About Me<\/h2><\/div><\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n\n
\n
\n

Brandon Snyder is a litigation attorney at Rupp Pfalzgraf LLC whose practice is built on a straightforward principle: leave no stone unturned.\u00a0 Since joining the firm following his admission to the bar in 2021, Brandon has developed a broad and sophisticated practice spanning insurance coverage defense, subrogation, construction litigation, and complex commercial disputes.\u00a0 He approaches every matter with the same tenacity \u2014 whether he is defending an insurance carrier against a multimillion-dollar property claim or advocating for a business owner whose interests have been compromised.<\/span><\/p>\n<\/div><\/div>\n\n

Brandon regularly represents insurance carriers and their insureds in first-party and third-party matters, guiding clients through the full lifecycle of a claim \u2014 from coverage analysis and appraisal through trial or resolution.\u00a0 His subrogation experience encompasses a wide array of loss types and disputes, from residential and commercial property losses to complex construction and environmental claims.\u00a0 He litigates and advocates across all major forums \u2014 New York state courts, the Northern and Western Districts of New York, insurance appraisal proceedings, and arbitration before various panels.\u00a0\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<\/div><\/div>\n\n

On the commercial side, Brandon represents business owners and corporate clients in shareholder disputes, contract litigation, and construction matters, including large-scale environmental and contamination cases.<\/span><\/p>\n<\/div><\/div>\n\n

What distinguishes Brandon\u2019s approach is the combination of aggressive advocacy and practical judgment.\u00a0 He is deeply committed to achieving outcomes that align with his clients\u2019 actual goals.\u00a0 That means identifying dispositive issues early, controlling costs through strategic decision-making, and maintaining a clear-eyed focus on resolution throughout every stage of a matter.<\/span><\/p>\n<\/div><\/div>\n\n

Outside of the office, Brandon can be found spending time with his family and his dog, exploring the Western New York restaurant scene, and following his favorite sports teams. <\/span><\/p>\n<\/div><\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n\n
