Amazing attorney, knowledgeable, experienced, wonderful human being, Cain&Snihur Law firm won my case.
I contacted Mr Snihur and his wonderful Law firm, Cain& Snihur when I was in a very difficult time of my life, when I needed legal help and guidance in my case. I was a desperate mother with a minor child in a very delicate legal situation. My case was very complex and difficult, a relocation overseas with a minor child while having my ex husband making things impossible in court for me and our lives a nightmare. Mr Snihur and his Law firm not only that took my case immediately, but WON my case in court by showing professionalism, competence, knowledge of law, compassion, and kept my legal goals in mind at all times, giving my case all of their attention and always explaining things to me in detail, staying in constant touch and answering my emails quickly, being extremely available to me always. I trust them with my life. I highly recommend attorney Snihur and his Law firm, if it wasn’t for them I would have never won my case and relocated to my home country with my child. I owe them my child’s happiness and safety, our freedom, our security, I owe them my life and I will eternally be grateful, they are simply wonderful and The Best! Thank you, Cain&Snihur Law firm!

Sound and Consistent Every Time
Mr. Snihur created his first contract for one of my businesses in 1989. Over the years he continues to handle all our Real Estate and corporate matters, contracts and business agreements. All documents are carefully crafted and structured. His level of attention to detail ensured that not one of these documents has been successfully challenged. I am always left confident that my business is in the best position possible.

Awsome Attorney
Over the past 15 years as a property manager and owner, I have had occasion to file lawsuits and appeals against tenants, government agencies and city hall. His recommendations are clear, precise and methodical – always able to separate the reality of the situation from the emotion – and present the best path to follow. In the many cases where Mr. Snihur represented me, we obtained a superior settlement, saving me hundreds of thousands of dollars and invaluable peace of mind.

Excellent
Mr. Snihur takes care of my personal requirements, such as living wills, wills and advises me on any all other legal matters that occur. He is thoughtful, thorough and manages to keep me calm when I don't feel it! His advice has always been spot-on and helpful, helping me understand the legal issues and make proper decisions. He makes consulting the legal profession pain-free.
