Your boss will love hearing from 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.

Employment discrimination claim

Jacob did an excellent job! He guided me through the whole process, explaining all necessary information with me all along the way, clearly and concisely. He was very available, always got back to me promptly and kept me informed at every step. He's a keen negotiator and I was very pleased with the o...utcome of my claim. I wouldn't hesitate to recommend him to anyone!

Super Jacob!

This guy Jacob is the MAN! I called him in regards to a small employment issue where i was terminated without being paid my cleared expenses. He listened to my lengthy story and was johnny on the spot with the information he absorbed and sorted into a well worded response. The outcome was perfect ...for my situation and i walked away with a smile on my face and the new knowledge that my case was a piece of cake. Jacob is very informative and is willing to work with you in a very friendly, professionally and knowledgeable manner :) I would recommend him, even if its just for a consultation to see if its right for you!

Great experience!

I can't rave enough about my experience with Jacob! I had an interesting exempt/non-exempt case and he was up for the challenge. He took the time to explain the case perspectives and details to make sure that we were always continuing in a direction that would end up with the best outcome. I've nev...er had to work with a lawyer against an employer and he was very understanding and patient with me. Communication was always clear and all his responses to my questions were prompt so I wasn't left guessing what next steps were. We ended up winning the case

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.
