Daniel B Snellings Jr., Esq.
About
Dan Snellings was born in Picayune, Mississippi and grew up in Vero Beach, Florida. Growing up, he spent afternoons at his father’s law office, where a framed transcript of trial attorney George G. Vest’s “Eulogy of the Dog” – a powerful closing argument about the wrongful killing of a client’s dog – instilled an admiration for the justice achievable through clear and persuasive advocacy.
Dan graduated from Tulane University in New Orleans, Louisiana with degrees in Business Management and Communication, and a minor in Legal Studies, before moving to Baton Rouge to attend Louisiana State University’s law school.
In law school, Dan was active in LSU’s trial advocacy competitions; he spent a summer semester studying in Lyon, France; and he was a member of LSU’s National Environmental Law Moot Court team. He also received two CALI Excellence for the Future Awards before graduating with his Juris Doctor, Diploma in Comparative Law, and Graduate Certificate in Energy Law and Policy.
Dan then moved to Maryland, where he had the privilege of serving as the Honorable Martin H. Schreiber II’s inaugural law clerk in the Circuit Court for Baltimore City. As a law clerk, Dan worked closely with Judge Schreiber on both criminal and civil matters, ranging from motions hearings to homicide trials.
Following his clerkship, Dan practiced law for two years with a respected small firm in Baltimore, focused on civil litigation. Dan has represented his clients in business disputes, contract and fraud cases, will and estate caveats, appeals, tax foreclosures, divorces, real property matters, and landlord-tenant litigation.
