Jacob Michael Wicks

I chose Jacob Wicks' law firm to help me appeal a WA State ESD decision regarding unemployment benefits. Jacob was an expert in unemployment benefits cases involving Performance Improvement Plans (PIPs). He knew exactly how to construct a strong case and we won in the end. Anyone who has departed a S...eattle big tech company due to a PIP would 100% benefit from Jacob's representation.

Jacob Wicks was indispensable with helping me resolve an overpayment issue with the Employment Security Dept. He constructed a clear and effective Pandemic Era Overpayment Waiver Form that saved me having to repay what I collected while I was on unemployment during the pandemic. Jacob spent the time ...to listen and understand my issue and to make sure I was given the best opportunity to win my case. He has an excellent grasp of law and is eager to educate himself to be as effective as possible. Jacob is professional and trustworthy and I couldn't recommend him more.

I highly recommend working with WEBA. Jacob Wicks at WEBA represented me in an appeal where my former employer also hired a lawyer to represent them. Jacob made the entire process feel effortless. I was trying to prepare to represent myself for weeks before, and now wish I had hired Jacob from the be...ginning. His expertise in this field was evident from the first moments of our free consultation. He knew all the details of what the judges are looking for and what not to bother with. I felt all my stress melt away, knowing that he was handling the case. He met separately with my witness to prepare her, he and his partner had a mock case with me, and he had several follow up calls with me to make sure all the details were clear. I felt 110% prepared and confident going into the hearing. At the hearing, my former employer's lawyer seemed pushy and desperate. Their lawyer's cross examination of me and my witness was typical of the pushy, leading question, bully lawyer you see so often in the media. Jacob was the opposite. He was the utmost professional. He exuded confidence, he seemed to know exactly what to say, and did so with elegance. He even treated the employer's witnesses with clear, respectful questioning that thoroughly proved our point. We won the appeal, and I got my full benefits! He is clear, focused, detail oriented and brilliant. I cannot recommend Jacob Wicks enough!

Jacob was the silver lining to my unemployment benefits denial. Excellent communication skills, easy to contact, and humbly professional. Nobody else would take my case, saying my type of case always loses… enter Jacob! He knows the law, what the judge would be looking for, and what angle to pursu...e. We won!!!! Much kudos and appreciation for Attorney Wicks! He put in the time and it showed! Cannot thank him enough!
