What could have been a rather daunting experience was actually quite simple, thanks to the patience, kindness, and efficiency of Kevin, Carolyn, and Grace. Our inquiries were met with detailed explanations, our emails were answered promptly, and, ultimately, we concluded our estate planning with the (extremely comforting) knowledge that we've done everything possible to ensure that our children will not encounter a potential legal snafu in the future. I highly recommend Snyder Law. read more

After procrastinating way too long to get our family estate planning handled, we decided to finally get it done. I wanted to make sure my surviving family would not have the difficult issues I had experienced when my parents passed. I researched quite a few estate planning attorneys and settled on Snyder Law. Every review I read about Snyder Law was very complimentary. I wanted to be sure we felt comfortable with the people we work with since they will be handling all of our assets. I must say, we definitely made the right choice. From the first contact call to the final meetings, the entire staff has been one of the most professional and caring teams I have worked with. Every person in the office was so welcoming and accommodating. The process itself was thorough and explained so that any person could understand. Every detail was covered and explained in simple terms. Trust me, there are a lot of items that have to be covered to make sure nothing was missed. If we had a question, Kevin and his team made sure we understood the details. This office knows their business and truly cares about their clients. I highly recommend Snyder Law to take care of you and your family when it comes to securing your assets. They truly made a complicated process into a seamless one. read more

Folks that are considering getting organized about protecting your family's health and resources because it sounds good...but like most things it seems complicated and overwhelming, this is for you. Now that you already know it's right, because you are responsible about mitigating risk and the feeling in your gut is having you look for sound family & estate planning - it's now time for the hard part, choosing a trusted advisor. Situation: I called Snyder Law from the delivery room of Hoag Hospital, with the birth of our second child, I got the haunting feeling that no matter what, we had to protect the welfare of these (2) very young children, with us in the world or out. I wasn't freaking out...but I was definitely freaking out. I called Synder and spoke to Hannah, their legal assistant (who was amazing), and was immediately passed to Carolyn, Kevin's wife. The profound professionalism for which she handled my questions on the call, along with the jest of my environment (no one had ever called from the delivery room), made the conversation fun and credible. I knew this was the right team to help me and my wife navigate. Planning: We had a pre-call with Kevin before our design meeting, in "design meeting" I mean a white boarding session of what exactly the heck all of this is about (let's be real, we had no clue), and he solidified our first impressions of the credibility and professionalism of their office - Kevin was extremely empathetic and wanted to make sure our goals and purpose for his services and our relationship was aligned for mutual benefit, while developing a long term ecosystem of trust and empathy that we can profit from for years to come. We discussed pricing and services, it was very clear and aligned perfectly to the expectations that we had, while also integrating into new perspectives explained eloquently by Kevin. He had our deepest concerns and wellbeing in mind as we discussed the contractural elements of how his office could engage. We had legal insurance (ARAG) through my employer, but the costing was extremely fair and far worth the exceptional service offered by Kevin per our call. Our preliminary meeting was great - the office is in Irvine, a quick drive, and my wife and I really enjoyed the subtleties of their family run boutique law office. WARNING. If you are NOT an attorney, do drink some coffee before your meeting. If anything impressed me more than the granular detail and highly esoteric nature of estate planning law that Kevin maintained, it was the sheer volume of legal jujitsu that you must reasonably understand (or be patient through) - I realized how thankful in that instant I was to hire Kevin, as I listened to him excitedly recite our strategy, in endearing monotone. (Nicely done Kevin!) Our 3rd meeting was a "signing meeting", where met again to confirm our plan, names, logistics, and of course sign documents. I immediately felt like we had welcomed a new group of people into our family. Conclusion: I would refer anyone that I cared about, who I knew cared for the welfare of their family, legacy, and wellbeing, to immediately see Kevin and Carolyn. After we had signed, and even throughout, my wife and I felt INCREDIBLY safe and comfortable, in that we had poured a bullet proof foundation to develop upon, as we continue our lives and build new ones for our family. You deserve to feel like no matter what happens to you or loved ones around you, your children and their children, will remember your responsible planning and efforts to protect what you hold most dearest to you now, and in the future. read more

Snyder Law - My wife and I feel so happy, safe, and responsible, knowing the financial and family lives of our children are protected. - Wills, Trusts, & Probates Near Me - Irvine, California

