Jared Patrick Ahern

Firm: Lerner & Rowe Law Group
2701 E. Camelback Rd , Phoenix , Arizona 85016
Practice Areas: Criminal Defense
Jared Ahern was born and raised in Phoenix, Arizona. Jared went straight through all of his schooling without any breaks. Why? Because Jared has always known this was what he was meant to do. Jared worked full time through all of his schooling, graduated with multiple degrees, and graduated with honors.. After high school in Ahwatukee, he attended Barrett, the Honor’s college, at Arizona State University, where he received two degrees in Political Science and Business Legal Studies. The Fall after he completed his undergraduate studies, he began law school at the Sandra Day O’Connor College of Law at Arizona State University.. While in law school, Jared was a part of the school’s Lodestar Mediation Clinic where he focused heavily on alternative dispute resolution strategies. Jared then clerked for a civil litigation firm for a year where he spent most of his time involved in motion practice and arbitration. Jared’s work at that firm assisted in the settlement of claims totaling over $1 million.. After passing the bar exam and receiving his license, Jared quickly transitioned into criminal defense. He worked at a small defense firm focusing heavily on DUI defense and other vehicular crimes. Jared left that firm after several years and joined the team at DM Cantor. Jared took a brief hiatus, and lived in Oklahoma for just over a year. Upon returning to Arizona, he joined the team at Lerner & rowe Law Group. He focuses primarily on vehicular and felony criminal defense.

Howard Snader

Firm: Arizona Law Group
202 East Earll Drive , Phoenix , Arizona 85012
Practice Areas: Criminal Defense , Domestic Violence
Born and raised in Arizona, I grew up loving the practice of law.  There is something about the competitive nature of law that really excites me.  And, criminal defense is always a challenge. Walking out of court with the client's appreciation for the hard work put into his case is the best feeling.. I have 3 children, one grandson. I have retired from officiating high school and youth football, basketball and baseball. My football and baseball ended after 15 years when the demands of my practice just took too much time. I went 29 years in football. But with three knee injuries in my last 5 years of officiating, I had to retire in 2019.. When not practicing law, I try to practice magic.... still not great at it, but trying. And, I have recently taken up billiards.. Getting older means taking those steps to remain physically and mentally healthy. I work out most days. I just recently competed a personal challenge of doing 100 burpees a day for 30 days.  Never had done them in earnest before. They kicked my behind. But amazingly, I will never stop doing them. Wonderful exercise.. I am constantly reading to keep my mind engaged.. Since August of 2021, I have published a daily motivational email to a growing list of subscribers. It started as a way for me to stay positive during some tough times, but I realized others could use the same motivation.. I am competitive... doesn't matter the activity. I don't like to lose.. I work hard. When I finally get some downtime, it is to travel and spend quality time with family and friends. With my wife of 20 years, we have agreed that when we travel, our goal is to find a unique restaurant in a new city to give a try. Not really a foodie, but whether it is a revolving restaurant at the top of building, or a restaurant in a cave, we just wanted to try something unique.
