Absolutely fantastic. Michael and his group went above and beyond anything I could have expected. He was such a good attorney that I am worried that my review will sound like it was written by a spam-bot. I would recommend him to anyone.

Professional and caring- the best phone call I ever made!
When my life changed drastically after an unfortunate car accident, Michael Rosenzweig and his team were the only lawyers willing to take my case. I felt helpless at the time and after my first conversation with Michael I knew I had made the right decision in calling Edgar Snyder's and Associates. He made me feel at ease and that he would make my case a priority. Michael told me that my only focus was to be on myself and healing. He would handle everything else. Those words were ones that I will never forget. As a victim of a car accident I physically, mentally, and emotionally was not in the state to be able to take on much more than just rest and rehabilitation. Michael is professional, persistent, and caring. He expects nothing but the best possible outcome for his clients and doesn't stop until that happens. I highly recommend Michael Rosenzweig and his team. I can't thank them enough for the time and energy that they put into my case. I'm forever grateful.
