Testimonials
Amber Balakian
Mr. Sperber is one of the most skilled and intelligent attorneys in the industry. I spoke with several attorneys initially. However, I was deeply impressed by his overall knowledge and perspective of what I was facing. I was grateful he agreed to help me. It initially seemed intimidating to pursue a case against my very large employer, but Mr. Sperber gave me the confidence to pursue it. He was very honest, patient, attentive and forthcoming throughout the entire process. I was very happy with the outcome, and appreciated all of his persistence in pursuing justice for my case. If you are looking for an attorney who has both brilliance and integrity, Mr. Sperber is that diamond in the rough. He will also make you laugh, which I appreciated given the nature of most legal situations.

Brilliant, honest, and likable attorney with a vital and unfortunately necessary specialty in labor law. Most attorneys I have worked with are more attuned to their billable hours, than to the client’s legal issues. Anthony was patient, thoughtful and respectful for both my case as well as his invoicing. I hope I will never need to make another appointment at his office, but would love to meet him in Berkley’s Gourmet Ghetto, to treat him to a fine meal for a job extremely well done.

I am delighted to have found Mr. Sperber. He showed genuine understanding and human engagement right from our first contact. He is quick to respond, professional, and caring, which is a rare combination in an attorney these days. I fully endorse the other positive reviews about him and highly recommend him.
Roberta Laub-Rode
Mr. Sperber is a wonderful lawyer. After calling several lawyers when I was in need to urgent advice, he called me back within minutes and patiently listed to my questions and answered all of them. It is clear he really cares for his clients and mostly wants everyone to have the best experience possible. I decided to hire his services and I am very happy with his product, which was done very fast and for a reasonable fee. I would highly recommend Mr. Sperber to friends and family!

Anthony really listens to what you have to say. I've tried other law firms and their consultation mostly ends if they don't have a slam dunk case. Anthony gives you a fair shot and when people need to be heard, it's the best feeling one can get. Really appreciate Anthony's mentality.

It's extremely difficult to find an attorney you can trust and also afford. Anthony is that unicorn/needle in a haystack/pick your metaphor. This is why:
- He does not charge for an initial consultation to discuss your situation. Other lawyers will try and you should run quickly from them.
- He will work with you to figure out the best possible outcome for your situation, not try to push you into costly litigation.
- He is easy to talk to and has a good sense of humor. This is an underrated quality in attorneys, but it's actually important to find someone you like (especially if they're going to be in your life for several weeks/months/years).
If you're reading this (and therefore in the position to be shopping for an employment lawyer), I'm sorry. That sucks. And I really recommend giving Anthony a call.

This firm is our family’s go-to for the various burning questions that inevitably arise from curious employment practices in the busy Bay Area. Our friends also enjoy the same quick and considerate help. We can always count on Anthony Sperber, Esq.
Tia Welty
Atty. Sperber was the only one, of many attorneys I'd contacted, that actually reached out to me directly, instead of an intake clerk. He was diligent, professional, and actively listened, in order to understand my case, to which he helped me understand more law terminology. Much appreciated! Would certainly recommend him to others.
Missi Elliott
The most dedicated Law Professional in California. Mr. Sperber knows exactly what he is doing and I have full faith he can seek justice in any case. I highly recommend his business.

I hired Anthony Sperber to represent me in an employment dispute involving serious misconduct by a former employer. Anthony acted with urgency and precision from day one, filing for arbitration immediately and walking me through the entire process with professionalism and clarity. He was able to secure a fast arbitration date, which quickly led to mediation. Thanks to his strategic and confident handling of the mediation, I was able to reach a settlement under satisfactory terms on the same day. After years of deadlock with a previous attorney, Anthony resolved my case swiftly and with a great outcome. Anthony is a highly skilled and effective advocate. I’m thankful for his work and would strongly recommend him to anyone dealing with a complex employment matter.

Anthony’s work has been exceptional for my family. After returning to the East Bay from working in the U.S. House of Representatives, I discovered that my mother was being paid roughly half of the legally required minimum wage. I reached out to several local attorneys, but none felt like the right fit. Then I found Anthony’s practice online. From our very first call, which lasted nearly an hour, he took the time to understand every detail of the case and agreed to represent my mother on a contingency-fee basis. The defendant dragged the litigation out for almost four years, yet throughout that long process, Anthony made what could have been an incredibly stressful experience feel manageable. He consistently kept us informed, walked us through strategy decisions, and explained each step in a way we could understand. At every point, we felt like we had a trusted family attorney in our corner. After hiring Anthony, I feel like I gained not only a strong legal representative but also a friend who genuinely cared about my mother’s well-being and our family’s peace of mind. When our case settled this year, Anthony went above and beyond the scope of our agreement by continuing to represent us until final compensation was secured. He did this not because he had to, but because that is the kind of attorney and person he is. Anthony is an outstanding attorney. If you are considering hiring him, I can wholeheartedly say that you absolutely should.

My case was unusual as it involved serious defamation by a previous employer. I searched high and low to find a lawyer who was specialized enough in this niche area of law to take my case, and was fortunate enough to find Anthony. Over the nearly two years he worked on my case, there was no question I had that he left unanswered, every email and phone call were promptly replied to, but almost more importantly, he displayed a heartfelt compassion and understanding of the impact my case had made on my life and did everything he could to fight for me. Anthony made a point of explaining convoluted legal theory in such a way to make my case easier for me to understand and able to make an informed decision at the time of settlement. He is sharp as a tack and only ever inspired confidence that I had found the right attorney for the job. He gets an extra 10 bonus points in my book for having a good sense of humor and being easy to talk to as well. Highly recommend.

