Sheffield Law successfully defended former Houston County Commissioner Bobby Snellgrove, who was arrested in 2014 on felony ethics and public corruption charges filed by the Alabama Attorney General’s Office. The high-profile case accused Snellgrove of misusing his public office in connection with county contracts and financial dealings.
At trial, our defense team dismantled the prosecution’s claims through detailed cross-examination and a focus on the weaknesses in the state’s evidence. We highlighted inconsistencies, emphasized the absence of direct wrongdoing, and demonstrated that the charges did not meet the high burden of proof required for a conviction.
The jury returned a Not Guilty verdict on all charges, fully clearing Snellgrove’s name and preserving his legacy as a public servant in Houston County.
This case underscores Sheffield Law’s experience handling public corruption, ethics violations, and white-collar crime defense, especially when reputations and livelihoods are on the line.
