Jacob W. Sider

Jacob developed his tough legal skills in San Francisco through extensive volunteer work for underrepresented clients. Jacob was awarded the Public Interest Law Foundation Certificate for his work at the San Francisco Office of the Public Defender and the University of San Francisco School of Law Criminal Law Clinic. As a law student, Jacob successfully represented clients charged with brandishing a weapon and check forgery, and also assisted in the representation of clients charged with offenses such as drug possession and discharge of a weapon. Jacob interned at the Instituto Laboral de la Raza, a local nonprofit representing immigrant workers against employers who have violated California labor laws.

With the Sommers Law Group, Jacob has successfully represented clients in a variety of litigation contexts, including: DUI's, breach of contract, wrongful termination, wage and hour claims, defamation, trade secret violations, drug possession, and domestic abuse.
