Professional Result Oriented Lawyer

Jacob is very professional. I highly recommend if you want someone who cuts through the BS and gives it to you-and your opponent-straight. I was given a settlement that I know on my own I would not have gotten. Thank you Jacob.

Posted by Marc | February 01, 2021 | Hired Attorney

Lots of options out there, glad I hired this one!

I was concerned about hiring a lawyer, however I was referred to Mr. Sider. He is direct, to the point, took the time to learn the issue and explained everything in terms I could understand. In my experiences, lawyers spend a lot of time in the beginning, then you receive one word, vastly delayed res...ponses once hired. Jacob always responded to me, kept me updated on where we were at every point in time, and constantly coached me on expectations. He's a great negotiator, organized and trustworthy. Though I don't think I'll be in this situation again, I would hire him in a second if needed. I'll definitely refer him if anyone I know needs help fighting the good fight.

Top notch Employment & Labor Lawyer

Jacob was an amazing help to me, he kept me informed every step of the way and he made sure I understood all the legalities and the information he provided. He gave me the advice I was needing and assured me that it was the best decision, given my situation. He is knowledgeable, honest, fair, kind an...d hard working for his clients. Jacob is a straight up lawyer, I highly recommend his services for your legal needs.

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.

Avvo Rating

Our Rating is calculated using information the lawyer has included on their profile in addition to the information we collect from state bar associations and other organizations that license legal professionals. Attorneys who claim their profiles and provide Avvo with more information tend to have a higher rating than those who do not.

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.
