Could Not Recommend Him Enough
Brent was timely, communicative, and put things into terms I could understand. He kept me informed on any updates regarding my case and answered any questions I had promptly. I could not recommend him enough! Thank you, Brent!

Wrongfully garnished assistance.
I give a 5 star rating just because it goes no higher! I contacted Brent due to a debt collection company wrongfully garnishing my wages. I had previously been garnished and went before a Judge for a slow pay case only to be informed, by the Judge, the judgement/garnishment was not against me and dropped the case. Fast forward almost 2 years and said debt collection company garnished my wages, again, against Judge's order. After contacting Brent he went right to work to get the resolution that was best for me. He worked very diligently and stayed the course updating me often and each step of the way. Hands down a very positive experience in a negative situation. Brent is experienced, knowledgeable and I highly recommend him!

Very pleased with Brent.....
Brent was very prepared, competent and always available when I needed to contact him. My case was somewhat standard but there were still many questions/details that required his continuing help; and, he answered my calls or called back within a few hours that same day. That was a big deal for me, having that attentive access to him. I also felt confident with his many years experience within the Bankruptcy courts. In addition, Brent is a really friendly and smart guy with a great sense of humor; which, made him so easy to work with. I highly recommend Brent Snyder to any future clients. Philip Hessberg

Expert, approachable, efficient
I would, without hesitation, recommend Attorney Snyder to anyone looking to declare bankruptcy. His expertise and approachable manner helped to simplify and streamline the process of declaring, turning a formidable task into something almost as simple as it was necessary, and to help me to gain perspective on my financial situation following an unfortunate accident, and I dearly appreciate it.

The best!
Brent was wonderful to work with! He made a very stressful and overwhelming situation seem like it was nothing at all. He took the weight of the world off my shoulders and I am so thankful to him for his help. I would definitely recommend seeking his guidance to anyone going through a similar situation.

Highly Recommend
I highly recommend speaking with Mr. Snyder if you are considering a bankruptcy, he is very knowledgeable, friendly and easy to talk to. I was not at all familiar with the process but he took the time to explain how it works and answer all my questions.

Brent is the BEST!
I highly recommend Brent Snyder! He’s knowledgeable, efficient, easy to talk to, and made the entire process stress free for me. Before finding Brent, I met with another law firm but left that attorney feeling unsure, hesitant, and stuck. When I sent the attorney follow-up questions, my email was forwarded to an attorney I had never met before. That attorney advised something entirely different than the first attorney had, even though they were from the same firm. It was very confusing. On the other hand, from beginning to end Brent was the only attorney who handled my case. He was informative, thorough and clear when explaining the process, as well as what important meetings/dates would happen next. When I left his office, I knew my case was in good hands. He filed my case with the court at the end of March and it was discharged by the beginning of July. A huge, stressful burden has been taken off my shoulders thanks to Brent!

Customer, consumer protection
I can’t even begin to say how thankful and grateful I am for Brent’s assistance with my debt issues. He went above and beyond to provide resolution to my concerns. He acted fast, in a very timely manner to put my mind at ease. His accomplishments, resolution, and communication are stellar. He was highly recommended to me, and I will definitely refer him to all of my family and friends who are encountering bankruptcy issues. He is literally cream of the crop and I will recommend him to future potential clients. I wish I could rate him higher than 100%, because I would. Thank you, Brent. You are truly an amazing bankruptcy attorney.

Brent Snyder is an AMAZING attorney!
Brent knows his stuff!! He’s an amazing attorney & person. Even the judge was impressed with Brent and commented several times he’s never seen issues like this come up before. I liked that he kept me informed through the whole process, which took almost a year due to Covid, and was upfront about everything. Unlike some attorneys I’ve worked with before Brent always got back to me one way or another - through emails, phone calls or texts. I am so glad I chose Brent Snyder to represent me and will not hesitate to recommend him to anyone!

Absolutely incredible!
Absolutely incredible! I just can’t say enough good things about Brent! He just handled a situation for me. He was very kind and considerate and helped me in every way he could because I am disabled. He took care of the case in my favor, and he was the most prompt attorney I have ever seen! He was very quick to return a phone call and email and let you know what was going on every step of the way. I am so happy with him And I just cannot recommend him enough! He was a joy to work with and I was so pleasantly surprised because I had such dread!

Personable, smart man.
Brent took away any fear I had about bankruptcy. It was a smooth process and not as scary as I had thought. Brent was comforting and got the job done in a good time frame.

A+ Brent is awesome
Brent made the whole bankruptcy smooth as silk. I literally didn’t have to do anything but answer a few questions and sign a couple papers. My friend filed with another lawyer in town and she said they made her feel like a bad person for filing. Brent was super supportive and not at all judgmental. Thanks again Mr. Snyder
