Client

Jacob was an absolutely amazing attorney. He provided great advice even when it wasn't in his best interest, financially. One thing that I truly appreciated was his work ethic and excellent communication skills. He never just "disappeared." Jacob completed and mailed out my letter of demand within th...e same week that he accepted my case... returned my phone calls and e-mails, expediently... followed through with any counter offers, immediately... and was, over-all, well versed in his field. I also appreciated his willingness to answer all my questions and assist me with my EDD Appeal (which I won with his guidance). It is never "fun" to be in litigation with a former employee but he made the entire process as painless as possible. He is very honest and gave me the feeling that he really loves his profession. If you are searching for an employment attorney, I would DEFINITELY recommended that your hire Jacob Sider... :)

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!

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.
