Social Security Disability Legal Center

Top 10 Reasons to Hire Our Firm

Reason #1: Our Experience

Experience Counts. Attorney Edgar Snyder has been practicing Personal Injury law for over 40 years. Edgar Snyder & Associates have been representing injured people for over 25 years, handling Workers Compensation and Social Security Disability (SSD) cases for nearly 20 years. Attorney Snyder and his firm have represented over 30,000 injured people.

Reason #2: Our Free, No Obligation Legal Consultations

At Edgar Snyder & Associates, we offer a free initial consultation on all Long Term Disability, Social Security Disability Personal Injury, and Workers' Compensation claims without an obligation to use our services. If we don't think you need an attorney, we will tell you so.

If you think that you, or someone close to you, may have a legal claim, you may contact us in one of two ways:

Reason #3: There’s Never a Fee Unless We Get Money For You

Over the years, many people have asked, is that really true? Yes, it's absolutely true. At Edgar Snyder & Associates, we operate our practice based on contingency fees. This means that any fees we collect are based only on a percentage of any money that we collect on your behalf.

When your case is resolved, our fee is based on a percentage of the settlement plus any costs that we have incurred to settle or litigate the claim. Costs to prove the case may include investigations, expert witnesses, medical reports and depositions, photographs, and other costs specific to your case.

So, if you're hurt in an accident, or injured on the job, you don't have to be afraid that it will cost you too much to use our services. At Edgar Snyder & Associates, there really is no fee unless we get money for you!

Reason #4: There Are Never Any Up Front or Advance Costs to Our Clients

When we handle an injury claim, we advance all of the expenses and costs of handling the case. Costs to prove the case may include investigations, expert witnesses, medical reports and depositions, photographs, and other costs specific to the case. You pay us nothing unless -- and until -- we resolve your case. This allows anyone, no matter what their financial situation, to use our services.

Reason #5: We Take the Burden Off of You

No one ever expects to be injured or to become ill, but unfortunately it does happen every day and in many ways. And when you are injured or become ill, the problems can be overwhelming.

Some of these concerns may be:

  • financial issues: who is going to pay for your medical bills, lost wages and for your pain and suffering?
  • legal issues: what benefits are you entitled to right now and what benefits could you be entitled to in the future? How long do you have to file a claim? What papers should you sign or not sign?
  • emotional and psychological issues that are caused by the accident and the changes it renders in your life or in the life of someone close to you.

By allowing Edgar Snyder & Associates to represent you, we will handle these issues for you so that you can do what’s important - concentrate on getting well.

Reason #6: Our Team of Professionals

At Edgar Snyder & Associates, we strive to treat the client as the most important person in our office. Our team of professionals is dedicated to personal service. To us that means always trying to keep you posted on the progress of your case, returning phone calls, explaining things in simple and clear terms, helping to solve your problems, and paying attention to you and the details of your case.

When you are a client of Edgar Snyder & Associates, you benefit from the combined knowledge and experience of our team of professionals. If you have a Personal Injury case, a team including an Attorney, investigator, members of our case management staff, plus other support personnel will work on your behalf. If you file a Workers' Compensation or Social Security Disability claim, an Attorney, Paralegal, and other support staff will handle your claim.

In addition, a member of our Client Services Department may contact you periodically during your case to ask about your experience with our law firm. This is a chance for you to make comments or suggestions about how your team is handling your case. We listen to your input so that we can continuously improve our service. Our clients also have a special toll-free Client Services HelpLine available 24 hours a day.
