Pershing Square Law Firm, PC
was founded in 2013. Our vision is to create a legal powerhouse for the working men and women of California who have issues with the Employment Development Department (EDD). For years, the EDD has failed millions of Californians by wrongfully denying unemployment or short-term disability benefits or levying unjustified overpayments and penalties.
For the most part, Californians are left to fend for themselves in a web of laws, rules, regulations and procedures they know little about. In many cases, self-help substantially reduces your chance of quickly and successfully resolving your case.
Our core conviction is that Californians should get the best possible chance at success when they challenge the EDD. Our firm is dedicated to developing expertise and skill in the laws, regulations and procedures of California’s benefits system.
To ensure all our clients get the highest chance of success we have developed a technology-driven system that is transparent, informative and collaborative. Our technology allows us to give each case the attention it needs to develop and execute the best strategy for it and win.
Most importantly, our system is designed to be accessible to almost anyone with a valid claim.
We will only take cases we believe have at least a fighting chance. Each case is individually assessed by an experienced attorney who recommends whether to take the case or not.
Collaboration is key to success. To build a winning strategy we need the client’s cooperation to understand the issues of the case and prepare evidence. Using our self-developed software we can maintain advanced collaboration with each client, increasing our ability to manage and prepare each case with excellence.
Collaborative work and expertise are the keys to winning a case. Thanks to our approach and unique technological tools, our firm maintains an exceptionally high success rate, winning the outstanding majority of the cases we handle.
Our law firm understands that hiring a lawyer can be challenging or even intimidating, but we are confident in our ability to help. That’s why we have created the Fee Guarantee.
Our Fee Guarantee is a promise to obtain relief in your case. This means that if we do not obtain any relief in your case, you will not have to pay our fee.
With the Fee Guarantee, you will have peace of mind that your attorneys are going to do their best to protect and promote your interests. You will know that any money you put towards the fee will be protected and fully reimbursed if we fail to obtain relief, providing you with:
The Fee Guarantee is offered to all clients, except for the following:
• EDD Tax Audit cases: Audit cases are cases we represent businesses that undergo an EDD audit for unpaid payroll taxes. The Fee Guarantee does not apply to such cases.
• Writ of Mandate cases: Writ of Mandate cases are cases in which our office appeals a denial by the Appeals Board to the Superior Court. These are often complicated and protracted cases. The Fee Guarantee does not apply to them.
• Cases deemed ‘high risk’: If an attorney deems a case as ‘high risk’ in the free consultation, we may either turn down the representation or offer representation under advisement that it is ‘high risk’. If the client chooses to proceed, we will not offer the Fee Guarantee.
