If you are overwhelmed and feel powerless – reach out to Daniel Feder.

I never appreciated how true those attorney’s commercials about needing someone to fight for you are - Until it happened to me. I know that sounds cliché, but standing up when you’ve been wronged is overwhelming. You quickly realize you need help - you need someone to stand up for you. If you fi...nd yourself in that position – I highly recommend Daniel Feder. He and his staff are wonderful. Daniel explained the entire system to me, taking the mystery out of it. Once things started - He communicated with me through entire process and fought hard for me. I would rather not have gone through this experience, but I’m so glad that I found Daniel Feder. His passion and determination to fight for the little guy is simply amazing. And as glad as I am to have this behind me, I will miss my conversations with him. If you are overwhelmed and feel powerless – reach out to Daniel Feder.

No transparency

I was a client of Daniel Feder. He was my lawyer in a retaliation wrongful termination case from 2011-2013. He and his associate Winter Hankins are terrible. First he is only concern with his 45 percent and his cost. During the early settlement hearing he stated recouping his fees as a reason the cas...e should be settled. He arrived 30 mins late to the hearing. I had to speak to the reasons the case should be settled. In an early settlement both parties writes statements which are given to one another. I was not permitted to read the defense letter. Mr. Feder stopped reading it placed his hands on top of it and started talking of his wine business. In addition I never was allowed to see any evidence against me nor documentation. I request several times and each was met with a no followed by some manipulative excuse as to why. I was never kept in the loop I knew nothing of my case. In two years not a single one of my phone calls were returned by Winter nor Daniel not ONE! One day near the end of the lawsuit Winter called me frantic speaking hastily at work and told me that they had just returned from court with a case very similar to mine in which they lost. If I would agree to go down they would agree to give me a certain amount. Basically I got a little more than a 1/3 of the settlement. When I tried to question Winter as to why I got so little she went off. She told me he had taken a hit on the case and each deposition was 3k. I asked for a receipt she rolled her eyes and stated that she would give me one. After pestering her she emailed one two days later. Eventually I opted for a fee dispute. The arbitrator could not believed I signed the agreement. They produced an entirely different receipt for the hearing and Daniel stated that it had been given to me and I did not ask him to divide the award in a better way. Apparently when a client is not satisfied with the fees they are supposed to be given a fee dispute notice or form. They never gave these documents to me. Nothing in this review has been exaggerated.

Dan Feder law firm review

Mr. Feder always made me feel so important and my case. I appreciated all he did for me and his office help. Whenever I emailed or called I received a return email or call either that day or the next. If you want a law firm that will fight your case Dan Feder is the man.

One of the Best Attorneys in SF

I contacted Dan when I was having problems with my employer, i.e. they were making it very difficult for me to transition to a new employment position, as well as, withholding my pay. When I contacted Dan, he was patient, considerate and compassionate to my stressful situation. He acted immediately... and I got the results that I wanted. He was able to negotiate a compromise with my previous employers as well as get me paid! Dan is a top-notch attorney - he cares about your situation and takes swift and aggressive action to get positive results. I will definitely use his services or recommend any of my friends or acquaintances to him if they have any employment-related issues.

The Everyman Attorney

I consulted him on a personal employment matter with a complex executive officer issue requiring highly confidential analysis and expertise - as I had over twelve supervisors in as many years. Should I be asked to list qualities about Daniel Feder and his team of professionals, and why I so heart...ily recommend you schedule a free consultation, these verbs and adjectives might better describe his approach: Perseverance – He will go that extra mile even if it means multiple, late nights researching similar cases in search of citations that will make arguments and briefs positively shine. Dedicated – He does not pander to potential customers as a typical plaintiff’s attorney just to get your business – in fact he would be the first to actually represent your case may not be ‘air-tight’. Studious – His legal briefs are not just boilerplate, recycled arguments; he constantly tries to improve his knowledge base, will represent your facts honestly and with utmost integrity. Relentless – He is not afraid of opposing counsel when he discovers inherent gaps or weaknesses in their responsive documents or obvious factual omissions on cross-examination. Invincible – An often understated quality, not necessarily a legal term; his confidence shines in everything he approaches, whether in filed pleadings or in front of a packed courtroom. Diplomatic – He knows when subtle, pertinent case facts predominate, then he must take alternate positions that wear down defense teams in the heat of the battle. Efficacious – After obtaining necessary undergraduate and law degrees from top-tier universities, his years of hard-work and perseverance, in a difficult and often misunderstood profession he truly embraces, demonstrate why this ‘everyman’ attorney will represent you effectively.
