GET PROFESSIONAL HELP WITH YOUR PERSONAL INJURY CASE

Personal injury cases are legal disputes when one person suffers harm or injury from an accident caused by another person. These cases can either be taken care of in a formal lawsuit through civil court proceedings, or in an informal settlement involving the people personally involved, their insurers, and the attorneys representing them. The Law Offices of Jennifer R. Snyder can help take care of you during your personal injury case. Our law office is in Newark, CA and we have served clients from other Bay Area cities as well, including Fremont, Union, and Hayward.
