Edgar Snyder

In 2014, he transitioned from partner of Edgar Snyder & Associates to founder, of counsel, and retired shareholder.

By 2006 Snyder had stopped personally taking on cases, letting his partners argue the courtroom cases instead. Although he continued to oversee and direct the operations of his practice outside of the courtroom, it was reported in 2009 that he was beginning the process of retirement, but that he would continue to run the company for a few years.

Snyder was selected for inclusion in the list of Pennsylvania's "Super Lawyers" from 2004 through 2010.

After graduation from law school, Snyder served as a public defender in Pittsburgh for Allegheny County, Pennsylvania. He then opened his first law office in nearby Duquesne, where he initially worked in criminal defense and represented high-profile clients in highly publicized cases. In the 1980s, he expanded his practice to include personal injury cases, driving a van around Western Pennsylvania to meet with clients.

Snyder was born in Connellsville, Pennsylvania to Jewish Polish and Russian immigrants. He graduated from Taylor Allderdice High School in 1959. He attended Penn State University, where he was the captain of the school's debate team, and is a 1966 graduate of the University of Pittsburgh School of Law.

Edgar Snyder (born September 6, 1941) is a Pittsburgh-area personal injury lawyer. One of the first attorneys in the area to advertise extensively on television, he became recognizable from his marketing campaign, which began in the mid 1980s. In 2009, the Pittsburgh Post-Gazette called him "Pittsburgh's best-known personal injury attorney".
