Divorce and custody

I had a wonderful experience with Devin. It's generally overwhelming to find yourself in need of a lawyer for whatever circumstances, and Devin was friendly, pleasant and very helpful in guiding me through the tangled webs. She took the time to explain everything in detail and tell me when I'm thin...king too much into something or correct me when the laws don't follow what seems like common sense. I also appreciated that when I called or emailed, Devin would respond herself, and as promptly as she could. I would gladly recommend Devin.

Estate Planning, Probate

Hallett Snyder Law helped my dad rewrite his will after Mom passed, and then assisted with the execution of the estate after Dad passed. Professional and clear; we needed to meet in person only twice (I live out of state); Hallett Snyder Law conducted 100% of all legal matters with the court and ever...y other part of the estate that I as executor needed assistance on; all of this during COVID.

Patient, informative, and extremely knowledgeable.

My husband and I wanted to get a will completed in case anything should happen to us, we wanted to make sure everything with the kids and our estate would be taken care of. Devin met with us in a very timely manner and was patient with all of our questions. I am very grateful for the assistance she... provided. His staff was very professional and prompt with all contact

Professional and Caring Family Law Attorney

In 2016 my child's father filed to change our joint physical and legal custody order to primary physical and legal custody. I wanted a local attorney and not a large firm where in the past it felt as if I got lost in the crowd. Devin was referred to me by my father's church. Over the course of mor...e than two years, Devin helped me navigate a very ugly custody situation with caring and decorum. With every hearing and situation that arose she offered me choices and explained in detail the ramifications and costs of all avenues. When I voiced a strong opinion on a subject she followed my lead but did not hesitate to explain any issues she might have with the direction I wished to go in. She did not just assist me in the court filings and appearances but provided referrals for adolescent counseling for my child and correspondence with opposing counsel to help limit any unnecessary communication between myself and my child's father, which was often volatile no matter how I tried to temper it. In 2018 the custody trial was postponed due to outside circumstances that would not be considered typical in a custody case. Devin advised and helped me and my child navigate this and at times scary landscape always advocating for me and the safety of my child. My child now lives with me full time and we both finally have the peace of mind to plan for a bright future. The years within the family court system were stressful to say the least, but Devin was a calming voice in stormy weather. I highly recommend her for family law as she is insightful, detailed and very caring.

Expert Estate Planning

Devin has provided our family with expert family/estate planning advice and consultation services, allowing us to feel more secure and protected as our family continues to grow. The idea of estate planning had always been a daunting proposition prior to meeting with Devin, but it took only a few brie...f conversations and meetings before she had all of needs and questions addressed. I highly recommend the services of Devin Hallett Snyder! Thank you, Devin!