My wife and I were recommended Snyder Law by a trusted friend/Insurance agent for our will and trust. We were reluctant to begin the process but knew the horror stories about people who experience an untimely death in the family and quickly harden the situation with lack of preparation and probate. It's simply a disaster story if you let it be. We have two small kids, normal assets and a growing family business in the mix. Kevin and his team Carolyn and Hannah were a joy to work with. The process was made clear and simple and the only hang up was our selves in getting some small 'homework' compete. Tough question that evoked real emotions were respectfully addressed and advised upon. I even came up with some straight up crazy hypotheticals yet none stumped Kevin. With each and every meeting I tried to think of more crazy hypotheticals, as if I was writing the script to a great murder romance movie. Kevin has the answers. All in all we got through it with a few polite nudges and we now feel feel good that when and if the worst happens, our children will be cared for as per our wishes and everything else will be sorted out as planned. No unanswered questions. The final product is a very simple and clearly written guide that has been shared with our close family members for ease of use should there be a need. If I had a time machine, I'd have gone Further back in time and contact Kevin and his team and do it all over again. If you don't have this in place you are simply irresponsible and it's time to grow up because foster care for your kids is where they'll go even if grandma is down the street. Probate is where your assets will go even if your survivors are clearly related. Do it for yourself, do it for your loved ones. read more

Highly recommend Snyder Law! read more

Kevin and Carolyn are a pleasure to work with. Both are very knowledgeable when it comes to building your trust and having a plan in place to protect my kids. I will always remember what Kevin told me, "Either you follow your own plan or the government's." The process to build my own trust and guardianship took about 1 month. Everything that was presented to me was ultra professional and well written. Kevin knows his stuff. I feel a lot better that my kids would be in the right hands if something were to happen to me and my wife. No way am I going to trust the government to have my kids interests at hand! Kevin took the time to listen and does a lot of work to customize your plan. I am glad that I was able to find such a competent and caring attorney. The rates charged by Kevin were 100% fair and the process was fairly painless. Just make sure you do your "homework" before you go to the design meeting. That means talking to your spouse and having a decision so you don't have to waste time and wing it at the design meeting. read more

My wife and I have been talking about getting an estate plan for quite some time. But it was one of those things that we put off, always making excuses of how busy we were. At one point, I started using Legal Zoom, but I had far too many questions in my mind to feel comfortable going this route. Finally, we made a commitment to get something done. I scoured the listings in the ARAG directory for an attorney in my area. I researched a number of different firms and finally settled on Snyder Law. Why in the world did we wait so long??? We couldn't have picked a better estate planning team. Kevin, Carolyn, and Hannah are terrific. I can't imagine the process going smoother. I especially appreciated Kevin's hands-on approach...From the initial 1+ hour get-to-know-each-other conference call to the final signing meeting, with a very informative planning session in between. Thank you Snyder Law! read more

Kevin and his team built my will and trust. He was referred to me by my brother who also went to him for the same services. You never know what's going to happen, so preparation to make it easier on your fam in the event something happens is key. Kevin was well versed in this area and made this process very easy. We did everything electronically and by phone, then all I had to do was go in for the signing. His team was professional and I highly recommend this office. read more

My wife and I were very pleased with the service that Kevin, Carolyn and Hannah gave us during the preparation of our living trust. They have an organized process for trust preparation, which was helpful to us in gathering the required information for the document. Kevin walked us through each of the major decisions we would need to make, and was good about giving explanations of the pros/cons of the various alternatives. The final trust package was thorough and Hannah took time to explain each of the main sections to us. Overall, Kevin and his team were very professional and enjoyable to work with.

The team at Snyder Law is so helpful! Very happy with my experience as their client.

The idea of creating a trust for our family made perfect sense but the reality of it seemed overwhelming until Snyder Law not only walked us through the process but also ensured we made it to the finish line. I appreciated the instruction given, knowledge shared, and extra assistance given to make sure we were well informed. Not to mention the timeline used by Snyder Law to guarantee we completed the task in an efficient manner. In short, I highly recommend Snyder Law. read more

