What We Can Do For You

We’re On Your Side:
We will not let your case settle at a discount! Insurance companies will work to settle your case for as little as possible and realize you are unfamiliar with the legal system. To an insurance company, you are a spreadsheet number. We stand up for your legal rights and make insurance companies value you as a person. How? We build up your case by creating a narrative that explains the full impact that the injuries have on every facet of your life. We work hard. We are passionate about what we do and will front legal costs. You should know that we don’t get paid if you don’t collect any money. The more we can build your case, the better we both do. We are dedicated to honestly representing your interests and give you our legal opinions based on our extensive experience.

Treating The Client Fairly
We have always felt that it is important to give every client the quality of representation that we would each want for ourselves, or close friends and family members.
We will always offer to meet with you and explain the law or evaluate your case for no charge. Once HIRED, we will make all court appearances and explain to you any options you have to settle your case before trial. However, we will face a trial decision realistically and explain to you the pros and cons of a trial in your case. We have a passion for jury trials and prepare each case like it be litigated through a jury trial. Our level of preparation and experience has led to successful civil and criminal jury trials.
Please let us use our knowledge of the vehicle code, cross examining experts, settlement and litigation skills to help you stand up to insurance companies and get a fair result or defend your criminal case.
Client Testimonials
David is one of the top young lawyers in the country, but he doesn’t act like it. He is respected in the legal community and is also easy to respect as a human being. He is personable and treats you as though you’re his only client. He was extremely easy to work with and did a great job communicating through the entire process.
The thing that was most apparent to me, and most impressive [about Ben] was not only the process of jury selection, but also the way Ben addressed the jury members – explaining the process of the trial. Whereas the prosecutor was frequently and obviously boring the jury, the minute Ben spoke every one was paying rapt attention. He is definitely a gifted communicator.
As a career police officer, I’ve seen lots of lawyers. I have never met a lawyer so sharp, dedicated and effective as David Eder. When my mom was injured in an auto accident, I called him immediately.
David was easy to work with and went above and beyond for us with all companies involved. Ultimately, fighting for us to ensure that we were taken care of from all angles. We were in great hands. Thank you David for your prompt, honest, and personal service!
If I could say only one thing about Ben, it would be that he ACTUALLY CARES. This is a Lawyer who would call me to make sure I understood everything that was going on at every step, even through all the moving pieces and slight changes. My case was complicated and spread between two counties, there were A LOT of moving pieces and changes. He would also ask how I was doing with everything and actually remembered the little details about my case and my life at the time.
Ben doesn’t hand off the job to someone else. He is there for you for every step of the way, and readily answers any and all questions you may have. And is easy to reach. And he knows the system inside out, and has many colleagues and associates in the business. You can sense that his genuine goal is to help people in this unfortunate situation. Don’t even think twice about it. Just hire Ben.
