Cares about small business

I spoke with Jacob about my concerns regarding worker classification for my small business. He was thorough, concise, and made an effort to listen and understand my issue. He gave hard-hitting advice on how to protect myself from trouble. I feel more confident now that I can handle the situation appr...opriately. Thank you Jacob!

Client

Jacob was an absolutely amazing attorney. He provided great advice even when it wasn't in his best interest, financially. One thing that I truly appreciated was his work ethic and excellent communication skills. He never just "disappeared." Jacob completed and mailed out my letter of demand within th...e same week that he accepted my case... returned my phone calls and e-mails, expediently... followed through with any counter offers, immediately... and was, over-all, well versed in his field. I also appreciated his willingness to answer all my questions and assist me with my EDD Appeal (which I won with his guidance). It is never "fun" to be in litigation with a former employee but he made the entire process as painless as possible. He is very honest and gave me the feeling that he really loves his profession. If you are searching for an employment attorney, I would DEFINITELY recommended that your hire Jacob Sider... :)

Efficient, Honest and Profesisonal

I've had the pleasure of working with Jacob. I was really pleased with how he attended to my needs in the most efficient, speedy and professional manner. He doesn't go round and round trying to relay a message rather, he is straight to the point with all my questions and concerns. I was a victim of e...mployment harassment and wrongful termination and honestly he made me feel that I am not alone in dealing with the matter. All thumbs and toes up for this guy! Thank you!

Excellent Attorney

Jacob Sider is a great attorney! He represented me well in my lawsuit against a company that no other attorney was willing to take. I got back a great settlement! Jacob is very knowledgeable about the laws, which makes things much easier. He's very passionate about his job representing you as his cli...ent. Very well organized and replies to you via email or phone quickly. Thanks Jacob I appreciate you and will highly recommend to others!

Consultation

I had a consultation with Jacob about a wrongful termination. He took the time to explain my options and offer his realistic assessment. He followed up with me by email and was very professional and caring. I decided not to move forward, but if I did need to hire an employment lawyer, I would hire Ja...cob.

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.
