About Shannon

Shannon Snedaker is a trial attorney in Florida. Her passion is helping people get through difficult times and seeking justice on their behalf. She has been practicing accident and injury law exclusively for the entirety of her career.

In her early career Attorney Snedaker had the privilege of representing some of the largest insurance carriers in the country. This provided her with the opportunity to learn how insurance companies evaluate claims. During her time working for the insurance carriers, Shannon defended their interests throughout Florida and handled complex cases involving catastrophic personal injuries from auto accidents, wrongful death, slip and falls, products liability, and medical malpractice.

As a trial attorney for individuals, Ms. Snedaker has been able to fulfill her life-long passion of helping people. She has experienced firsthand how catastrophic injuries can affect families. Her brother suffered a brain injury leaving him handicapped at a young age. This incident extended beyond the injuries her brother sustained and affected her entire family.

Shannon’s personal experience has not only shaped her as a person but has also helped her empathize and advocate for her clients. Her belief is that each client deserves to be heard and have their interests be the top priority.

Attorney Snedaker has been honored and recognized for her professional efforts by Martindale Hubbell, an international lawyer rating service that has been rating attorneys for more than 100 years. Through the service her peers rated Ms. Snedaker as an “AV” and she has been included in their directory of Preeminent Attorneys.

In addition, Shannon was integral in forming a Seminole County chapter of Florida Association for Women Lawyers, an organization that promotes gender equality in the practice of law. It has been her honor to serve as the organization’s inaugural President.

Shannon grew up in Arcadia, California. She relocated to Florida to attend the University of Florida where she received her undergraduate degree. She then attended Barry University Law School in Orlando and has resided in Central Florida since 2003.

Ms. Snedaker has three children and three step children. She enjoys spending time with her family and volunteering at the kids’ schools and sports activities. On most the weekends, you can find Shannon cheering on her children from the sidelines of a softball game or choreographing a dance for their end of year plays.

Shannon is honored to be able to represent victims of personal injury accidents. If you have been involved in an accident or lost a loved one due to the negligence of another, Shannon will work hard for you and for justice.

Review Shannon Snedaker

Wonderful!

Posted by

I have never hired a lawyer before so this was my first experience. After my car accident, I was referred to Snedaker Law. Mike was super pleasant. Everything was explained to me in layman terms so I knew right up front about what to expect and the cost. He was quick to respond to my questions during the whole process, which was about 11 months from start to finish. They handled everything with my insurance company, which greatly helped me not stress since I was going through physical therapy and missing time from work and we were all going through Covid restrictions. This being my first experience dealing with lawyers, I am extremely happy someone was there to handle the legalities. If I ever need a lawyer again, I'll be back. I will also refer anyone I know needing one to Snedaker Law and to Mike Palacios.

Genuine, personable and supportive

Shannon made me feel comfortable and heard from our first consult. She fought for me and believed me and genuinely cared about the outcome of the case. I’m thankful for her and her team and I highly recommend her to anyone needing an attorney to make them feel like a person and not just a new case.

Honest, Intelligent and Caring Law Firm

Posted by

After a bad auto accident that totaled my car I was unable to function and take care of the endless stream of issues arising from the incident. A few years ago I had a bad experience with one of the big law firms that has endless TV and radio commercials in the area, and wasn’t sure where to find good legal representation. My physical injuries made it hard to even think and I was overwhelmed trying to make sense of endless phone calls from insurance companies and care providers. A friend recommended Snedaker Law, having worked with them before and appreciating their talent. Their approach was to assure me that they would handle everything to allow me time to heal. This was something I hadn’t even considered and it took a lot of weight off me once they began to work on the case. They kept me informed every step of the way and made sure that all outstanding bills and issues were handled. They explained the settlement in a common sense way so that I felt at ease at the end of the process. Don’t fall for the TV ads. Hire Snedaker Law, because they actually care about their clients.

Daughter's auto accident

Posted by

I could not have been more pleased with the service and CARE that our family received from Shannon and Mike after my minor daughter's auto accident. Their first concern was my daughter's health and recovery. Shannon met with us and explained what would happen throughout the process. Mike handled our case wonderfully. We never felt forgotten, taken advantage or felt that we didn't matter to the firm. They took all of the legal stress on so I could concentrate on may daughter and I am very grateful to have had them on our side. I would hire Shannon's firm again in a heartbeat, I just hope I never have to. Thank you so much.
