Good honest advice

I spoke with Mr. Sider regarding a claim of wages under the Division of the Labor Commissioner. I found his advice to be very appropriate and clear. This was a consult and I felt it was well worth my time and money to speak with him.

Posted by anonymous | April 03, 2020 | Wrongful Termination

Excellent advice and swift response!

I consulted with Jacob regarding my termination. Jacob responded the same day and was extremely professional, kind, thorough and thoughtful in discussing my options, and very helpful in providing background and rationale in how to proceed. I am grateful for the time he spent with me and for the knowl...edge he shared to educate me. I strongly recommend his services and would retain Jacob if ever I need an attorney's services.

Resolution without court

Jacob took on a case of discrimination leading to wrongful termination and resolved it quickly without drama. He was able to negotiate a high severance package in a timely manner. The highest professional and delivered a positive outcome to a tough situation. I am very pleased to have been his client..., highly recommend!

  • 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.
