Recognizing that many individuals and businesses lack the resources to pay for legal services up front, Bayne, Snell & Krause will accept certain cases on a contingent fee basis, meaning the client is not required to pay any fees or expenses unless a recovery is obtained. Regardless of whether representation is on an hourly or contingent basis, we pride ourselves in providing high quality, aggressive and diligent representation of our clients.

David Clay Snell is the best attorney we have ever had. He helped us win a very difficult slip and fall wrongful death lawsuit. He was very professional, had us use Zoom for meetings before we had one with the mediator. There were 5 of us with 2 or 3 siblings who had to travel for business. He was very organized, great at explaining the importance of the mediator and what to expect. His office manager greeted us when we went to his office and paid attention to all of our needs making sure we were taken care of. I wish I could remember her name.

Working with Attorney David Clay Snell was not what I was used to. Clay was awesome! We had a slip and fall wrongful death lawsuit between 5 siblings. Clay had us meet using zoom to make sure we were able to communicate with the mediator later on. He made sure to include dates and times as 2 siblings did quite a bit of traveling. His office manager was very organized, thoughtful, and helpful. I can't remember her name but she greeted us as we came in. Although these types of cases are hard to prove, we won our case. If I ever have need of an attorney again, he's the one I hope to have a contract with. Thanks very much!

Clay represented me in a recently settled case. He was always responsive and attentive to my questions and concerns but more importantly compassionate about my situation. Before now, I have never been involved in something like this and he made the whole process comfortable for me. I am so glad that Clay was in my court during this ordeal.
