Employment - Would gladly recommend to anyone

Daniel Feder was a beacon of hope for me at the time when I needed it most. Thank you, Daniel, for being highly responsive and helping provide me with excellent legal advice which helped resolve my issue. I had contacted several attorneys who didn’t even take the time to call me back in an acceptable... time, he did. You were very generous with your time. I was able to tell he cared about me as a person and not just as a number. He took his time in our initial phone call and seemed to have a real passion for the clients he worked with. He was extremely knowledgeable about employment law. I am extremely grateful to you Daniel, and highly recommend you to any of my family, friends, professional acquaintances without reservation.

11 OUT OF 10!

My experience with Attorney Daniel Feder and his office staff was a pure pleasure, as well as professionally successful, from the first phone call to the culmination of my case. Besides being a top-notch, highly experienced attorney, Mr. Feder himself is one of the most personable people you could m...eet. He will make you feel comfortable and establish a sense of trust immediately. He makes it a point to be available to his clients, unlike so many attorneys these days who simply refer clients to a “representative” and rarely return a phone call themselves. If Mr. Feder himself is not available at a particular time, you will be in touch with one of the friendly, caring, highly professional office staff, most of whom have been with Mr. Feder and the firm for more than a decade. They are there to answer your questions, act as liaisons between you and Mr. Feder directly, and if they do not have your answers, will get them without delay from Mr. Feder, himself. He, or one of the staff, will return your call as immediately as possible; speaking with the staff is akin to speaking with Mr. Feder. No matter how busy they are on any given day at the firm, every client is the Most Important Client, and they will give you and your case their maximum attention, respect, and thoroughness in every way. Trust and communication are of the utmost importance, and that is exactly what you get here. I cannot say enough good things about this firm and the people here. They are simply The Best, and Mr. Feder’s track record of wins and successes speaks for itself. In my book, they rate 11 (eleven) stars out of 10 (ten). Most Sincerely, Cindy K.

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 BEST employment attorney I've known.

I don’t typically write reviews, but I have to say that Dan Feder is the BEST employment attorney I’ve known. He is extremely helpful, kind, knowledgeable, understanding (and not pretentious in any way). I have retained and consulted with Dan and he has given me excellent advice. I’m grateful for ...his services. I strongly recommend him to anyone who needs representation for an employment case.

Daniel Feder, one of the best Employment Law attorneys in the Bay Area

Daniel Feder, Esq. is one of the best employment attorneys in the San Francisco Bay Area. I have known Daniel for about a decade, and in that span of time, I have referred several friends and acquaintances to him. In every case, Daniel has demonstrated the highest level of competence, professionali...sm, integrity, and advocacy for his clients. He is one of the smartest, most compassionate and tenacious men I know. When he is on your side, you can rest assured that he will champion your cause and obtain the best legal and financial result possible. I have known Daniel to take on corporate giants who can afford to hire very expensive lawyers to represent the corporation. Like David slaying Goliath, Daniel has an inner confidence and intelligence where he can find a way to win for his clients, despite the seemingly overwhelming odds. Daniel's many years of employment law experience, his courage and confidence to take on giant corporations, his hardworking character and ability to adapt to any situation, all make Daniel Feder one of the best employment attorneys in the Bay Area. I wholeheartedly recommend him for your employment law case!

"I endorse this lawyer.I have known Daniel Feder for over 10 years and have had many opportunities to work together on Employment Law cases. From the very first case, I was very impressed with his in-depth knowledge of the intricacies and minutiae involved in employment law matters. I also appreciated how professional and efficient his staff has been in handling client communications and other matters. I have so much faith in Feder and his team that I have referred many cases to his office over the years. What amazes me most about Daniel Feder is that despite his years in practice and having faced ups and downs of motion and trial work, he is still a staunch believer in Employee Rights and is a zealous advocate for the clients with the energy commonly seen in new attorneys who have not been jaded with years of practice. Dan is a credit to the Plaintiff’s bar."
