Jacob William Sider

I had a consultation with Jacob about a wrongful termination. He took the time to explain my options and offer his realistic assessment. He followed up with me by email and was very professional and caring. I decided not to move forward, but if I did need to hire an employment lawyer, I would hire Ja...cob.

After having an incident with my disability and letting the ( former ) company know that I had to excuse myself for the rest of the day, due to my disability, the company thought it was a great idea to fire me the following day. Shocked and distraught, I called a few lawyers, many of which did n...ot want to take my case due to the short time working with the company, Finally got a call back from Jacob and he was able to resolve the matter and get me something for my troubles. A very good amount for my time spent at the company and all of this was done with just a few letters going back and forth with the company's lawyer. He was very knowledgeable and talked with me straight and direct, like a good friend will do. He told me realistically what the outcome could be ( financially ). I like a lawyer who talks direct and does not make me feel just like another client. I really felt like he was fighting for a friend. I highly recommend Jacob Sider to represent you for your troubles as he knows what he is doing.

I was referred to Jacob by another firm that only took larger cases. I was reeling from just having been unexpectedly fired from a job of 3 1/2 years. Loyalty, sacrifice, and hard work means nothing to some companies as they neglect the legal labor requirements for their employees. My first conversa...tion with Jacob helped me sort out the facts of my case and he quickly versed me on all of the labor laws that were broken. I felt comfortable and empowered to stand up for myself with an attorney who was both experienced and confident. Although I was reassured that he would do the best possible job, Jacob always made it clear that all decisions to go forward with any option were mine and he patiently described realistic outcomes of each. He communicated with me by phone or email almost daily until the day of our meeting with the Labor Commissioner. I had not met him until that day but his easy style made me confident that we would present my case well. During the meeting, Jacob cited facts to answer the defendant's attempts to discredit me. Needless to say, we walked away winning my case and I felt vindicated for standing up to my former employer. I will forever be in Jacob's graces for allowing me to feel victory....the money was not the end goal, the principle of being the first person to call this employer out on their smug practices would have been enough. However, winning my case has allowed me to put this sour chapter behind me and enables me to look back smiling!

Dealing with legal issues can be scary, especially if they impact your livelihood. Having Jacob Sider represent me gave me peace of mind that I had the best representation I could have. Jacob aggressively pursued the matter and resolved it successfully. He was accessible, clearly spelled out my opti...ons, and was extremely patient with my many questions along the way. I could not have been more pleased with the results. I wholeheartedly recommend Jacob Sider to guide you through the legal process. Great results, very professional with that extra personal touch.

I usually don't do reviews or surveys, but my experience with Jacob was totally worth it. I was referred to Jacob by an attorney that I found on a random website regarding employment issues. I have to admit that I was a bit skeptical because I didn't get a chance to meet him in person. After our firs...t conversation, my worries were gone and I felt very comfortable. I can say that he takes his clients very serious and works tirelessly to get the job done. He is very honest and trustworthy, even when new developments may not benefit him which I greatly appreciated. He never made me feel like I was obligated to stick with him when the other party was not as responsive as I would've liked, but he kept me informed of every detail along the way so I knew that he was actually working to get the matter settled. Whenever I needed to contact him, he would call back the same day if he wasn't immediately available to answer the phone. This was very refreshing because I've had experiences with other lawyers in the past where I wouldn't hear from them in weeks. All in all, I loved my experience with Jacob and was pleased with the results. Thank you!
