About Edgar Snyder

If you live in Western Pennsylvania, you most likely know Attorney Edgar Snyder’s face from television commercials or billboards, pointing his finger and saying, “There’s never a fee, unless we get money for you!” But what you probably don’t know is how he became the most recognizable injury lawyer in the region.Attorney Snyder’s father, a Russian immigrant, and his mother, a Pittsburgh native, stressed the importance of hard work and a good education. They gave him and his siblings two options for their future employment, asking, “Are you going to be a doctor or a lawyer?” Because of his knack for winning arguments and his success on his college debate team, Attorney Snyder felt the legal profession was a good fit for him. After graduating from Pennsylvania State University, he enrolled in the University of Pittsburgh School of Law.After graduating from law school, Attorney Snyder opened his own storefront office in Duquesne, PA, setting up shop across the street from the steel mill so the workers would see his light on after their shifts. At the time he was also serving as an Allegheny County assistant public defender. He represented several high-profile clients, including Stanley Hoss, in what many consider to be Western Pennsylvania’s trial of the century.Despite his success, Attorney Snyder’s passion was helping injury victims and people with disabilities: Attorney Snyder was determined to expand his personal injury practice.In 1982, Attorney Snyder discovered the power of advertising. Soon, Attorney Snyder’s television ads about free legal help were making him a household name across the region. As Attorney Snyder’s reputation as a caring but tough injury attorney grew, so did his legal practice. Today, Edgar Snyder & Associates has five offices across Western Pennsylvania and is recognized as a top-rated personal injury law firm.
