Jacob William Sider

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.

I can't rave enough about my experience with Jacob! I had an interesting exempt/non-exempt case and he was up for the challenge. He took the time to explain the case perspectives and details to make sure that we were always continuing in a direction that would end up with the best outcome. I've nev...er had to work with a lawyer against an employer and he was very understanding and patient with me. Communication was always clear and all his responses to my questions were prompt so I wasn't left guessing what next steps were. We ended up winning the case

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... :)

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!

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.
