Best experience with an employment lawyer

Jacob is a very smart, compassionate and effective employment lawyer. He explained the relevant laws and my legal options so clearly I understood exactly what was happening every step of the way. I was truly amazed at my experience working with him. I've never had a great experience with a lawyer unt...il working with Jacob. There was no question he had my best interest in mind at all times. He was also empathetic and honest, two very important qualities I needed during my stressful experience. His response time to my seemingly endless number of questions was super impressive. To say he went above and beyond the call of duty is an understatement. The lawyer representing the other party even commented on how strong our legal contracts were written (by Jacob). I highly recommend working with Mr. Jacob Sider.

Excellent Advice And Right To The Point

I was very impressed with how quickly Jacob was able to understand my legal issue and give me advice to make a thoughtful decision given my situation. He was able to simply and quickly explain my rights and he helped me to understand the pros and cons of what to consider as I made an important legal ...decision that had significant financial implications. I have worked with different attorneys in the past with very mixed results. I would recommend Jacob if you have an employment matter - he definitely knows what he is doing.

Great experience

I spoke to Jacob a few weeks ago regarding an employment contract issue I am having, he provided some great detailed legal advice and opened up my eyes to some things I didn't even consider. Very helpful and will definitely be going to him if i end up needing legal counsel!

Your boss will love hearing from Jacob Sider.

This man called me back at like 9PM to give me a full blown consultation and get a timeline. I was driving my SUV around town with my screaming kids and he was so , so very patient. Mr. Sider took my case on a contingency fee because the case has merit, and he seems to be working at a lightning fast... pace. I do believe we are set to drop the bomb on my employer by the end of the week, give or take. That's a three-day turnaround time. Results are never guaranteed but I genuinely feel, this guy's going to make them pay and give them hell. Communicating with me is difficult. I have this wonderful disabling condition known as manic depression. It kind of shows in my written communications, during stressful times. Every other lawyer got severely annoyed with my flood of convoluted emails explaining every sensation I felt during this ... horrible time. Jacob has been more than patient, and this is consistent in all of these other AVVO reviews, sans the random haters.

Avvo Rating

Our Rating is calculated using information the lawyer has included on their profile in addition to the information we collect from state bar associations and other organizations that license legal professionals. Attorneys who claim their profiles and provide Avvo with more information tend to have a higher rating than those who do not.

What determines Avvo Rating?
  • Experience & background Years licensed, work experience, education
  • Legal community recognition Peer endorsements, associations, awards
  • Legal thought leadership Publications, speaking engagements
  • Discipline Disciplinary information may not be comprehensive, or updated. We recommend that you always check a lawyer's disciplinary status with their respective state bar association before hiring them.
