Ethical, proficient, outstanding…

As we all know, dealing with family can get messy. Recently an immediate family member filed a construction lien on two different properties. I goggled construction lien and knew enough to seek legal counsel. Attorney Jacob Sider was recommended by my nephew to help with this situation. Attorney ...Sider provided detailed steps that would be taken in order to resolve this issue. Within a reasonable amount of time this was resolved without going to court. I would strongly recommend you contact Attorney Sider to handle your case. Attorney Sider, is trust worth worthy, adheres to the client-attorney clause regarding confidentiality. What I liked was that he did not take any steps/action without notifying me first.

A Breath of Fresh Air

I usually don't do reviews or surveys, but my experience with Jacob was totally worth it. I was referred to Jacob by an attorney that I found on a random website regarding employment issues. I have to admit that I was a bit skeptical because I didn't get a chance to meet him in person. After our firs...t conversation, my worries were gone and I felt very comfortable. I can say that he takes his clients very serious and works tirelessly to get the job done. He is very honest and trustworthy, even when new developments may not benefit him which I greatly appreciated. He never made me feel like I was obligated to stick with him when the other party was not as responsive as I would've liked, but he kept me informed of every detail along the way so I knew that he was actually working to get the matter settled. Whenever I needed to contact him, he would call back the same day if he wasn't immediately available to answer the phone. This was very refreshing because I've had experiences with other lawyers in the past where I wouldn't hear from them in weeks. All in all, I loved my experience with Jacob and was pleased with the results. Thank you!

On Top Of It

Contacted Jacob William Sider with a situation with my landlord. He responded IMMEDIATELY! Sider is not typically focused in the field of renters law; however, he still was more than willing to help. He told me from the beginning that there were some laws he needed to do more research, which was... nice to hear his honestly. KNOW THIS DOES NOT AFFECT HIS PERFORMANCE!!! He may not know it off hand...BUT HE WILL KNOW IT!! He was positively aggressive to help me with a battle to remove the black mold in my apartment. What I thought was going to take months to get my landlords attention ONLY TOOK A MATTER OF DAYS! It is always comforting to have an attorney who actually cares about his clients. I've encountered others and let me say not every attorney has the integrety as Sider does. He's an honest hard working family man who cares!

Excellent Experience Working with Jacob Sider

After just the first call with Jacob, I felt I was in good hands. He was straight forward and understanding of my situation. He spoke in layman's terms making sure that I was clear with his intent every step of the way. He was extremely responsive and had excellent follow-up. Even though his assi...stance was going to be for a short term issue, he treated me as if I were a long term client. Would definitely use his services again if the need arises.
