Our Story

In the Spring of 1980, brothers Mark F. Snider and Thomas J. Snider, both of whom had completed college, received their Law School degrees and passed the New York State Bar, became partners under the name of Snider and Snider, Attorneys at Law. They opened a law office in their hometown of Massena, New York.


Their practice of law was built around providing assistance in the myriad of everyday matters that life brings to small town America, from A to Z: Adoptions to Zoning matters, Wills, Powers of Attorney, Real Estate, Traffic Tickets, Trusts, Criminal Defense, Corporation and Partnership Creation, Custody, Visitations, Divorce, Debt Collections, Assessment Challenges, and everything else. The law practice was founded on the principle that no one with a legal matter would be unaided, from the simplest of speeding tickets to the acquisition of a $50 Million Dollar shopping mall. Their dedicated expertise has been available for decades to assist both United States and Canadian individuals near and far.


Today, with Denice M. Smith, Esq., and Daniel C. Ramsey, Esq. being added as Partners, Snider Smith & Ramsey, LLP can trace its roots back over 40 years to the firm started back two brothers in Massena, New York. Snider, Smith & Ramsey, LLP remains committed to offering high quality legal services to the North Country.
