Jacob William Sider

Jacob is a very smart, compassionate and effective employment lawyer. He explained the relevant laws and my legal options so clearly I understood exactly what was happening every step of the way. I was truly amazed at my experience working with him. I've never had a great experience with a lawyer unt...il working with Jacob. There was no question he had my best interest in mind at all times. He was also empathetic and honest, two very important qualities I needed during my stressful experience. His response time to my seemingly endless number of questions was super impressive. To say he went above and beyond the call of duty is an understatement. The lawyer representing the other party even commented on how strong our legal contracts were written (by Jacob). I highly recommend working with Mr. Jacob Sider.

This man called me back at like 9PM to give me a full blown consultation and get a timeline. I was driving my SUV around town with my screaming kids and he was so , so very patient. Mr. Sider took my case on a contingency fee because the case has merit, and he seems to be working at a lightning fast... pace. I do believe we are set to drop the bomb on my employer by the end of the week, give or take. That's a three-day turnaround time. Results are never guaranteed but I genuinely feel, this guy's going to make them pay and give them hell. Communicating with me is difficult. I have this wonderful disabling condition known as manic depression. It kind of shows in my written communications, during stressful times. Every other lawyer got severely annoyed with my flood of convoluted emails explaining every sensation I felt during this ... horrible time. Jacob has been more than patient, and this is consistent in all of these other AVVO reviews, sans the random haters.

Having never had an issue in my life where an attorney was required, I interviewed and discussed my situation with 7 different attorneys/practices. Jacob was by far the absolute best out of the group and I could not have made a better choice for my situation. He works tirelessly for his clients and i...s highly communicative. It never took more than 10 mins EVER to receive a response back from him (if he didn't pick up initially to begin with). He was kind and thoughtful to my situation, explained everything I needed to know and fought. I can not say enough and would recommend him to anyone I know. This is the guy that gives attorneys a good name.

I had a consultation and briefly hired Jacob, but I found that he had rigidly held beliefs and spoke patronizingly to me even though I have also attended a good law school. I had an employment issue, and he didn't try very hard to see my point of view or find legal basis to support my case. ("I know ...the law better than you do!") He didn't seem to be in my corner or to show the promise of "zealous representation." He snapped up my case on the first phone call but later backed off on what he promised to do. I found a couple other lawyers who were fully in my corner and followed through with all the issues in the case, so I broke off with Sider and hired one of them instead.
