Dan represented me against The UC Regents, During the settlement hearing he folded like a towel. He allowed the judge to insult me and insinuate that I was lying it was humiliating. My case went from being substantial basically down to nothing and the little that was set aside for me Dan took a large portion even though his share was already considerably larger. The Judge actually encouraged him to do so. The Judge and Dan let me know that justice is only for people of a certain race and that nobody on a jury would side with me. That was my experience. In retrospect I should have went with a larger firm.

Daniel Feder is a wonderful lawyer with tremendous integrity that brings results! I am so thankful to have found a lawyer that works hard in pursuit of justice for his clients!

I can't say enough good things about Dan! I was looking for an experienced employment attorney to review an employment contract with a start-up. I was in a unique position in that I was going to be a California based employee for a company based out of Europe with a satellite office in Georgia. I found the contract to be a bit confusing and wanted an expert opinion.

Dan's extensive experience as an employment attorney was evident in his initial assessment of the employment contract. It is clear he is very knowledgeable about different employee rights under various state labor laws. Even though there were specific clauses in the contract that he was as not familiar with (due to the governance under European law), he was able to highlight the implications of a specific term, offer sound advice on potential risks and thoughtfully walk through the benefits and drawbacks of possible responses I could counter with.

Not only is he incredibly responsive, he is very personable and engaging - I immediately felt comfortable with him. Although he had a heavy case load and was in court during the day, Dan was able to quickly turn around a red line of the employment contract and made himself available in the evenings to address any questions I had. He was very patient and spent as much time with me as I needed to answer all of my questions. I would highly recommend Dan to any of my friends or industry colleagues - he will be the first person I call if I ever need to retain the services of an employment attorney again.

Dan Feder picked up my case when I was at my lowest. After an exhaustive year at a startup, I reached out to Daniel Feder after realizing that the problems I'd been reporting to HR for months were actually a form of discrimination and retaliation. Mr. Feder fought for my case, telling me from the get-go that he firmly believed in what I was telling him, and he wanted to fight for me, right along side me. The case was long, painful, inflammatory, and exhausting. And step by step, Mr. Feder guided me through the thick of it. Always prepared, always enthusiastic, and always ready with a calm and steady smile, Mr. Feder made sure I was informed during every step of the process. He calmed my shaky nerves by filling in the legal gaps for me and made sure I was always prepped to the gills. I never had to go about anything alone during my legal proceedings, and after an exhaustive two years, Daniel Feder helped me pull through with an outcome far beyond my wildest dreams. To anyone looking for pristine representation, admirable leadership, and someone to always have in your corner, let me help you make your decision, State your case, and bring Daniel Feder to the team.

Daniel Feder did a fantastic job for my case. His commitment and professionalism is unmatched with any other attorneys. He is very reliable, punctual and consistent. I was pleasantly surprised how knowledgeable and proactive he was in every area of my case. His effective style of representation helped my case a lot. He negotiated everything I wanted. I was very happy with his amazing work and would strongly recommend him to anyone!

Daniel Feder is consummate employment attorney that you want on your side. I have known him for over 15 years and worked with him on a few occasions. He is always available for his clients and his staff are great. Brilliant legal mind, an aggressive litigator and always empathetic to his client's situation. Consider yourself lucky if he is sitting next to you and not across from you in a deposition.

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.

Daniel, and all of his office staff, were extremely positive and so easy to speak with...

Dan's firm handled a rather complex employment lawsuit for me that was recently resolved to my utter satisfaction. The achieved resolution was the result of Dan's insightful analysis of the complexities of the case at the outset, which resulted in a well-crafted strategy.

Early on, Dan involved his associate, Claire Cochran, who proved to be an excellent advocate, expertly implementing Dan's strategic framework while also countering the actions of opposing counsel deftly and effectively. This was a long case with a lot of rancor. Dan and Claire were phenomenally calm and professional, all the while keeping me informed and included in the process.

