Law Firm Overview

Law Offices of Howard A. Snader Phoenix Criminal Defense Lawyer

An arrest on criminal charges can be emotionally devastating. Your livelihood, lifestyle, and your freedom may be at risk. At the Law Offices of Howard A. Snader, I will provide dedicated and aggressive representation in criminal defense.

Experienced and Committed to Achieving Results

For more than 15 years, I have represented clients facing serious misdemeanor and felony charges. As a criminal defense attorney, I always look at what is possible. When a dismissal of charges can be achieved, I work very hard to obtain that dismissal. When a negotiated charge is the best that can be obtained, given the circumstances, I work to achieve the very best plea. When I go to work for a client, my goal is to obtain the very best result possible for the client.

My practice is dedicated to providing experienced, aggressive, and effective criminal defense for persons accused of DUI and related traffic violations, drug crimes, sexual assault and child pornography crimes, domestic violence, white collar crimes, violent crimes, probation violation and appeals matters, and other crimes.

Board Certified as a Criminal Law Specialist

The practice of criminal defense requires unique and special skills. In acknowledgment of this, Arizona's Board of Legal Specialization recognizes a select group of Arizona lawyers for their expertise. These attorneys must meet high standards for professionalism, knowledge, and competence in the practice of criminal law. I have been certified criminal law specialist by the Board since 1995.
