it without him. He is simply the best!

I couldn't have asked for a better attorney for my Unemployment Appeal Hearing! Cyrus is knowledgeable, genuine, and extremely talented at what he does. We had a phone consultation, and met up twice after that to re-hash details and do a rehearsal. Cyrus even spoke with the CUIAB on my behalf to corr...ect issues. Rehearsing the day before the hearing was his idea, and I'm so thankful that we did. Of course we won the case and I'm so glad to have had Cyrus on my side. He understood my situation instantly and came up with a game plan. I highly recommend him to anyone who needs representation for Unemployment Benefits. He is extraordinary!

Fired by a local school district in a way that had my unemployment benefits denied. The phone interview was very rude and hostile. I tried going to two unions, 3 attorneys, and 3 law firms before I realized that what I needed was an attorney who specializes in EDD appeals. Cyrus was knowledgeable,... honest, caring, and was also reasonably priced. Despite the cold shoulder I got from the district that fired me, the unions that could not help me because I'm not a member and the various lawyers because they don't specialize in administrative law, I actually had a very strong case and Cyrus went out of his way to tell me so. But I didn't want to take any chances of making a mistake that would blow away a strong case such as mine. I wanted the rehearsal and representation that a good lawyer could provide. At the rehearsal, I realized that my biggest weakness was my own nervousness. Cyrus helped me overcome this so that by the time of the hearing I was cool, calm and collected. I remembered everything I needed to say to the administrative law judge and presented my case with all the strong facts behind it. Naturally, we won. I don't recommend going to the Unemployment Insurance Appeals Board by yourself. Too much is at stake.

Cyrus Mor was my attorney for a recent hearing in which I was appealing a decision made by the EDD that identified me as ineligible for unemployment benefits. From the moment I spoke with Cyrus on the phone, I knew I had found the right lawyer. He asked me meaningful, insightful questions about ...the background of my case and he reassured me that not only were my concerns valid but that I was in fact deserving of benefits and he would be happy to help me prove so. So as soon as the appeal date was delivered, we spoke on the phone about the appeal process, what would go on at the hearing, and we discussed any documents that might help my case. Then, the day before the hearing, we met face to face to have a 'dress rehearsal' and go over the important points that we wanted to focus on and how we wanted the hearing to proceed. On the day of the hearing, we met 15 minutes before the start and went over again all the important things that we were going to discuss in the hearing and we sat for 15 minutes after the hearing so we could discuss how it went. And finally, once the case was decided upon, he called me right away to tell me the good news! Of course my letter was waiting for me in the mailbox when I got home, but it was so kind and thoughtful of him to call me personally to let me know how happy he was that we successfully reversed the EDD's decision to deny me unemployment benefits. Throughout this entire process I felt so comfortable and confident in my case, and that was all because of Cyrus. I know that he truly cared about me, my concerns, and the outcome and I truly enjoyed working with him. Thank you again Cyrus, it was a pleasure!
