Client review

Atty. Snider represented us in an automobile accident. He kept us appraised of proceedings and did much to reduce our stress; i.e., the insurance company wanted us to return rental car to VA when we lived in CT--Atty. Snider resolved this. He also negotiated a fair settlement for us.

Excellent Attorney

Mr. Snider obtained a settlement for me that enabled me to retire.

Avvo Rating

Our Rating is calculated using information the lawyer has included on their profile in addition to the information we collect from state bar associations and other organizations that license legal professionals. Attorneys who claim their profiles and provide Avvo with more information tend to have a higher rating than those who do not.

What determines Avvo Rating?
  • Experience & background Years licensed, work experience, education
  • Legal community recognition Peer endorsements, associations, awards
  • Legal thought leadership Publications, speaking engagements
  • Discipline Disciplinary information may not be comprehensive, or updated. We recommend that you always check a lawyer's disciplinary status with their respective state bar association before hiring them.
