Successful Mediation

Russ Snyder is a strong, intelligent lawyer who conducts himself with professionalism and kindness. He offers steady guidance through pre-trial meetings and hours-long mediation. He is a respectful gentleman to his associates and clients. He doesn't waste anybody's time or money. Anyone needing l...egal assistance with difficult family trust matters would do well to enlist Mr. Snyder.

Outstanding and very professional

Russ very skillfully represented me during on of the largest divorce cases in SW Florida. It was a case several other attorneys turned down as being to difficult with ultimately 15 contested hearings. While being extremely knowledgeable and maintaining the highest professional standards I have seen... within the legal system, I have nothing but praise for Russ Synder. Russ and his team were also my biggest supporters during this protracted ordeal. His belief in the case, his perseverance, and due diligence paid off. The results were far better than I had expected. Without any reservation, I would strongly recommend Russ as a personal attorney and value his continued advice.

Additionally, as I have grown up in Venice and have known Russ for over 20 years, I can say that Russ is one of the pillars of our community and is lauded for his community involvement as well as being a successful father and husband. I recommend Russ without hesitation."
