He has also been published in the OC Lawyer magazine multiple times.
Prior to opening Snyder Law, PC, Mr. Snyder worked in a variety of legal disciplines. One of which was as a public defender in Orange County. He has defended countless adults, juveniles, and veterans at all stages criminal court proceedings. He also gained a unique experience working closely with veterans in the Veteran’s Treatment Court.
