Wasted a lot of time and money at grandson’s expense

Meshelle Snyder was attorney for my son in a child custody dispute. After many weeks, many hours of collecting data, and a few thousand dollars, everything he had asked for became lost in the shuffle. In the end it was recommended that he not get the courts involved in his family affairs. If that ...were her viewpoint, it probably should have been thousands of dollars sooner. Many years later, my grandson’s life is a mess.

Former client

Meshelle Snyder represented me in my recent divorce proceedings which spanned several years. She and her staff are not only highly professional but good people. Ms. Snyder is whip-smart, detailed-oriented, exhibits excellent judgment and will fight vigorously for her client. She listens and develop...s a sound strategy on how to proceed with a particular issue. I always felt that I was in very capable hands. She's a great attorney!

Self Serving

Do not hire this attorney. I hired her and shortly afterwards we had a meeting with my ex wife, her attorney and a case worker. Ms. Snyder encouraged me to sign an agreement for me to continue to pay my wife's bills, got nothing in return for it and once the agreement was signed my wife's attorney dr...agged out the whole process and eventually I got buried. I even tried to write temporary on the agreement and she made me cross it out. Shortly thereafter I fired her. After, when meeting with other attorney's I talked to, they said it was a huge error on her part. It cost me badly. Stay away from her.

Divorce

I had hired 6 attorneys all of them took my money, but left me with the problem. I hired Meshelle Snyder in hopes that she could help me. She did a GREAT job in my case and resolved 99.5% of the problems. I would rate her the highest rating I can.

Top Notch

My attorney retired and Ms.Snyder came very highly recommended. My ex-spouse passed away which along with incomplete QDRO paperwork of previous attorneys presented problems that Ms.Snyder identified and resolved very quickly resulting in no red flags on my retirement. She was very knowledgeable on wh...at forms to file and to whom they go to. Conducted herself very professionally and more than equitably billed me for quality service I received. I now rest a bit easier. The consultation fee is very well worth it - I don’t believe you’ll be disappointed.

Our Rating is calculated using information the lawyer has included on their profile in addition to the information we collect from state bar associations and other organizations that license legal professionals. Attorneys who claim their profiles and provide Avvo with more information tend to have a higher rating than those who do not.

What determines Avvo Rating?
  • Experience & background Years licensed, work experience, education
  • Legal community recognition Peer endorsements, associations, awards
  • Legal thought leadership Publications, speaking engagements
  • Discipline Disciplinary information may not be comprehensive, or updated. We recommend that you always check a lawyer's disciplinary status with their respective state bar association before hiring them.
