Personal AND Persistent!

We feel so fortunate to have found Shannon and her team. She and Mike helped us from Day 1 and persisted despite numerous obstacles in our case. They made sure my daughter received prompt and expert care ASAP, kept us posted on the varied developments, and even went above and beyond by coordinating s...teps with our insurance company when our own attempts were stalled. We can't thank them enough for their personal care, commitment, and concern, and would highly recommend them to anyone looking for a dedicated team to watch out for you.

Treated me like Family!

From day one, Mike Palacios was honest, clear and very patient. He gave me advice on what to do even if I decided not to hire their firm. He ALWAYS responded to my text/emails and most of the time within minutes. I honestly felt like I was his only client. Shanon was amazing and very genuine as wel...l and I only had to go to the office 2 times. You truly get a very personal treatment with the Snedaker Law Firm. They might not have billboards everywhere in Central Florida but they do walk the walk and fight hard to make sure you are compensated. They did for me. Hire them!

Wonderful!

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.

Honest, Intelligent and Caring Law Firm

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 goo...d 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.

Honest, Reliable, Professional, Compassionate

You may seldom hear those words together if you have had experiences with attorneys. Yet, the Vicaryous Law Firm embodies these traits. I am 3,000miles away from my mom in Florida, who was involved in an accident. That in itself presents many challenges. Trying to navigate this on behalf of my mo...m was to say the least - overwhelming. Not just dealing with the effects of the accident but the hospital, rehab, medical insurance, doctors, auto insurance, police, courts ,other attorneys, etc. Things you don't even know you will end up dealing with will surprise you when you think you are taking care of everything. I found myself consumed with trying to deal with it all before I hired the Vicaryous Team. It truly is a team- they are caring and have integrity about everything they do. My case ended up with Shannon who was very responsive- even with the time difference- she would surprise me with an immediate response even very late into the evening. Even when she was tied up in court- she always found a way to put me at ease and communicate to address my concerns. She knows the facts and the law. Translates it all in plain English and finds the most strategic way to help you. If you are looking for someone who truly has your best interest at heart and walks the walk, quit wasting your time with ambulance chasers - where you may become a number- one of many. Personalized service is waiting for you with this great team at Vicaryous - Shannon, Jim, Mike, Stephanie and those who work behind the scenes - whose names I wish I had. They all are a very rare find in this world.
