Former Prosecutor Dedicated To Criminal Defense. Expertise You Can TrustAs a former assistant district attorney, I use experience from the other side to your benefit.I will look for ways to protect your rights, whether your offense is drug or alcohol related.Let me protect your driving privileges and prevent higher insurance rates.
Experience is the key when it comes to criminal law. I handle everything from traffic tickets to felony drug crimes, assault and battery, DUI and more.
I have served as both an Assistant District Attorney and a Public Defender for Liberty County, Georgia, and I am an active member of the Chatham County DUI court team. The knowledge I have from both sides of the courtroom gives me a tremendous advantage in crafting effective defense strategies.
Since founding my law firm in 2014, I have handled a number of high-profile cases. One notable case was the hatchet murder in Hinesville, in which I defended a client accused of double homicide.
I am a sole practitioner and ensure my clients get one-on-one attention. I personally answer the phone, listen to concerns, answer questions and address clients’ needs. In addition, the small size of my practice means I keep my fees reasonable.

Relationship: Opposing Counsel on matter
During the time that Sneh Patel worked as a prosecutor, we had many cases against each other and he was always a tough opponent. Now that he handles criminal defense cases, he brings not only knowledge and experience but that same toughness when fighting on behalf of defendants. Thus, I endorse this lawyer.

Mr. Patel used to be a DUI Prosecutor and we had several DUI jury trials against each other. He is very smart. Maybe one of the smartest lawyers I know. He wants to win and he's not afraid. I endorse this lawyer.

Sneh has tremendous knowledge and experience in criminal defense from having worked on both sides as a prosecutor and as an advocate for people facing criminal charges. I would highly recommend using him if you or a family member need a criminal defense attorney.

I endorse this lawyer. Sneh is extremely knowledgeable about criminal defense and immigration issues. He is surely the attorney you want on your side.
Lyon Jemison, Criminal defense Attorney on Mar 31, 2014
Relationship: Worked together on matter
What I like about Sneh Patel is his work ethic and honesty. He does not make idle or foolish promises, nor does he sit back to the last minute until the day of a hearing to focus on his clients. He knows how to empathize with a client, while being strong and realistic with the client about expectations. He has integrity, great experience in criminal law (a former Assistant District Attorney), and trial experience. He is a rare breed in the criminal law field and he is one among only a few criminal law attorneys I would recommend.
