Highly Recommended!

If you are looking for a great unemployment lawyer look no further! Jacob was extremely helpful, straightforward and knowledgeable. After explaining my situation with my former employer, he took the time to answer all my questions and provided guidance despite knowing there was nothing on it for hi...m since I had already signed my severance agreement. Would certainly recommend him to anyone in a similar situation!

CA Non-compete

I Googled finding a labor law attorney and Jacob had great reviews. He went out of his way to provide no-cost consultation to a single question around non-compete in CA. If a lawyer will be needed, I will certainly call upon Jacob. He displayed great knowledge!

Sincere, direct, and knowledgeable lawyer for the real world

I was referred to Jacab Sider and he gave me clear and direct answers. He listened and asked specific questions to clarify my story. He explained in plain english about the employer confidentiality agreement I signed and what it meant specifically in my situation. He was sincere, direct, and super ef...fective in our 10 minute phone call. He knows the law and how it applies in the real world. I highly recommend working with him.

Best experience with an employment lawyer

Jacob is a very smart, compassionate and effective employment lawyer. He explained the relevant laws and my legal options so clearly I understood exactly what was happening every step of the way. I was truly amazed at my experience working with him. I've never had a great experience with a lawyer unt...il working with Jacob. There was no question he had my best interest in mind at all times. He was also empathetic and honest, two very important qualities I needed during my stressful experience. His response time to my seemingly endless number of questions was super impressive. To say he went above and beyond the call of duty is an understatement. The lawyer representing the other party even commented on how strong our legal contracts were written (by Jacob). I highly recommend working with Mr. Jacob Sider.

Great experience

I spoke to Jacob a few weeks ago regarding an employment contract issue I am having, he provided some great detailed legal advice and opened up my eyes to some things I didn't even consider. Very helpful and will definitely be going to him if i end up needing legal counsel!

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.
