I've never consulted a lawyer and was stressed to do so. Thoughtful, caring, kind, and quick to respond, Jeffrey resolved my concerns with one phone call. Thank you Jeffrey for your professional expertise regarding my case! read more

Jeff was fantastic in advising us during a potential lawsuit. He has a lot of quality experience in supporting both employees and employers, for companies of all sizes. He charges a fair rate and was very transparent about fees, something that's not common for most lawyers to be open about. Moreover, Jeff was very open to sharing information to give us more confidence in our case. We were able to get aligned on goals. I highly recommend going with Jeff whether you're an employee or employer if you're looking for an employment lawyer. read more

Jeffrey is great. We sat down and discussed an issue with my former employer. You could see the wheels spinning throughout the conversation. He was able to quickly resolve the issue. Professional and attentive to clients needs. read more

Jeff is an incredible attorney and extremely knowledgable about labor laws. I contacted him after being laid off since my situation with my previous employer seemed like it could potentially be a bit out of the ordinary so I wanted to know more about my rights. My previous employer had made some requests that I found out via Jeff to be legally difficult to enforce. He was able to quickly cite specific laws that prohibit my employer from making such requests. He did a great job of setting my expectations for what was possible and letting me know what may or may not happen. I appreciated that he got on a call to answer my questions promptly even while out of town and his advice was much appreciated. read more

He was quick to respond even when he was on vacation. But he was also quick to decline even talking to me to discuss the case. Perhaps, it was not a lucrative or big case for him to even bother talking to me. The stars are at least he responded, and I like his profile. read more

Attorney Jeff Curtiss is incredible. The moment I spoke with him, I knew I could stop my lawyer search. Jeff's knowledge and expertise played an indispensable role in my decision-making process. What I found most helpful was his directness and that he provided actual specifics from his experience. I also appreciated how well-spoken, confident, down-to-earth, logical, and sincere he was. I felt certain that he would be able defend me. The things my last employer put me through caused me immeasurable amounts of grief, stress, and confusion (to say the least), but Jeff was so understanding and made me feel validated with his honesty and realism. He was patient and explained things in an understandable way, using examples and comparisons. It sometimes felt as though I was speaking with a trusted friend. He also was very attentive and directly responded to follow-up questions even after our initial consultation. He did not push me to go to court, but gave me options, essential information, and the choice to decide how to proceed. I decided to first try the less intimidating (but still not fun) route of negotiating on my own with the employer. Jeff's well-written demand letter allowed me to properly defend myself and resulted in my receiving an improved offer. Even though I could have gone through with a lawsuit and potentially gained more, I ultimately decided to stop there. I could not have felt comfortable coming to that decision without Jeff's vital support. Paying for a consultation and demand letter was well worth it, and I am so glad I found Jeff. If I have employment issues in the future (lol hopefully I don't), I would absolutely reach out to him again. I'd also recommend him to others as well. Thank you again, Jeff! read more

I was referred to Jeffrey after being laid off, and didn't want to sign any of the documents prior to speaking with an attorney. Jeffrey acknowledged my inquiry promptly, even though he was on vacation! He is kind, thoughtful, and compassionate. He did a very thorough review of my documents, and further communications I received from my previous employer. At the end of the day, he offered transparent great advice for me to navigate the separation process. If you are ever in need of honest clear employment law advice, I highly recommend reaching out to Jeffrey. read more

Jeffrey was prompt with follow up when I initially reached out for a consult. He helped me better gauge the situation I was in and wasn't trying to get me to pay for a consult if I didn't need it. Ultimately I didn't need to pay for the consult, but I still appreciate him listening and helping me confirm my judgement on the situation as well! read more

I think I interviewed 8 different attorneys to help with a situation I was facing, and finally decided to hire Jeffrey Curtiss. It was quite honestly one of the best decisions I made in 2019. He's like an employment law ninja - he is incredibly logical and clearly knows the law inside out, but at the same time is able to think creatively to come up with ways to reach the best resolution for you. He is always calm and levelheaded when talking to clients, but tough as nails when he's representing you. I only wish I could hire Jeffrey for all the legal help I would ever need. All I can do is send him any referrals I can, and write this long overdue Yelp review. If you're not sure - just hire him and you'll see after 1 meeting why he's the one you want on your side. read more

I chose Jeff based on all the very specific and positive reviews here on yelp--and had a similarly fantastic experience working with him. I found Jeff to be extremely knowledgeable, articulate, and attentive. He was easy to reach each time I attempted to contact him and was very prompt in his replies. His front office staff was also excellent to deal with. I felt he listened carefully to all my concerns and took the time to address them completely. I'm very pleased with how our conversations went and am walking away feeling empowered and educated--not to mention at ease with going forward. I would recommend him unconditionally to anyone looking for an approachable, warm, and considerate lawyer who really knows his legal "stuff" and can explain it clearly to someone who doesn't. Thanks, Jeff. read more

