The history of Law, Snakard & Gambill began in 1892 with an office on Main Street in downtown Fort Worth opened by Morgan Bryan.  By 1915, B. B. Stone and J. B. Wade had joined him to form Bryan, Stone and Wade, locating their offices in the Fort Worth National Bank Building at Fifth and Main.  That same year the bank became a client of the young firm, a relationship which over a period of several decades played a key role in the significant growth of the firm.

Baylor Agerton returned from World War I to join the practice, and the partnership of Bryan, Stone, Wade & Agerton continued for 33 years.  One or more members of the original four partners remained in the firm name until the death of B. B. Stone in 1969.  A merger of the Stone group (then known as Stone, Parker, Snakard, Friedman & Brown) with the firm of Tilley, Hyder & Law formed the beginning of what is now Law, Snakard & Gambill.

After almost a century of the continuous practice of law, the firm has grown to become one of the largest law firms in the Metroplex.  Fundamentally a business-oriented practice, Law, Snakard & Gambill possesses special qualifications in the areas of litigation, bankruptcy, corporate/securities, real estate, health law, taxation, international transactions, financial institutions, probate, oil and gas, and labor relations and employment law.

Law, Snakard & Gambill has consistently supported a large number of community efforts.  The firm has provided a mayor of the City of Fort Worth, two chairmen of the Fort Worth Chamber of Commerce, a regent of the University of Texas System, two recipients of the Blackstone Award, several district and court of appeals judges, many officers and directors of the Tarrant County Bar Association and the Tarrant County Young Lawyers Association, and numerous officers and directors of United Way and a large number of other civic and cultural organizations.