I had the opportunity to work with both Dan and Claire in depositions and found both to be excellent at their craft. Ultimately, my case went to mediation. Dan handled the mediation and I am convinced his experience and skills were instrumental in the favorable outcome of the mediation process and lawsuit.

I highly recommend the Law Offices of Daniel Feder.

I never appreciated how true those attorney’s commercials about needing someone to fight for you are - Until it happened to me. I know that sounds cliché, but standing up when you’ve been wronged is overwhelming. You quickly realize you need help - you need someone to stand up for you. If you find yourself in that position – I highly recommend Daniel Feder. He and his staff are wonderful.

Daniel explained the entire system to me, taking the mystery out of it. Once things started - He communicated with me through entire process and fought hard for me. I would rather not have gone through this experience, but I’m so glad that I found Daniel Feder. His passion and determination to fight for the little guy is simply amazing. And as glad as I am to have this behind me, I will miss my conversations with him.

If you are overwhelmed and feel powerless – reach out to Daniel Feder.

Attorney Feder and his professional team made me feel worlds better about my horrible workplace experience. He knows his stuff and will provide you with the honest feedback you need most to move forward. Thanks, Attorney Feder. I'm still frustrated and annoyed, just not nearly as much as I was before I spoke with you.

Dan is successful and well-respected because he always does what he says that he will do. He is very articulate and intelligent, which ensures his effectiveness. Without any reservations, I highly recommend Dan.

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.

I was referred to The Law Offices of Daniel Feder by my father. I wasn't sure if I had a case and just wanted a lawyer to hear what happened and give me their opinion. I called Daniel Feder's law office and scheduled a consultation. I met with Dan and Winter. They were both utter professionals, listened to my grievance and gave me their honest opinions. They assured me I had a case, answered my questions, went over what happens next once they take the case and worked diligently throughout.
There were many times during my case that I was uncomfortable or felt bullied by the opposing side and it was in those times that Dan and Winter were in my corner giving me support and strength. Winter was always there to answer my questions and was very detail oriented. Dan on the other hand, was very knowledgeable, very kind and has a very gentle way about him. They met with me on many occasions to go over my case, update me on the status and always made sure to return my calls.
It was such a relief when my case was over but I was honestly sad to know I wasn't going to see Dan or Winter anymore. They had become my friends after all the time we spent together. I will never forget their kindness, compassion and professionalism and would highly recommend their services to anyone looking for representation regarding employment law and discrimination.
Thanks again Dan and Winter for all your help, support, knowledge and expertise. You both were amazing!

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 is a colleague whom I have been fortunate to know both personally and professionally for twenty years. Although ten years have elapsed since I directly supported his legal practice as a paralegal, I still recommend him to friends and business acquaintances without any hesitation for consultations when there are complex legal employee and commercial issues requiring highly confidential analysis and expertise.

Dan possesses a highly technical mindset with strong business acumen, focused on results, and is an excellent team builder. His casual demeanor belies his experience partnering with multiple business perspectives and technical stakeholders, working with a cross-functional approach in a dynamic environment, and delivering legal briefs on-time and on-budget.

He is a tireless advocate for the disenfranchised with a keen sense of humor. His interactions with those around him make one feel important and valued, with meaningful, often profound and thought provoking analysis of your case and a realistic likelihood of a successful outcome. He does not pander to potential customers as a typical plaintiff’s attorney just to get your business – in fact he would be the first to actually represent your case may not be as strong as one might surmise. He is compassionate, generous, and shares his zest for life and knowledge with others without any agenda or preconceived notion. In essence Daniel is the epitome of what the “everyman” attorney should be. I heartily recommend Daniel in every sense of the word.

Daniel is a very honest, trustworthy and professional attorney. His experience and knowledge of the law is unmatched. He is 100% committed to every client and every case.
I would recommend Daniel without hesitation to anyone in need of a lawyer. He never stops fighting for his clients. It is a true pleasure to work with Daniel and his staff.

Daniel Feder could practice employment law in his sleep.

