Andrew S. Kryder, Esq.

Founding Partner

Andrew Kryder is the founding member of The Kryder Law Group, LLC Accident and Injury Lawyers. With over 25 years of litigation experience, Andy focuses his practice entirely on personal injury matters. Throughout his career, he has built an impressive record of verdicts and settlements, helping individuals and families in Illinois and throughout the Midwest secure the full and fair compensation they deserve after a serious accident.

Injuries hurt, which is why Andy works tirelessly to make the legal process painless. He often meets clients under very difficult circumstances, fully understanding the physical, emotional, and economic toll an injury takes on a family. Andy recognizes that every client has unique goals. That is why every case starts with a simple conversation. Listening closely and developing a clear, supportive strategy sets Andy apart from other attorneys and makes The Kryder Law Group different from so many other law firms.

Finding simplicity in complex legal cases is another factor that sets The Kryder Law Group apart from its competitors. Most lawyers use 50 words to say what can easily be said in five. Andy believes in straightforward communication. He and his team can step in to navigate the frustrating claim forms, medical authorizations, and complicated releases so that you do not have to stress over them. His goal is to handle the heavy lifting of the legal system while you focus completely on healing.

Over the past two decades, Andy has proven himself as a dedicated litigator at both the Circuit Court and Appellate Court levels. He has taken numerous cases to verdict, managed hundreds of arbitrations, and appeared in court thousands of times. Furthermore, he has argued multiple cases before the Illinois Appellate Court and holds admission to practice before the United States Supreme Court. Collectively, The Kryder Law Group has represented thousands of clients and recovered over $2000 million in compensation for injury victims.
Andy and each lawyer in the firm stand ready to take your case to trial if needed. By preparing a strategic litigation plan for each client, The Kryder Law Group is able to maximize compensation and stands ready to go to trial if needed.