Working with Anthony over the past two years has been an exceptionally supportive experience during one of the most difficult periods of my life. From our very first conversation—when he asked, “How are your students?”—I could see his humanity, kindness, and genuine care. Anthony is patient, strategic, and truly present. He discusses the case with you, not at you. He invites questions, explains scenarios clearly, and never pushes for results before the time is right. I tend to jump ahead, and he recognized that early on, guiding me gently to trust the process. I had gone through painful workplace situations involving minors and was unable to find anyone in my county willing to take my case. On a hopeful impulse, I emailed Anthony with a timeline and summary. He responded almost immediately. Even before any formal agreement, he spent significant time talking with me—without charging me—which meant more than I can express. Throughout mediation, he maintained a steady balance of professionalism and lightness that helped me stay grounded. He always provided information in a timely and thoughtful way, making sure I understood each step. I consider myself extremely fortunate to have found Anthony Sperber. His compassion, integrity, and expertise carried me through an incredibly challenging period, and I would recommend him without hesitation to anyone seeking an attorney who leads with both heart and skill.

My family was involved in a dispute over back pay owed to my late father by his former employer. Dispite repeated requests for payment, the employer was not taking us seriously. We decided to seek professional legal help, and reached out to Anthony and his firm. During our initial consultation Anthony was clear, realistic, and helpful, explaining the possible outcomes of the case, any sorts of extra compensation we should be entitled to, how long the case may take, and more. After hiring Anthony, he and his firm immediately got to work, chasing down the employer, determining the total sums owed, etc. The case then proceed very smoothly, dispite repeated sluggishness from the employer. Overall, we settled the case via mediation, receiving more money than if we had settled without Anthony's help. Thoughout the case, Anthony met and exceeded our expectations. He kept us informed, was always knowledgeable about the case, and clearly had an excellent understanding of the laws involved. We felt that we were in good hands with him. If I am ever involved in a similar dispute in the future, I would not hesitate to hire him again.

I cannot recommend Anthony enough. He is incredibly knowledgeable, professional, and truly cares about achieving the best possible outcome for his clients. Anthony's expertise and strategic approach were instrumental in resolving 2 of our very complex corporate cases successfully. He's an exceptional lawyer and a wonderful person to have on your side.

Mr. Sperber helped me navigate complex employer-labor laws and contracts after a VC funded SaaS (tech) job ended. While the law and contracts were ironclad, and the tech company was ruthlessly aggressive, so I ultimately had to agree to the tech company's terms, Mr. Sperber was remarkable for being kind and patient in helping me understand my options, and humored me in attempting to negotiate. I don't fault him at all for the outcome, this was a situation with zero wriggle room. The difference between Mr. Sperber and other local employer-labor lawyers, was that the other lawyers would give short cut and dry answers and weren't willing to attempt a long shot, while Mr. Sperber was patient, helped me understand the situation, and humored me. When a job ends, this kind of caring can be important, so that you as a client feel that you thoroughly tried to get the best outcome so you can move forward without doubt, and come away understanding the law better to protect yourself before future situations. Mr. Sperber's manner is also kindly reassuring in tense legal situations where it feels like stronger adversaries are both rude and have the upper hand. In short, I trust him more.

Wise words that will help guide you in the best direction for your unique situation. I spoke to many potential employment attorneys and Mr. Sperber was the only one that took the time to actually listen and provide well-thought out advice. Highly recommend.

Anthony was referred to me by a family friend who spoke very highly of him, and after hiring Anthony I have to say he exceeded my expectations! He was so easy to work with, a very nice person, extremely helpful, on top of all our communication, proactive in all his efforts to help me and is excellent at his job. I would highly recommend him. Anthony is definitely someone you want to have on your side!
Rachel Wylde
I can honestly say that I was completely satisfied with Anthony's work representing me to navigate through a really stressful employment situation. I will be forever grateful to him for his wise analysis and kind support. After expertly leading me through a time-consuming and protracted negotiation, he delivered a result that was very impressive, both to me and several lawyer friends of mine. He is very compationate and patient and I appreciated how he reassured me and calmed me down through the process. I highly recommend him.
Philip Moody
I was referred to Anthony by a friend who had an extremely positive review of Anthony. I contacted Anthony and at all times, he was professional, knowledgeable and appropriately cautious. He delivered on everything he promised. I would highly recommend him and I will use him again when the time comes.

Anthony was very helpful in assisting me with a wage dispute. He helped me to successfully resolve the dispute with a large, publicly traded company. I was impressed with the amount of time he spent with me during the process. I highly recommend Anthony’s services!

I recently had to deal with an unfortunate situation with my employer. Thankfully I reached out to Anthony and I found him to be open, knowledgeable and extremely easy to talk with. Not only did he provide sound legal advice, he went above and beyond to work as a sounding board for strategies in regards to actions and decisions. I felt reassured to know that I had a strong ally in my corner throughout the process. I was very satisfied with the end result and would highly recommend him to anyone needing counsel.

Mr. Sperber went above & beyond, in researching and preparing for my case. He is a true expert in his field, and did everything he could to ensure a great outcome! He is very professional, yet personable at the same time. He kept me informed throughout the process, and was very quick to respond to any questions that I had along the way. I couldn't have asked for a better attorney..
Shanandrea
I feel as though Anthony was always responsive and honest. He made sure I understood what was going on and never made me feel as though I was bugging him with questions or my concerns. He understood what I wanted and he worked hard to settle my case for what it was worth. Thank you!

Mr. Sperber was so helpful! He talked at length to me, multiple times about my difficult situation and provided much assistance about possible options. I ended up not needing an attorney yet, but if I do, it will definitely be him. He was very compassionate and empathetic. If you are seeking an enthusiastic, knowledgeable lawyer that will fight for you, he is your guy!
