Timothy Snyder

What prompted me to focus on this area of the law? I encountered several clients who had been given incorrect advice about how to handle student loan problems. I then encountered students that needed help but had been quoted hourly rates that put help beyond their reach. 

Finally, I had an experience where I tried to refer someone to a talented attorney in a larger law firm. It was like I was trying to reach the president of a major corporation. I got bounced around from secretary to secretary and never actually got through.

I think my job is to make the world a better place and, if possible, to make you feel less stressed in the process. Phone trees, fine print, corporations where I can’t reach the person I need to talk to, these are things that definitely don’t make me feel less stressed.
