Superlative experience

First time I needed to hire an attorney to represent me and I couldn’t have been happier with how things turned out. Despite my mental illness, not only did I not feel judged, I felt like I got AAA representation. Erik was a solid lawyer that made me feel heard, empowered and supported. At the end of... the day, I think I got the best deal possible because Erik believed in my case and fought hard for it. I am very grateful for his work.

As good as it gets!

Erik did a fantastic job assisting me in navigating through the government bureaucracy of whistle blower retaliation and the Office of Special Counsel. His knowledge of the system and his sixth sense enabled me to conclude my case with the most favorable outcome possible.

Excellent Attention to Detail

Mr. Snyder was crucial to winning a Delay in Reasonable Accommodations (Disability Discrimination) case against the Army. My case took almost 7 years to complete - and Mr. Snyder’s acute attention to detail, promptness and authenticity kept the case on track, and ultimately successful. 5++++ rating... in all areas!

Highly Experienced Federal Employment Law Representation

I was wrongly fired from Federal Employment during my 1 year probationary period. Erik reached a financial settlement and agency record expungement of the action. Litigation is a long journey, over the 2+ years it took to conclude, Erik was extremely responsive to any email or call. He showed compass...ion and understanding of the emotional distress I was going through. Erik was patient in explaining to me the laws and all of my options, not just the ones he had in mind. But what he thought the court would decide based on his past experiences. My case outcome was better than anticipated due to his tenacity.

Representation for Administrative Action

I hired Erik to represent me in an administrative action against me. Erik was an excellent counsel. He responded to my communications quickly and mapped out every step of the process for me. Erik gave me honest advice about what my chances were and how things would likely play out. He also negotiated... skillfully with the agency to bring my case to a successful settlement.
