Professional and informative. Very helpful.

Jim Snyder has helped me on more than one occasion. His knowledge of the law as well as his presence in the courtroom has given me great confidence that I would get the decision I desired. His advice during my defese was extremely helpful. I would definitely use him again and recommend him highly.

On time for every appointment. He also helped me win a very difficult case. Well worth the money. I will only use him going ...forward.

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.