Thankfully he doesn't and he takes careful time with his clients to listen to their claims and explain the strengths and weaknesses in their cases while providing an empathetic ear.

His skill in this field is enough to set him apart, but his kindness and confidence truly set him a step above the rest.

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, professionalism, 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!

Daniel is an incredibly intelligent lawyer. He is not afraid to go to the mat for his clients, and I am utterly confident that he will do a fantastic job for anyone that retains him to assist them with a dispute.

Dan represented me after I was wrongfully discharged from my long-term job because I took a protected leave to care for my ill mother. The employer violated my rights to take medical leave under the California Family Rights Act. The defendants played hardball, and tried to intimidate us. Daniel was not deterred at all. He stood up to them at every stage. By the end of the case, the employer and its attorneys were the ones who were intimidated. They feared Daniel and paid dearly to settle my claims. Daniel is a top-notch plaintiff's employment attorney who represents employees in San Francisco, Alameda, San Jose, Marin, Contra Costa and San Mateo. Soon after I retained Daniel, I watched him at a boxing competition at the Third Street Gym in San Francisco. Dan was one of the heavy weights, and came out toward the end of the competition to fight a frighteningly larger opponent. Suddenly, I began to see this match as a metaphor for what I was up against in my employment discrimination lawsuit against a formidable team of corporate lawyers. Suffice it to say, Dan KNOCKED 'EM OUT IN THE FIRST ROUND and that is exactly the kind of David and Goliath situation one finds oneself in when standing up to abusive employers. Dan is definitely the employment attorney who can outsmart, outfox, and knock out the competition, no matter how formidable they might appear, who can give you the strength to keep fighting when you are scared and may think there is nothing left to live for. He works hard, is patient, and does not give up. He listens to you, respects you, and makes you believe in yourself again. I would very highly and without any qualification recommend him to any employee seeking representation against a former employer in a discrimination, harassment, wage and hour, or leave case.

Dan is a smart, experienced and trustworthy litigator. He diligently pursues the cases and delivers the best result for his clients, particularly those are wrongly treated by large companies.

I admire Dan’s determination and commitment to seek justice for his clients. His unparalleled knowledge and experience make him the best attorney anyone needing assistance in employment law or personal injury areas.

I would refer Dan without hesitation.

I have known attorney Daniel Feder for several years now. I have referred several friends to Daniel now, as I know they will be in good hands. Daniel is a very intelligent, dedicated an knowledgeable attorney. He really gets to know his clients and cares about them. He is very compassionate in his approach to clients. Daniel is a very likable person, but he can also be really tough and aggressive when needed He's very well known as the top employment attorney in San Francisco. He's an expert in this area of the law. I've been informed that business owners really respect him and that their respect for him factors into their analysis of cases. I would recommend Daniel to any of my clients or friends who have issues with their employers and think they might have a case. Daniel is an excellent attorney!

Dan is an excellent litigator. He passionately advocates for each of his clients. He won't settle a case for anything less than top dollar. Dan has a unique approach to law and litigation. His expertise in employment law is expansive. I was recently in trial with Dan, and his courtroom skills are impressive. His courtroom demeanor is effective with the jury, judge and in the questioning of witnesses. He is well-prepared and confident. I highly recommend him and refer clients to him regularly without reservation.

Mr. Feder is an outstanding lawyer. People say the only good lawyer is your lawyer. I disagree. I would respect Mr. Feder from either side of the argument. Mr. Feder is an aggressive lawyer who will work hard for his client. But he balances his aggressive nature with respect for people on all sides of the argument.

This is demonstrated as Mr. Feder works to help his client achieve success, but also actively works to tone down tempers and give good suggestions about being a reasonable person. By the time you need a lawyer to get involved in a dispute, your temper will be hot and your words will be sharp. This lawyer knows how to soften your weapons and use his own in a way unlike a butcher, and more like a surgeon.

If you want a man who will champion your cause, Dan is the man.