My civil attorney gave us a referral to this business. I was given the responsibility to restructure the family trust with my mother as requested by my father before he passed away. This Attorney acted indigent and needy from the beginning 1/3 money up front after very very brief sales pitch where we discussed a logical plan for restructuring our trust. After we payed the 1/3 the attorney went about designing a horrible impractical solution to our families needs and began authoring a educational trust for blue collar family without any future academics, as if he was designing a Trust for his own family. Next we are to split assets in equal portions and sell off the family home. This attorney has perverted sense of family values and fairness to appease the laws in place that control Trusts in California. If anyone challenges the worthless weak paper Trusts he sells everything is in compliance with what the State of California bad laws tell families what to do with there assets. I tried to consult this attorney about asset protection trusts so our family can do what our father had asked us to do with his Estate, not what the State of California's unconstitutional laws tell us to do. Attorney answered he does not know how to do Asset Protection Trusts. Attorney sells worthless trusts with everything split in equal portions, forces the sale of your estate and authors in his forced college plan for your family. If a Contingency Trust Attorney challenges your Snyder Law Trust on behalf of a family member everything is equal therefore the original Trust survives, but the estate is forced to comply with the BAD laws in California. We asked for a refund of the 1/3 payment well over a $1300 and were refused. I called my Civil Attorney and stated that we felt sickened by Mr.Synder and his lack of experience and ignorance of profession. My civil attorney explained that Mr. Synder was a former State of California Criminal Attorney and he is now doing Trusts. My civil attorney was not successful and getting at getting a refund from Mr.Synder. My elderly mother was given a good screwing from this attorney. Mr.Synder is Moonlighting as a Trust Attorney and refused to serve my family by claiming ignorance to the laws that control trusts and refused to Structure any type of asset protection trust to grant my fathers wishes as he has done for other clients. We got your message "Follow the governments plan for your estate, not your own plan! "We cant serve you". Bad people, no valuable legal advice here just a sales pitch and a legal screwing and way way way overpriced. Minorities do not take your business to this guy he will refuse to serve you and take your money and attempt sell you worthless paper, they also look at you like your a criminal. I have to agree with the other bad reviews on yelp that it appears their interest is themselves. Bad Attorney will not share his knowledge with clients and will draft a basic cookie cutter trust. Don't do business with these people, they will change the design of your Trust from the initial paid consultation by adding complexity that don't fit with your families needs. Once you pay the 1/3 to create the trust your trapped and they force a bad estate plan on you. If you don't like the plan no changes are allowed. Don't pay them a dime outside a consultation, until they present the finished Trust. GREED!!! Stealing from the elderly. No Business Ethics. Shameful individual. Should be disbarred from practice. My Civil attorney who recommended this lawyer refunded my mothers money in full out of his pocket. Mr.Synder has not contacted my civil attorney after repeated attempts. This guy reminds of the Barber in High Plains Drifter, collect all the money up front before any services are rendered. No class, No pedigree. Not a Cultivated Individual. BAD BUSINESS PRACTICES. DONT DO BUSINESS WITH THIS ATTORNEY IF YOUR SMART. read more

Kevin, Jessica, and Carolyn are such a pleasure to work with! I began working with Snyder Law to help with my estate planning. From my initial meeting to the signing of my documents, the entire office was caring, extremely detailed, and responsive with all communications. Every time I visited, they also had a sign with my name on it, welcoming me. Very nice touch! They truly care about their clients and take the time to understand your needs. You will feel like family as soon as you walk into their office. I would recommend this office for all of your estate planning needs. read more

Setting up our trust had been on the back burner for way too long. Finally for business purposes we had to get this done. Snyder Law came highly recommended by our broker and we now understand why! Kevin took the lead. He explained and walked us through everything step by step. Hannah and Carolyn were there behind the scene making the process run all too smoothly! Our deadlines were met with out a hitch. We can now cross this off our list. We look forward to our continued relationship with Snyder Law in the coming years as we tweak/add to our "wagon"! read more

We are working with Snyder Law to establish a Family Trust and, throughout the process, the experience has been incredibly professional, supportive, and educational. We feel a sense of comfort and security working with Kevin, which is incredibly valuable when discussing subjects like untimely death and the uncertainties that can surround inheritance. We were also delighted that Carolyn, Kevin's wife, is part of the practice. Her dedication and thoughtfulness lend a lot of value to the work that Snyder Law executes for us. We couldn't be happier with the decision to work with them and we'd recommend them to anyone reading this review! read more

My husband and I had an amazing experience with Synder Law and are grateful to have found them. Hannah was remarkable--very knowledgable, professional, kind and prepared. They treated us like family and made what could have been a difficult process, very easy. I highly recommend them! read more

Genuinely interested in helping you or themselves? I found this law office through my parish bulletin. I called this office to make a consultation appointment for Estate Planning. 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 also stated the consultation fee. After this call, but before my appointment date, I found out that this law firm was on my legal insurance plan and wanted to give them my member ID # and also know how to proceed. I called the office and spoke to Lola, I gave her my Insurance information, who said Carolyn would call me back. Carolyn called me back and it didn't go well. The original 90 minutes, office consultation turned to now be a phone call with Mr. Snyder. I also felt so crushed to be questioned, how this insurance was acquired and for what purpose and so on. When I first contacted this office and spoke to Carolyn, I had expressed my lack of trust in an attorney firm. Thinking back it was awkward that the bulletin ad stated parishioner and they are not. I also discovered on the email I received that they require full payment for the consultation in advance before your office visit. This was not mentioned to me any time I spoke to Carolyn. This was a really bad experience for me and I hope it doesn't happen to anyone else. read more

