A very professional and thorough lawyer

Mr. Jacob Sider is definitely the lawyer you want to hire for any issues regarding employment issues. He is not just thorough and professional but he genuinely cares about his clients. He will guide you in the right direction and tell you step by step the measures that needs to be taken for you to ha...ve the strongest case. I was devastated when I was fired from my job for discrimination but with Jacob's help and advice I have the tools I need to fight back and I am now going into mediation with the upper hand on my employers. If it were not for him I could not have done that on my own and I am so grateful. If Jacob Sider is not your lawyer you are missing out!

Resolution without court

Jacob took on a case of discrimination leading to wrongful termination and resolved it quickly without drama. He was able to negotiate a high severance package in a timely manner. The highest professional and delivered a positive outcome to a tough situation. I am very pleased to have been his client..., highly recommend!

Very helpful

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.
