Jacob Michael Wicks

My lawyer was outstanding — he guided me through every step of my unemployment appeal with clear communication and a solid action plan. He truly cared about my case and worked hard to make sure I got the benefits I deserved. I’m so grateful for his dedication and would highly recommend him to anyone ...facing a similar situation.

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!

I'm so glad I hired Jacob Wicks at WEBA to represent me in my unemployment case. He is very knowledgeable in this area and his attention to detail helped me feel better prepared for the hearing date. He also put the time and energy into meeting separately with my witness and creating a mock trial a f...ew days before the hearing, which left me feeling as prepared as possible on the day of the hearing. His style of communication is clear and well-organized, which aided in both my understanding of my case and clarity during the trial itself. There are several key elements of my case that I would have overlooked had I not hired Jacob, and I strongly recommend his services to those who are in similar positions.

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!

After finally getting the information about my overpayment hearing, I began to get even more nervous as my previous representation wasn't getting back in touch with me. I decided to hire Jacob after a free consultation and I am extremely satisfied with my decision. Mr. Wicks was extremely thorough a...nd helped me understand the complexities of the law and how it would apply to my case. He was readily available, answered all my questions, and helped me prep for the hearing which greatly boosted my confidence in a positive outcome (which we got)! I can't recommend him enough!
