City Attorney: Dave Snyder, Johnson Turner Law

Dave’s clients know they have a reliable friend and a fierce advocate for an attorney. They are well served by his depth of experience in the industry and the fresh perspective he brings. In the office we jokingly wonder if he’s ever not on the phone with a client. Between that high level of communication and his exceptional legal skills, it’s no surprise his clients are so loyal.
