About Jeffrey
Biography
I represent companies and executives in employment litigation, administrative board actions, workplace investigations and mediations. I advise companies in their daily operations, focusing on labor law and human resources counseling, sexual harassment and discrimination claims, wage & hour and compensation disputes, severance pay issues and terminations. I've handled many cases involving intellectual property rights (trade secrets), non-compete agreements and restrictive covenants, employment contract disputes, and related insurance coverage issues. I've appeared many times in the California and federal courts, at EEOC, DFEH and the Department of Labor's Division of Labor Standards Enforcement (DLSE).
I have testified as an expert witness regarding executive employment agreements, on the subject of "good cause" for termination.
As a lawyer and a member of the California State Bar, my conduct is regulated by California’s Rules of Professional Conduct. Those rules apply to communications, solicitations and advertising, and also to testimonials and endorsements. The contents of my profile may be considered to be a communication or solicitation under Rule 1-400. Any recommendations, testimonials or endorsements found in my profile do not amount to a guarantee, warranty, or prediction regarding the outcome of any legal matter for which I might be retained, or in which I might become involved.

Jeffrey Alan Snyder's Lawyer Endorsements
"Jeff is an excellent and reasonably priced attorney. I have worked on the same side of a matter as Jeff and on opposite sides. I have also done presentations with Jeff. I highly recommend Jeff."
"Effective, conscientious, well-respected and knowledgeable are just a few of the descriptors that come to mind. I have referred both friends and family to Jeff, confident that they would be well represented."
"Jeff is a member of a rare, dwindling breed of lawyes that deliver high value for his clients. So often I am confronted with large firms who staff projects with inefficient, inexperienced lawyers yet expect to collect a premium fee for services provided by such novices. Not so Jeff. Jeff and his subordinate attorneys deliver the utmost in quality in a timely manner for a reasonable fee. It is extremely refershing to deal with seasoned professionals rather than the big firm "puppy mill" associates so often assigned to our account by other providers."
"Outstanding, intelligent, reasonably-priced, and very effective employment and litigation attorney. Highly recommend."
"Jeff has a great combination of tons of experience and knowledge, plus an uncanny ability to remain calm in any situation. His clients really appreciate his approach."
