"I highly recommend Snyder and Shaw LLP to advocate for your family! Daniel Shaw and Melissa Cummins fought relentlessly for my special needs child’s educational rights. They are fierce advocates who truly care about the families and children that they represent. They fought hard for my child, and obtained an excellent outcome for my baby. They truly went above and beyond for our family. Thank you Snyder and Shaw LLP!!!"

Our Primary Areas Of Focus

Special Education

We specialize in assisting families through the special education process so that they can meet the unique needs of their children. We help develop successful strategies for IEP meetings. We know when and how to file for due process. We will also work hard to negotiate the best possible settlement for you.

Student Civil Rights

Snyder & Shaw represents victims of civil rights violations and personal injury throughout the entire State of California. With a focus on complex litigation we defend victims who have experienced discrimination based on race, gender, age, disability, sexual orientation, national origin, or religion.

Restraint and Abuse

Snyder & Shaw is committed to being the voice for the voiceless. Every year too many special education students are abused at school. In many cases, these students cannot come home and tell their parents what is happening. We are dedicated to becoming the voice for the voiceless and to helping put the pieces back together for our kids.

We are lawyers fighting for people, pursuing justice, and making communities better throughout the entire state of California.
