Jacob William Sider

I retained Jacob Sider for an independent contractor vs. employee issue relating to qualification for EDD benefit payments. Jacob made certain that I had a strong understanding of the relevant legal and factual issues. He made me feel more confident, but without sugar-coating anything. He has a ...very direct style of communicating, which I appreciate. Jacob responded very quickly whenever I tried to contact him. He kept me informed of every step made in the process and made me feel respected about my input and concerns. I was extremely satisfied with the results and I highly recommend his services.

I had Jacob Sider represent me in an employment matter and severance review. He provided me with honest and reality-based advice as well as reviewing my options within the context of employment law. He was very responsive during the month plus negotiation process and was supportive of me as his cli...ent the entire step of the way. When complexities within the case arose he always would cover all of the options we had available and gave sensible, grounded and honest feedback. He's up-front and will say what you need to hear, not what you want to hear. Which is definitely something to value in an attorney.

I only met Atty Jacob Sider once for a teleconfernce with the Dept of Labor and he was very accomodating to all my needs. My deceased father was a lawyer back in the Phillipines, so we argue most of the time, which I think was good so I will understand the LAW here, I was a stubborn client, I do stu...pid stuff so I always was in trouble with him which I KNOW WAS A GOOD LAWYER CLIENT RELATIONSHIP, HE WILL NOT ADVISED OTHERWISE COZ HE WILL NOT GET ANYTHING IF WE LOOSE THE CASE, IT WAS A TIME CONSUMING AND TIRING PROCESS, I WILL RECOMMEND TO MY RELATIVES AND FRIENDS IF THEY NEED A LAWYER LIKE HIM. I DO NOT BELIEVE THE NEGATIVE REVIEWS OF OTHER CLIENTS, I KNOW PEOPLE CAN NEVER BE SATISFIED....

During a stressful time in my life, Jacob Sider not only represented me, but was supportive and informative during the entire process. Jacob called me at regular intervals while my case was pending to give me updates and see how I was doing. Jacob did the necessary research regarding my case and gave... me a reasonable expectation of how the case would go. In the end, I did win the case thanks to Jacob's representation. Jacob made the process so much easier than I had anticipated and I would highly recommend him to anyone needing a labor attorney.
