Jacob William Sider

Who wants to have a situation whereas we need to talk to someone and share some "messy" personal stuff? None of us. Yet I needed to do it for myself and my family about a legal issue. Jacob took enough time for me to tell him our situation, which is not great right now. Why else do you call a lawyer?... To be blunt and honest, Jacob allowed me to tell him enough. He's smart and he's heard a lot of people's stories. I felt satisfied that I got enough out, and then he came back to me with his ideas and suggestions. They were right on. I think I must have signed ten times during the call while now listening to him as what he said not only made sense, but his care was truly there and he truly offered his heart and mind which is so much what we needed. I needed to hear what he said, and he said it well. You know, it's what you put out to a professional. They can't read our minds. I advise to be clear, concise, not too emotional, and then be open to listening to a professional. Jacob is a professional. I talked, I listened, and I'm glad I called him.

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.

Jacob is a thoughtful lawyer; one that is not afraid to give you proper and fully detailed initial legal consultation. I contacted many lawyers seeking consultation. I can't tell you enough how so many of them provided nothing but air or were simply afraid to give away their services for free. Jac...ob was honest, straight-up, and very thorough in his explanations and legal services. He took the time to answer all my questions and concerns and help me understand my legal options, what's required, and the probability of outcome. If you are in need of a labor lawyer for consultation or hire, Jacob is the one! I have no doubt after my consultation that he would have represented me better than anyone could have. I strongly recommend Jacob.

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... :)

I've had the pleasure of working with Jacob. I was really pleased with how he attended to my needs in the most efficient, speedy and professional manner. He doesn't go round and round trying to relay a message rather, he is straight to the point with all my questions and concerns. I was a victim of e...mployment harassment and wrongful termination and honestly he made me feel that I am not alone in dealing with the matter. All thumbs and toes up for this guy! Thank you!