Top notch people here. Kind, patient, and incredibly intelligent. Meticulous and thorough. Look no further for expert help. I am a careful person by nature and Kevin was great at taking my wild concerns and rationalizing them into functioning issues and what next the best steps to take were. Trustworthy and smart. I could go on and on...but if you want professional who care, you found your place. read more

We were referred to Snyder Law by our financial planner. Kevin and Carolyn more than delivered. Kevin is super knowledgeable about estate planning. He thought of things we had never even considered. They made the process so easy and enjoyable which is not easy when you're planning for the inevitable. We are so happy and blessed to have found Snyder Law and highly recommend them for any estate planning need. read more

I am surprised this law firm has so many positive reviews. I have to agree with the other review by Miriam that it appears their interest is themselves. I also spoke with Carolyn. It was a total waste of time, very terrible experience. I called for one thing, she kept trying to sell me another entirely different service that I do not need. I tried to find out how much it would cost for something straight forward that my mom needs. She kept trying to sell me will/trust for myself that I already have done after she learned that I have legal plan which doesn't cover for family members. She wanted me to use my legal plan allowance to schedule a full consultation charging me just to tell me the pricing. She refused to give me an estimate for something simple without charging my legal plan and said maybe my case would be cheaper by hourly (even though their own website states "Everything we do is billed on a flat-fee basis, agreed to in advance. No hourly fees. No hidden costs. No surprises." Not the impression I got on the phone....) I then ask how much they charge hourly, she refuse to tell me that too and continue to insist on me scheduling for an one hour appointment. Because of the high previous reviews and location, the law firm would have likely earned my business had they just provided me with an estimate instead of trying to sell me services that I don't need and try to bill me to just get pricing. They definitely lost a business because of Carolyn's tactic. read more

i was looking for a post trust adminstration attorney regarding disposition of trust real estate. i Yelped a few attorneys and Snyder Law was one of the respondents. Attorney Snyder set up a free phone consultation through his website. The meeting was easy to setup and Atty. Snyder called me right on time. I explained my situation and he made a few recommendations, which i will pursue. I have spoken with other attorneys and they all pitch an inital meeting at a cost to the consumer. i really believe Snyder Law Firm is looking out for its clients and potential clients by providing a much needed service and not necessary looking at the bottom line. i highly recommend at least calling Snyder Law and speaking to Kevin Snyder. read more

Kevin and his team helped me to deal with a small accident that brought some serious charges. Him and his team, especially Jessica worked hard to get the charges dropped. Thank You! read more

My wife and i want to thank Kevin and his staff for our estate planning needs. Kevin assisted us with creating our living trust and guardianship plan for our children, and now have a piece of mind knowing that our assets and children are protected. Kevin carefully customized our trust and provided great advice to all our questions/concerns. He followed up to ensure we properly funded our trust, otherwise what's the point of creating a trust if you don't fund it. We're so glad to have met Kevin and his staff, his professionalism, expertise, and advice are second to none. I highly recommend Snyder Law. read more

I would personally like to thank Kevin and his team for doing such an outstanding job with my estate plan.

Big firm-level expertise paired with boutique customer service and personal touch, Kevin & Carolyn Snyder are the best in the biz! I personally work in a parallel industry and encounter many similar professionals, and I can confidently share that my wife and I had an impeccable estate planning experience with Snyder Law. They addressed each and every question thoughtfully and never seemed to "watch the clock" which can be a frustrating experience for many first-time estate planning families. As the estate planning process is one of the most intimate and personal experiences your family will endure, choosing an attorney of the utmost integrity is paramount. I highly recommend you give them a try, you won't be disappointed! read more

I was given a few recommendations by my credit union and I picked this firm because they were the closest. My wife and I could not have been happier with the personnel service we received. We were walked through the Family Trust process and felt totally at home with Kevin and his wife. When it was time to sign the documents, my wife had to call to cancel because I found myself in the hospital for several days. Carolyn and Kevin showed up at the hospital for over an hour to finish the process. When we offered to pay extra for this service, they wouldn't have it. We truly feel that we don't just have an attorney but rather a friend. read more
