View Transcript

My name is Jason Liechtenstein. I'm a partner at Edgar Snyder & Associates. I've been a lawyer since 1994, when I became licensed in Pennsylvania. I'm also licensed in the state of Maryland. My profession includes all different types of representation of injured people, whether it be in car accidents, truck accidents, roadway defect cases, product liability cases, dangerous property cases, dangerous animal cases. At a very early stage after receiving my law degree I decided I wanted to do personal injury because I think there's a special bond that is created between representing individuals who have personal injuries, and who rely upon us to try to assist them with their different types of issues. For a few years earlier in my career I had the opportunity to do defense work and to represent the insurance companies, and I can say with certainty that that has helped me represent injured individuals. I understand the way that the insurance companies evaluate a case, and I try to use it to my advantage when I'm presenting my own client’s case to the insurance company or its attorney.