When I needed an employment lawyer, I searched in Yelp, called 3 lawyers, and chose Atty Jeffrey Curtiss. Below is how I would rate my interactions with him. Please note that I am in the auditing field so I am usually a tough grader. Atty Curtiss surpassed my expectations in the various categories I used to evaluate my experience with him. Education: A+ Before I first called him, I looked up his background and found out that he graduated from UCLA and UC Berkeley. Per the US News and World Report, these schools are in the Top 25 National Universities in the United States, in the company of the prestigious ivy-leagued schools. Among national public universities, UCLA and UCB are tied for #1 spot in the entire country. Helpfulness: A+ Atty Curtiss gave me very helpful pointers to steer me to the best path when dealing with a huge company. I appreciated that he tailored his explanations to my level of knowledge. On topics that I have little exposure, he patiently explained the concepts and mentioned the specific legal reference which enabled me to read more about that topic after our conversation. On topics where I have some knowledge, he moved faster when covering those topics so we can be efficient with our time. He was very articulate and knowledgeable! Responsiveness & Availability: A+ Atty Curtiss was quick to respond to phone calls and emails. And I liked the fact that I talked directly with him instead of paralegals or assistants, even during the intake phase. Summary: I highly recommend Atty Curtiss as an employment lawyer. read more

We hired Jeffrey M Curtiss to help us put together a service agreement for one of our contractors. Jeff listened very carefully to our goals and objectives. He helped us put together an agreement that not only worked for all parties involved but he also helped us to think through all use cases, many of which we would have missed without Jeff. Jeff is phenomenal to work with. We would not have been able to achieve what we did without Jeff's. We are planning on continuing working with Jeff in the future. read more

A few months ago, I was searching for a lawyer for some employment law advice. I found Jeffrey via Yelp and reached out after reading reviews. From our initial consultation, Jeffrey was very patient and provided us with all options we could pursue, even some that did not involve his firm. Jeffrey truly cares about the individuals who reach out to him and seeks to ensure the best path for all. Jeffrey was quick to respond, even at late hours in the night, and provided valuable information for our issue. We would not have been able to proceed without his assistance the past few months and definitely recommend Jeffrey Curtiss for anyone who is seeking employment law advice! read more

As someone who has never worked with an attorney before, I wasn't sure what to expect. But Jeff came highly regarded. From start to end, Jeff was nothing but professional, communicable and quick to respond. Never pushy or dismissive, I felt like I was his only client in terms of his thoroughness and advice. I ended up getting the resolution that he helped me negotiate, which I don't think would have happened otherwise. Definitely recommend read more

Jeff was amazing. I highly recommend his services. He is very fair, professional, and knowledgeable. Worth engaging him on any case you have. read more

Jeff was an invaluable employment lawyer. I reached out to him when my company asked me to sign a contract waving away my rights in exchange for a small settlement (they had withheld overtime pay and were trying to make it right). Throughout the whole process, Jeff was exceptionally responsive, kind, and diligent. He gave me options and guidance at every step of the way, in addition to pointing out other areas where I was owed money, which was so much more than I was expecting. In the end, I argued for a settlement approximately 9 times as large as the original offer - and won! Jeff and I did not need to file a lawsuit or go to court, but I firmly believe that had it come to that, Jeff would have been the perfect man for the job. If you're uncertain whether or not you need a lawyer, I recommend reaching out to Jeff for a consultation. Better safe than sorry, and you can definitely trust Jeff to be honest with you. read more

Jeffrey is a highly diligent attorney with great attention to detail. Doesn't waste any time and gets right to the point for effective results. Not only with resolving litigation, but also with assisting in preventive measures to his clients so they are protected and can avoid falling for common traps. Would always recommend Jeff regardless of any case results. read more

Jeff impressed me with not only his professional expertise but also his integrity and heart. I am glad I have discussed with Jeff about my matters. Jeff spent the time to patiently listen to my "case", helped me to analyze based on his knowledge (very extensive and precise, impressed), explained the potential outcomes for the possible approaches/strategies, pointed out the strength and weakness of my "case", the likely outcomes and implications to my life and career (impressed there again, very believable). Jeff also helped me to understand the financial aspects (the burdens, cost and gains, if any) with the possible approaches, and the possible timeline outlook. I really appreciate that Jeff clearly was considering/recommending for the best interest of me. I felt he simply did not consider if he has my case, it is entirely "what is best for me, and after that, if I have a case". I saw the heart there. No one hopes to have a case, but if I have one, I come to Jeff. Thank you Jeff. read more

Our small business needed an attorney, and we feel that Jeff did an outstanding job representing us. While I'm sure we were a relatively small client of his, Jeff always made us feel like we were his top priority. From the moment we had our initial consultation, it was obvious that Jeff was not only highly intelligent but also very fluent in his understanding of our employment law case. Along the way, Jeff was excellent in guiding us through all of our options, walking us through the various pros and cons of each, and also providing us with realistic expectations and probable outcomes. We greatly appreciated Jeff's promptness, professionalism, clarity and patience in answering all of our questions throughout our work together.
