During my time of distress due to family issues, Snader law group was there to assist me and relieve some stress. The firm worked together as a whole, representing me as a team rather, than a single person working my case. This was valuable to me because in legal and highly important matters, it is important to tackle the situation from multiple angles. When it comes to money value, it really depends on how much each person values their case. I found their pricing to be reasonable as they have fixed hourly rates but, they charge them as a they go, in minute based increments (resulting in less fees

We spoke to this guy after we got a letter in the mail as he was soliciting his services. He has some decent experience but dry and bland and not much of a personality. We felt he maybe was capable but we didn't like his low energy. We read other places reviews but we chose not to go here.

I received an unsolicited letter from them stating I had been arrested and soliciting for their legal services. I have never been arrested. I called to ask why I received this letter and what their source of information for my supposed “arrest” was. With my name and address information, which was on their letter, they couldn’t give me the information. They wanted my birthday to supposedly look it up. I wasn’t about to give that to them. They sent the letter. Shouldn’t they be able to state the source of the information they used to send it? Or are they just blanketing the populace in

I filled out the online form. And withing 24 hours I got an email with an hourly quote and a phone call regarding price. I only received hourly rate I should of asked what the retainer was? Usually around 5k is what I found out after talking to other attorneys. Quick response.

Sat through a 40 minute sales pitch to be given unrealistic expectations of whats going to happen. Saying their goal is to have my case dismissed and they give you this giant sales pitch so they can hit with "WE CAN DO ALL THIS FOR AN INVESTMENT OF $7,450" ridiculous.

This place is a scam and over charge for the services. If you want to end up with a result you could have obtained yourself. Maria and Haydee are terrible and would not acknowledge any concerns. During the year I had retained this firm they changed my representation a total of 4 times and the information being given was not consistent. One of the attorneys would talk about herself and what she has done during time I was being billed for. Any time I brought up a concern Maria would just say they can just withdraw as my legal team if I'm that unhappy. This was after I owed them a lot of money

Howard Snader is a very conscientious and-working man. I have never had to use his services (thank goodness) but I do know people that have and he did a great job!
Howard’s extensive knowledge of the law and exceptional defense abilities really get the job done.
He always says his card is the one to have that you actually hope you never have to use. I know who I will call if I’m ever in a jam Snader Law group!

Not revealing my name due to privacy & safety. But let me advise you to NEVER trust this law firm. They take your money without providing an itemized receipt as to WHAT they are spending it on. They have the audacity to ask for more money without reason, and ALSO falsely claim you will receive your original retainer back once the case is closed. They have you completely in the dark throughout the whole process and always fail to return your phone calls. I understand they’re probably busy scamming multiple people everyday, but I’m also a very busy hard working person. So when I call and am promised

Don't hire these guys unless you want to be ripped off and have your case ignored.

If you are still considering hiring Snader Law Group, I suggest you read about my experience first:

I retained Snader Law Group on August 24th 2020, to handle a simple custody agreement. It was truly a simple legal matter as my ex-wife and I were in complete agreement about the details of the custody agreement, and our divorce had long since been settled. I retained Snader Law Group because I mistakenly believed I would better served by having an attorney review this custody agreement prior to entering into

Unbelievable!!! My daughter met with an attorney on Thursday January 13, 2020 and was told that because her response was due she would need to pay extra. She paid $5,500 and because she heard from no one 5 days later (today) she called them! NO ONE EVEN LOOKED AT HER CASE!!! I want to report this office to the State Bar of Arizona. I’ve been a paralegal for over 30 years and have NEVER treated a paying client so poorly!! Malpractice to the worst degree!!
Edit: I’ve changed my rating from one star to four. When an actual attorney called my daughter back on Wednesday she was very knowledgeable

I retained Howard almost 1 year ago to the date, I was stressed, anxious and nervous about my felony charge that had gone through the courts and was dropped to a misdemeanor and then as of yesterday was informed that my case had been dismissed!!! Howard and his team were professional, gave good advice over the past year and worked well with me communicating and a payment plan so I could be properly represented. I would highly recommend him for anyone who needs a great defense attorney and is very knowledgeable. I also wanted to add that when the initial plea was offered he agreed with me to not

Despicable law firm. They send out form letters offering a free case review saying you have been arrested (or a family member) for a criminal act. Those letters also reference "public records", despite it being completely false. And, when you call asking about it, they can't pull up any concrete information, and tell you to call the courts. In my opinion, completely unethical practices.

Howard Snader has been defending a family member and doing a good job case is not over yet so no comments until it's over regarding the court. If you live in Arizona you MUST READ HIS BOOK "BUSTED" it will educate you on Police and their tactics and the court system and how they will deal with YOU! You may find that it is shocking what can happen to YOU!
The book is easy reading and very interesting!

When apposing council uses your attorney's name as a verb, you know you've got the right one. You'll know when they have been Snaderized.
If your "friend" has been contacted by the police, "they" should contact a great attorney.
If you think they need his help, they might - call him to find out.
Howard has the experience you need when you really need help.
