About Sneh
Biography
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.

Chatham County
Great attorney! Mr. Patel represented me for my citations in Chatham county and was able to reduce my charges. He was very prompt in answering any questions I had throughout the case. He also did an excellent job explaining the next steps to take for my case and what to prepare for.

Public intoxication and obstruction
I had never had to face the courts and had no idea what to expect. Mr Patel made the experience as pain free as possible. My case was resolved prior to my court appearance and resolved with my privacy kept in mind. He seems to have a good rapport with the prosecutor and others in the court system. Al...

Patel Does Well
Mr. Sneh Patel makes it all so easy. I found him googling around for lawyers to help on a speeding ticket I'd got and his price was better than most, so I enlisted his help. He let me know up front what to expect and it played out just as he said down the line. He responded to my anytime emails and t...

HIred for DUI
Mr. Patel was professional, personable and handled my case well. He responded to my emails and phone calls timely. He was also very honest without being insensitive regarding my case and I appreciated that.

"I endorse this lawyer. Sneh is knowledgeable and always fights hard for his clients."

"I endorse this lawyer. Sneh is extremely knowledgeable about criminal defense and immigration issues. He is surely the attorney you want on your side."
"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."
