About Armand

Learn Armand’s areas of practice.

Attorney Leonelli has been selected to the 2018 - 2021 Pennsylvania Super Lawyers’ Rising Stars® list, an honor awarded to the best up-and-coming attorneys. He is also a member of the Million Dollar Advocates Forum and Multi-Million Dollar Advocates Forum, reserved for attorneys who have achieved million and multi-million dollar verdicts and settlements for their clients.

He is a magna cum laude graduate of Duquesne University School of Law and has continued this track record of excellence during his time at our law firm. He's committed to understanding the ins and outs of your case, including how it has affected your life. Attorney Leonelli will do everything he can to make sure you get the compensation you deserve for your injuries.

Why did you choose to practice personal injury law? 

"I was fortunate enough to be given an opportunity to clerk at a personal injury law firm. This exposed me to the 'real world' of personal injury law. There was something very compelling about seeing attorneys helping injured people, and their families, overcome what may be some of the most trying times in their lives."  Attorney Leonelli

What is one piece of advice you would give to a client?

"It's important to 'live your life, not your case.' What I mean by that is an injury alone is enough to overwhelm a person without being compounded by legal issues. So, as difficult as it may be, you should try to focus your energy on recovering from your injuries and returning to some level of normalcy, rather than being stressed or anxious about the legal issues of your case—let us bear that burden as much as possible."

Background:  Attorney Leonelli is originally from Uniontown, Pennsylvania where he attended Laurel Highlands High School.  Following high school, he attended Seton Hill University on both academic and athletic (soccer) scholarships.  Attorney Leonelli graduated from Seton Hill University with a dual major in Human Resource Management and Marketing.  Thereafter, he obtained his law degree from Duquesne University and immediately began practicing personal injury law. 

 

Attorney Leonelli prides himself on always being available to help his clients, as well as prospective clients.

 

In his free time, Attorney Leonelli enjoys spending time with his family, weightlifting, and boating.

If you are looking for someone in this business tensions can get high. Getting an attorney that can take care of your case and ease your mind is priceless. Armand's dedication to my case was obvious from day one as he kept me updated on my case every step of the way. My case was not an easy one but Armand absolutely hit it out of the park. Armand is as professional and personable as they come. Thank you Armand Leonelli, God bless you and your family.

Exceptional personal communication skills paired with excellent legal knowledge helped us through a difficult time.
Armand helped my wife and I wade through the legal mess after I was hit by a car while stopped on a motorcycle. I had nothing to do with the accident except being in the wrong place at the wrong time. It totally ended the life I had and begin a new life without the Army and the relationships with co workers and soldiers. Armand talked to my wife who was at wits ends dealing with crooked people holding my motorcycle ransom to the hospital trying to collect payment while I was still in their rehabilitation program. It was more difficult for my wife who was taking care of bills, informing family, going between my job and then dealing with me never walking again. The amount of personal attention Armand gave my wife every time she called to deal with a problem or concern. He never gave use information that I felt was wrong and this helped us make good decisions settling with the different insurance companies and the hospitals. He helped keep us up to date on the progress of the case. Before meeting Michael Rosenzweig and working I did not like lawyers due to a small issue many years ago that made me hate lawyers and made me apprehensive to deal with any lawyers ever again. I am glad we Choose Edgar Snyder, Michael and ultimately to deal with Armand after my accident. I am eternally grateful for the attention Armand gave me and my wife. I know there were many times my wife just needed to talk to someone to help her work through the issues related to my injury, recovery and even what was to follow. I am very confident that we received the best legal advice regarding my case. My wife and I hope to never have to deal with a situation like this again but if we do I would seek Armand Leonelli to work through any problem. I have a totally different view of lawyers because of Armand's attention to detail I never questioned his guidance because we would talk about my concerns for or against any decision I had to make regarding the insurance companies that just wanted to keep their money and had no concern with me picking up the pieces of my life and moving on. With Armand's help we were able to buy a new house that is more accessible to me and made my life after the accident a lot easier. Since the accident I have started driving again I have left the Army after 27 years of service. Both of these things were important to me recovering and moving on. I have been able to focus on the future the whole time I was working through the legal issues. I would highly recommend Armand Leonelli and Edgar Snyder to anyone who is dealing with a accident of any kind.

Just wanted to thank Armand Leonelli and Edgar Snyder for handling my case settlement involving a car accident in December 2014. Mr. Leonelli kept me updated and informed with my case either through email or phone calls. He is very professional, patience, loyal and confidential. Armand fought for me and he helped me win my case against a big insurance company. In the future, if I ever need legal help, again, I will call on Armand Leonelli and I will recommend his service to potential clients. I am giving him four stars.

Motorcycle accident Attorney | Dec 17
Relationship: Worked together on matter
"Armand is a true rising star in the Western Pennsylvania legal community. Armand and I worked on many matters together as former co-workers at a prior firm. He is extremely intelligent with an ability to quickly grasp and dissect the most complicated of cases. He is also not your typical attorney in that he straight talks everyone, there is no fluff, he cuts right to the core issues of every case. He is a compassionate advocate for his clients. Every client that I ever knew him to work for left thrilled to have had Armand represent them. He is available to the people he fights for and actually cares about people. There is no doubt Armand will continue to excel in this profession and help many people along the way. I highly endorse him as a lawyer and person."
