Damien Snow is conscientious, professional, and dependable.

I have worked with Damien multiple times in the past five years as he is my go-to business attorney. When I first started working with Damien, he assisted me with all of the legal documents necessary with incorporating my company, Natural Kidz, Inc. As a result of his professionalism, I hired him ...again two years later to help incorporate my second company, Kandon Unlimited, Inc. Within the past five years, Damien has assisted me legally in a variety of ways and I am extremely grateful for his expertise and professionalism. From NDAs and Privacy Policies, to Collaboration Agreements and Shareholder Agreements, Damien been an integral part in ensuring my businesses are legally secure. Most recently, he assisted with negotiating one of Kandon Unlimited's Shareholder Agreements. Because Damien has shown me that he has a genuine desire to understand me as a person and the work that I do, I have felt 100% secure working with him and trusting him with my most sensitive information. I am an entrepreneur who has taken tremendous risks to live my dreams and create opportunities for others. Working with a conscientious, professional, and dependable business attorney is important to me. Damien is a man of integrity and I recommend him without hesitation. I am grateful for Damien, and I am sure we will be working together for many years to come.

Trusts lawyer | Jun 20

Relationship: Opposing Counsel on matter

"I've found Mr. Snow to be one of those rare 'sane' probate litigators. He's measured, circumspect, responsive and very easy to work with. Unlike so many shrill, posturing attorneys who escalate matters beyond the point of no return, Mr. Snow has thus far proven himself eminently reasonable and fair, all which greatly inure to the benefit of his client."
