Barb Snow, Esq.

Snow Criminal Defense, LLC

Background: Barbara (Barb) A. Snow has practiced criminal law for thirteen of her fifteen years as a licensed attorney. She has practiced criminal defense at the trial, appellate and postconviction levels, representing clients in cases spanning the gamut of alleged crimes that include homicide, sexual assault, assault, drug possession and distribution, kidnapping, theft and fraud. Her philosophy in representing clients accused of committing crimes and clients convicted of crimes is simple: A person’s liberty is God-given, so the government’s efforts to limit that liberty and the other rights associated with it must be countered with zealous and compassionate representation.

Legal Experience: Prior to entering private practice, Attorney Snow was an active duty Judge Advocate (JAG) in the United States Army. Attorney Snow was also an Army Reserve JAG for three years following her active duty time. She has obtained various forms of legal relief for a number of her clients. Attorney Snow’s criminal defense experience is rounded out by her time as a military prosecutor and Special Assistant to the United States Attorney (SAUSA). As a prosecutor, Attorney Snow represented the government in a number of criminal trials and worked closely with criminal investigators (including military and local civilian criminal investigators and FBI agents) in cases she was prosecuting and on which she was advising military commanders. In her capacity as a SAUSA, Attorney Snow represented the government in prosecuting misdemeanor offenses in magistrate court.

Bar Admissions and Licensure: Attorney Snow is admitted to practice law in Connecticut state courts and in Colorado state courts, and she is admitted to practice in the Court of Appeals for the Armed Forces, the Army Court of Criminal Appeals and the Navy-Marine Corps Court of Criminal Appeals. She is also admitted to the U.S. Supreme Court. Her Connecticut and Colorado bar licenses qualify her to represent Service Members in military appeals courts. Attorney Snow received her license to practice law from the State of Connecticut in October 2005 and her license to practice law from the State of Colorado in August 2015. Attorney Snow does not currently represent individuals in the Connecticut state court system.
