About William
Throughout his professional and personal life, Bill Snowden has epitomized a “never-say-quit” blue-collar ethic that not only resonates with his colleagues and clients but remains a daily inspiration at De Oppresso Liber Law. The son of an educator, Bill and his family found themselves frequently transferred to school districts throughout the United States. From Alabama to North Carolina, to Texas and Delaware. Not surprisingly, as a child growing up, Bill experienced firsthand the financial, domestic, and emotional upheavals of both his father’s employment and itinerate lifestyle. At an early age, Bill decided he could only help himself and others by meeting challenges head-on with hard work and inexhaustible determination. The path to his current success was not easy. Bill began his college career at Texas Wesleyan where his physical prowess earned him on spot on the Basketball Team…until injuries ended the dream. Bill, with his characteristic self-effacing wit, is quick to attribute the conclusion of his basketball career simply to “The Coach got tired of everyone dunking over me!”; nonetheless, three back surgeries later, Bill remained ever faithful to his goals. Returning to the East Coast, he worked full time in the seafood industry, lived at his parent’s house, and attended school with a full-course load at the University of Delaware, graduating with his Bachelor degree in 1997. Shortly thereafter, his Mother was struck by a fatal bout of pancreatic cancer and soon afterward, his Dad was invalided by open-heart surgery. Again, this only cemented Bill’s determination. He continued to attend to his self-imposed duties as family caretaker and, living at home to assist the family.
Hard work and schooling have always gone hand-in-hand with Bill. Landing a job with managerial responsibilities at First USA Bank, his talent, determination, and “can-do” attitude earned him both job promotions and eventually, admission to Law School. Bill continued to “pay-his-own way” not only remaining employed while obtaining his legal education but earning a much-coveted spot as a Member of Roger Williams School of Law Trial Team. After graduation, he passed the New Jersey Bar and began the practice of law in 2006. After meeting his future wife, Dr. Monica Snowden, the family decided to move with their daughter, to the beautiful mountains of Northern New Mexico where they live today.
Since 2012 and his admission to the New Mexico Bar, Bill has excelled in a wide variety of legal disciplines. After a stint at the New Mexico Public Defender, Mr. Snowden established his “Back East” reputation as a no-nonsense litigator, obtaining not only numerous jury trial acquittals but because of his incomparable pretrial preparations, work ethic, and strong negotiation skills, innumerable Pre-Trial Dismissals. He continues to practice before the Criminal Bar as both a Defense Attorney and an occasional Contract Prosecutor, participating as Lead Counsel in all manner of serious felonies to include Murder, Vehicular Homicide, Sexual Assault, and Drug Trafficking. His success at DUI Defense has made him the “go-to-guy” in all the jurisdictions in which he regularly practices. In addition, Bill has served as a Court-appointed Guardian ad Litem, representing children removed from their homes because of Abuse and Neglect, and continues to litigate all manner of Civil Disputes from Landlord-Tenant to Personal Injury.
Mr. Snowden employs a goal-oriented, perseverance approach to his representation. Taking a chapter from his own life, he likes to quote Albert Einstein: “It’s not that I am so smart, it’s just that I stay with problems longer!”
