Zealous, Enthusiastic, and Compassionate
Mariusz "Mario" Sniarowski has dedicated his career to personal injury law with a deep commitment to helping clients secure the justice and compensation they deserve. Encouraged by his college professor to pursue law, Mario’s path was solidified after spending his first summer in law school as a summer associate at The Perecman Firm, working under the guidance of David Perecman. After his first year of law school, Mario officially joined the firm and has worked at The Perecman Firm for the past 23 years, dedicating his legal career to advocating for injured and vulnerable clients. Known for his empathy and understanding, Mario has achieved remarkable results, including a $6 million settlement for a construction worker and multiple other multi-million dollar outcomes for his clients.
Fluent in Polish, Mario is especially attuned to the cultural and linguistic needs of Polish-speaking clients, ensuring they feel fully understood and supported. His approach is rooted in truly listening to his clients, so he can identify their unique needs and concerns and advocate for them effectively. As a first-generation immigrant who navigated his own challenges of adapting to a new culture and language, Mario has a personal understanding of the struggles many of his clients face. His life experiences drive his passion for helping others in difficult circumstances.
Mario earned his J.D. and is active in community service, especially through his work with the Polish community. He has served as a board member and a member of the Supervisory Committee of the Polish and Slavic Federal Credit Union and as a past President and current board member of the Children’s Smile Foundation, which led to him being awarded both the “Knight’s Cross” and the “100th Anniversary of Polish Independence Medal” by the Republic of Poland.
Outside of his legal work, Mario is an avid motorcyclist, music lover, and former bass guitarist, spending his free time enjoying outdoor activities, reading, and supporting charitable causes. He is committed to practicing law with integrity, empathy, and professionalism, and aims to provide his clients with not only exceptional results but also a sense of understanding and respect.
