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.

One of the best decisions I ever made was hiring Jacob Wicks at WEBA to represent me in my Unemployment Insurance benefits appeal hearing. The DES had denied me UI benefits saying I didn’t have “good cause” to quit. But once he heard the facts related to my case, Jacob Wicks crafted a nuanced, eloque...nt defense. And we won. Jacob listened carefully, explained all the steps and processes, and was always present and patient. I have nothing but high praise for Jacob Wicks and WEBA and enthusiastically recommend them.

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.
