Because I have had a run-in with my local police in the past about defending the life of a third party, I was concerned about police trying to find a way to charge me when I had to defend myself with a knife last night. I called the Emergency number so that I could avoid a "why didn't you call us" conversation later. After I was connected to Howard Snader, he listened to my account of the event that transpired as well as the incident from my past. He assured me that I did the right thing by calling and he checked in on me this morning to make sure I was still a free man. I let him know that assailant had been arrested last night and he is also on an ICE HOLD.
Response from the owner:Thank you for sharing your experience, John. We understand how stressful and uncertain situations like that can be, especially when prior experiences add additional concern. We’re proud Howard was able to provide immediate guidance, reassurance, and follow-up when it mattered most. Having trusted legal support in critical moments is exactly why we do what we do. We’re grateful for your trust and are glad you’re safe.
