A true expert who fought for my wrongful termination case

After being wrongfully terminated from my position in Pittsburgh, I was overwhelmed. Hiring John Black was the best decision I made. His deep, 15-year focus on employment law for individuals was immediately evident. He didn't just take my case; he explained the nuanced strategies he would use, referencing complex Pennsylvania statutes with ease. His recognition as a top lawyer in this field is well-deserved. John and his team at Edgar Snyder & Associates were consistently professional, responsive, and fiercely dedicated. The positive settlement we achieved has allowed me to move forward with security. I cannot recommend him highly enough.
