BEST OF THE BEST!

I cannot say enough about Kris Snow's dedication, perseverance, and professionalism. For nearly seven years, he has been in the trenches with me, navigating one of the most complex, emotionally exhausting, and drawn-out divorce cases imaginable. In all that time, Kris has never wavered - fighting for... my rights with an unwavering commitment that made me feel truly supported every step of the way. His attention to detail is unmatched, his knowledge of the law is exceptional, and his strategic thinking has consistently been in my best interest. Beyond his legal skill, Kris has shown a level of compassion and humanity that you rarely find in this field - listening when I needed to be heard, explaining every step in clear terms, and encouraging me through some of the most difficult moments of my life. It is rare to find an attorney who can combine fierce advocacy with genuine empathy, but Kris embodies both. He has been my advocate, my shield, and my voice in moments when I felt powerless. Thanks to his relentless work, I have confidence that my future is on solid ground. If you are looking for an attorney who will stand by you no matter how long or difficult the fight, who will treat your case with the seriousness it deserves, and who will never stop fighting for you - look no further. Kristofer Snow is truly one of a kind!!!

Knowledgeable and Skilled Lawyer

Kristofer represented me very effectively. He took the time to listen and walk me through the process of divorce. He is very good at strategizing and adapting as needed. We ended up settling in a 10 mediation session mainly by my choice due to some verbal abuse my children were going through with ...there mom. I am fully confident that in court we would have ended up doing very well. Thank you for your hard work and commitment to helping me in my awful situation.

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!

Amazing Job!!!

Kris was such an amazing person, to start off i got served with papers on a Saturday and i need to respond within 10 days. I called the office on Monday to schedule a consultation with Kris and the assistant was very nice and was able to explain thru phone just a little of what probably i got served ...with. After i scheduled the consultation with Kris for Wednesday. On Wednesday kris explained with detail of what needed to be done. He was advising me with what i should do and not do. I proceeded him for hire and right away he started telling me what he needed. Prior to this hearing i had a hearing and so Kris needed the previous paper work so he took his personal time to go to the court house and request the paper work, unfortunately he was unable to get any because my case was sealed. The fact that he took the time to go and get my paper work made me see that i was not just paying for a lawyer but for someone who really cares about my case. Not a lot of lawyers do that, especially my previous one. Kris had only 5 days to get all my paper work together and kept in contact with me at all time and would send me receipts and work thru email. My court arrived on Tuesday the 20th and let me tell you Kris defended my case like no other person had. He was on the case, explaining to the judge everything and correcting the opposing party. The outcome was that i partially go what i wanted, not because of Kris but because it was a decision from the judge and what i wanted was sole custody but how Kris said we need to take baby steps and see what time has to offer and if everything continues to be the same with my daughter then i will def. be seeing Kris again for round 2 and i know this time i will get what i want. Even tho i didn't get the sole custody because of the judge rule i am very happy with the out come. I highly recommend coming to Kris he will get the job done well and how it's supposed to be.
