Severance Review

Before entering a severance agreement with a former employer, I enlisted Mr. Sider's help in reviewing the contract to ensure my rights and compensation were being met fairly, ethically, and according to policy. Although the review required a short professional relationship, Mr. Sider's findings and ...recommendations gave me a solid foothold in a now successful severance outcome. I highly recommend Mr. Sider to anyone seeking an employment law case

Represented me in an unlawful detainer case

I had a landlady from hell, and Jacob Sider got me out of the apartment with my head held high and my reputation in tact. The settlement allowed me to keep the rent that had been set aside during the court case and the unlawful detainer was dismissed. The landlady and her husband knew no bounds. T...hey lied about everything as they tried to force illegal rent increases on the home I lived in which had been unlawfully converted into apartments. Jacob fought with me every step of the way.

Very knowledgeable, sympathetic, and honest.

Jacob put my mind at ease within the first minute of our first conversation together. He maintained a commitment to my best interests and kept me well informed of all of my options.

Great lawyer!

Jacob helped me out with a overtime settlement. He is very upfront and tells you if you have a case or not. He may seem a bit intimidating at first but that is what you want as a lawyer. He was alway there to answer my questions. Jacob always answered his phone or called back within the same day. The...re was always communication between us being by phone or email. He let me know what was going to happen, what could happen and gave me the best advise for my situation. Jacob was the first lawyer I ever needed and I have to say it was a pleasure working with him

What determines Avvo Rating?
  • Experience & background Years licensed, work experience, education
  • 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.
