Snyder Law Makes it Easy!
My wife and I recently worked with Kevin, Carolyn and Hannah at Snyder Law. Top notch professionals and really took the time to walk us through the process. We are neophytes at this point, but are rapidly getting a good picture of what a solid family trust should look like. Can't thank them enough...

I spoke to Carolyn, who runs the office and is also the wife of Mr. Snyder. Carolyn stated that the appointment was going to be in Mr. Snyder’s office for 90 minutes and al...

Replied last May 30, 2018I am sorry to hear about your negative experience. We operate a family business and pride ourselves on integrity and our dedication to our clients and their families. We strive to always provide the best experience and standout customer service, so it is important to know when someone feels we missed the mark. In reviewing your comments, it seems the our advertisement and explanation about our process may have been unclear. For that we apologize. To clarify, your legal services insurance requires us to ask you questions to verify coverage and that it is current prior to accepting appointments. We offer flexible options for our initial Strategy Meeting for the convenience of our clients including in-office or virtual meetings which is why you may have been given an option for a p hone call. Our pricing is transparent and nothing is hidden and the option to pay online is available for convenience but never required in advance. I do not know the parish to which you belong, but we accurately advertise in our church bulletin and the other surrounding church bulletins as local parishioners. Thank you for your feedback and our sincere hope is that you find an attorney who is a better fit for you

"I had the pleasure of being in the same training class as Mr. Snyder when we were first hired on by the Orange County Public Defender's Office. I knew from the start that Kevin was going to be a star in the office, and I was not wrong. He is undoubtedly one of the hardest working public defenders in the office, and he will surely be on the letterhead there someday. We were assigned to juvenile delinquency together, and he clearly cared very deeply for every one of his young clients. I remember watching him in trial as he defended a young man accused of some rather serious acts, and he did an amazing job, making particularly good use of an expert witness he retained to testify about how children's memories function. He had a very delicate, kind, and effective way of dealing with very young child witnesses. Mr. Snyder has an L.L.M. in Trial Advocacy, and it has clearly paid dividends for him. If I or a loved one were ever in trouble, I would feel very fortunate to have him as my lawyer."
