Find EdgarSM
How It All Started
In 1982, Edgar Snyder started his law practice knowing that he wanted to help people who needed it. What he didn’t know was that his strategy for getting the word out about his services would become one of the most utilized advertising tactics employed by attorneys today.
His signature point, the catch phrase “there’s no fee unless we get money for you,” and even his very own persona has become engrained in the pop culture of Western Pennsylvania and beyond. What started as a small newspaper ad for legal services quickly turned into a multi-year, multimedia advertising campaign that not only educated the public but also set the stage for legal marketing as a whole. Arguably, Edgar Snyder blazed the trail for attorney advertising nationwide that we continue to see today.
Other attorneys followed suit, and now nearly all lawyers mention the contingency fee portion of the service agreement. Everyone touts the “no fee unless you win” language, and many advertisements for legal services all look the same. Close your eyes. Think about the last legal ad you saw on television. Picture the lawyerly-looking attorney, suit on, briefcase in hand, walking stately next to a courthouse. See them diligently working in a conference room with legal pads and books. Maybe they even cross their arms, look tough, and promise they will work hard when you hire them. There may be X-rays and concerned handshakes and hugs. The voice over will share the details and instructions inviting viewers to call for an initial consultation. They. Are. All. The. Same.
