Honest and efficient
He was great at giving me all the necessary information and was always available for questions that i had about my case. I would definitely hire him again if I'm ever in the situation i was in due to the timely manner my case was settled and the monetary received.

Professional and very knowledgable lawyer
After contacting 5 lawyers about my case, Jacob was straight to the point he does not try to waste your time. He worked on my case for over a year in order to win my case. I highly recommend Mr. Sider as your lawyer, you need someone as persistent and dedicated to your case as he was.

Great lawyer
Jacob is a very pateint and reassuring lawyer. I hired him for a work lawsuit. He was able to get me the settlement and was very nice throughout the process. The defense lawyer took a bit time on his end but Jacob was very reassuring and kept me in loop. Definitely recommend him.

Professional Result Oriented Lawyer
Jacob is very professional. I highly recommend if you want someone who cuts through the BS and gives it to you-and your opponent-straight. I was given a settlement that I know on my own I would not have gotten. Thank you Jacob.
