Dietrich L. Snell

Exceptional white-collar defense counsel during a complex investigation

Our company retained Dietrich Snell of Proskauer Rose when we faced a federal inquiry related to pandemic-era relief programs. From our first meeting, his deep expertise in white-collar criminal defense was evident. He leveraged his extensive background, including his recognition by Best Lawyers, to provide a clear and strategic assessment of our precarious situation. Mr. Snell’s analysis was incisive, particularly his understanding of the novel legal challenges posed by COVID-19-related regulations. His team conducted a meticulous internal review and crafted compelling submissions to the authorities, which ultimately led to a favorable resolution without charges. While his billing rates reflect his stature and the firm's prestige, which is understandable, there were occasional delays in receiving follow-up communications from junior staff, requiring a nudge. That said, having Mr. Snell’s seasoned judgment—honed over his long career since graduating from Yale Law—at the helm was invaluable. He is a formidable advocate who inspires confidence during the most stressful professional crises.
