Short and Sweet! Helpful and Honest Lawyer!

I called Jacob about a claim against an old employer who still owes me money, although he was not interested in taking my case he was very generous to spend over 15 minutes with me on the phone, not only giving legal advice but also letting me know what to watch out for with other attorneys etc. I fe...lt he was honest and fair and gave me the ups and downs of all my options. I did not have extensive experience with him, but from the short time I did talk to him, I would recommend his services.

The first honest Attorney!!!!

Mr. Sider aided me in taking on my multi million dollar employer. I was scared and intimidated to say the least. It was a very difficult time for my family and I. Mr. Sider did not over promise nor did he back down. He asked me what I wanted and what I thought was fair. He kept me informed at all tim...es and in the end we prevailed! All in all he is the only honest attorney I have met to date! To be quite frank ..... He is "damn good!" He took on multiple corporate attorneys without flinching and called their bluff every time. I am greatful for his hard work!

Fantastically helpful, honest and great advice

Jacob gave me some excellent consultation on some questions I had for a new position I am accepting. Being able to run through some points of concern was extremely helpful and I wouldn't hesitate to contact Jacob again in the future.

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.
