Kris is a lifesaver!

Attorney Kris Snow saved my life! Period! Kris has been my attorney working on my divorce case for close to 2 years. My ex-wife unfairly attempted to take sole full custody of my two autistic sons, ages 7 and 5. As a father, and very involved in my boys lives, I was living in daily fear that a ju...dge could side with my wife and make a decision to take my children away from me. Kris was everything I could have asked for in an attorney; ethical, honest, fair, transparent, a master tactician, and always available when I needed him. Because of Kris, I won joint (50/50) legal and physical custody of both my children, which was what I was seeking from day one! My children are my life, I couldn’t imagine the thought of what if this turned out differently! I owe Kris everything, my boys are my life, and Kris, I’ll ever be indebted to you for saving us. Even if we didn’t win, I could never fault Kris, he was there for me every step of the way! To all fathers out there, I live in the state of Utah, a state that is notorious for heavily favoring custody for women. Kris beat these odds! I recommend him to anyone who wants the best in every aspect of your case!

Child custody

Kris did not represent me well at all trying to get me to agree to all of my ex requests without out fighting for me at all using kris as representation my ex ends up taking me to court over 10 times in the past 3 years and all the attorney I'm paying is telling me to agree to things that are not saf...e for my child and I . Please do you homework on these lawyers all they are really about is money and not helping the person who is paying them

I am sorry to hear you have been dissatisfied with my services. I am not going to argue with your perspective on the case and my representation of you though, as you are obviously entitled to your own opinion of my representation. I strive to provide competent and zealous representation to all of my clients and am of the view that I always have. If you would like to request a refund or that a different action than has already been taken on your particular case be pursued, please contact my office and I will be happy to discuss that with you, however, as you do not identify yourself in this review, and for the sake of preserving privacy regarding your particular matter, I am unable to identify your case to address the issue with you pursuant to your negative review on this website.

Excellent, honest, knowledgeable lawyer, who I would hire again

I am so pleased with the services of Kristofer Snow in the Smart Schofield Shorter, P.C. office. I have worked with numerous attorneys in the 16 years that I have been involved with law, and I can count on one hand the number of lawyers that were as confident and helpful as Mr. Snow.  Mr. Snow answer...ed two of my phone calls.  He was incredibly well versed in the law, confident, helpful and most important extremely kind and eager to help me.  I am so pleased with this organization.  This last week I was on zoom with two friends who had legal problems and I recommended Smart Schofield Shorter, P.C. highly because of Mr. Snow.

Best laywer in town

Most fair lawyer I have found. He is very good at what he dose, even before I hired him he was willing to explain to me matters I did not understand and also helped walk me through things that could have made me lose custody of my children. I hired him to help with a protective order put on me that w...as unjust and he won my case in a matter of less than an hour due to how he presented the facts he is honest and will tell it to you strait he puts it in worst case scenario to better explain what could happen and what to expect he prepares his cases in the aspect that you could lose there for your fully prepared on every incident that happens I highly highly recommend having him as a lawyer furthermore I am going to continue to hire him for my divorce he is an amazing lawyer

Amazing Attorney

Kris was the best attorney by far that I have ever used! He knew every detail about my type of case before i even hired him. I had confidence in him from the second that I first had a conversation with him! He took my case as of it were his own and really cared about us that were involved. I felt... like he did everything that he could to direct me in the best way to make sure everything went in my favor! I ended up being able to settle outside of court which was a huge relief and it was all thanks to him! If you are having a family issue as far as custody or family law please consider him. It will be the best decision you have ever made! He’s worth the money!
