Jacob William Sider

Mr. Sider provided a fantastic consultation! Within the first few minutes, we determined that he would not be able to help me with my case (due to it being in a state where he does not practice)...yet he still took the time the time to offer me an informative discussion and valuable guidance that wi...ll enable me to move forward in the right direction.

I consulted with Jacob today about wages lost from a company that I had a short-term contract work as an RN. He was pleasant, and well-informed about the conference for settlement that I am having next week. He talked me through the process and had great tips on how to get what I need from this conf...erence. He offered to be present with me during my conference. I declined at this point but would definitely utilize his services should I need them after next week. I have dealt with many an attorney in my lifetime and I would hire him in a heartbeat: smart, competent, a true advocate with great positive energy.

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.

I had retained attorney Sider due to harassment at my job. It was a difficult situation and I reluctantly decided that I was not ready to leave my job without a new job and that it would be difficult for me to negotiate a severance agreement at that time. About two weeks later, I found out I was ...losing my rented home due to the owner selling and that my job didn't pay enough, nor was it secure enough to sign a year lease at a new place. I new I had to leave then. I e-mailed him and left him a phone message asking him if he could assist me. For no good reason, he sent me a curt e-mail saying that he declined and that I had "disengaged" his services. His response left me in the lurch and made me feel like I had done something wrong. NOT OKAY AT ALL.
