Excellent Attorney

Jacob Sider is a great attorney! He represented me well in my lawsuit against a company that no other attorney was willing to take. I got back a great settlement! Jacob is very knowledgeable about the laws, which makes things much easier. He's very passionate about his job representing you as his cli...ent. Very well organized and replies to you via email or phone quickly. Thanks Jacob I appreciate you and will highly recommend to others!

The first honest Attorney!!!!

Mr. Sider aided me in taking on my multi million dollar employer. I was scared and intimidated to say the least. It was a very difficult time for my family and I. Mr. Sider did not over promise nor did he back down. He asked me what I wanted and what I thought was fair. He kept me informed at all tim...es and in the end we prevailed! All in all he is the only honest attorney I have met to date! To be quite frank ..... He is "damn good!" He took on multiple corporate attorneys without flinching and called their bluff every time. I am greatful for his hard work!

Amazing Attorney!!!

Dealing with legal issues can be scary, especially if they impact your livelihood. Having Jacob Sider represent me gave me peace of mind that I had the best representation I could have. Jacob aggressively pursued the matter and resolved it successfully. He was accessible, clearly spelled out my opti...ons, and was extremely patient with my many questions along the way. I could not have been more pleased with the results. I wholeheartedly recommend Jacob Sider to guide you through the legal process. Great results, very professional with that extra personal touch.

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.
