Jacob resolved it.

I reached out to Jacob to help me with my unlawful termination from my previous job, he listened to my case, prepared a demand letter and sent it. He is extremely responsive and explained everything. My case did not get to court, and I was happy with the resolution. A great lawyer to work with!

Excellent experience

I was referred here by another firm, and was very happy with it. Jacob followed up with me about everything, kept me in the loop, and resolved my issue very quickly and with almost no effort on my part.

Best experience with an employment lawyer

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.

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.
