Lake Mary attorney recognized for leadership, trauma-informed advocacy, and advancing client-centered personal injury representation
| 07/08/2026 | LAKE MARY, FL – Snedaker Law is proud to announce that Founder and Managing Partner Shannon Snedaker has been named one of Florida Trend's 2026 Legal Elite NOTABLE Managing Partners, recognizing her leadership, innovation, and lasting contributions to Florida's legal profession.
Published in the July issue of Florida Trend, the annual Legal Elite NOTABLE Managing Partners list honors just 119 managing partners statewide whose leadership extends far beyond managing a law firm. Honorees are selected for their strategic vision, professional excellence, mentorship, and meaningful impact on both the legal profession and the communities they serve.
For Snedaker, the recognition reflects a career dedicated to changing how personal injury clients experience the legal system.
Alongside fellow Managing Partner Tim Snedaker, Shannon has helped guide the firm's continued growth while fostering a culture centered on service, collaboration, and putting clients first. She has helped build the firm's reputation around a trauma-informed approach that recognizes the lasting psychological effects many injury victims experience after life-altering events. By integrating compassion with aggressive legal advocacy, Snedaker has helped redefine what client-centered representation looks like while mentoring attorneys and educating legal professionals throughout Florida on the importance of understanding trauma in litigation.
"This recognition is incredibly meaningful because it represents the values our entire team strives to uphold every day," said Snedaker. "Leading a law firm isn't simply about achieving successful outcomes—it's about building a culture that puts people first. Whether it's our clients, our employees, or our community, we believe every person deserves to be treated with compassion, dignity, and respect."
Beyond the courtroom, Snedaker has become a respected voice on trauma-informed legal practice, speaking at legal conferences, educational programs, and professional organizations across Florida. Through her consulting initiative, The Trauma Attorney, she works with plaintiff attorneys nationwide to help them better understand the effects of trauma on survivors and injury victims, offering guidance on deposition preparation, witness communication, testimony strategy, and trauma-informed litigation practices. Her work equips legal teams to recognize how trauma impacts memory, communication, and behavior—ultimately leading to stronger advocacy, more authentic client storytelling, and better outcomes for survivors and injured clients.
Under her leadership, Snedaker Law has continued to expand its community impact through education, advocacy, and strategic partnerships while remaining committed to its guiding philosophy:
Putting the PERSONAL in Personal Injury.
