About

Experienced & Effective representation for your legal matter. Call now for an office, telephone or video-conference consultation. Attorney Snead has over 24 years experience as a trial attorney. Whether you need an attorney for a divorce, child custody, or an auto accident, personal injury case, you can rest assured knowing that you have Attorney Snead by your side. Whether you need aggressive representation in Court or an attorney with great attention to detail, Ms. Snead will guide you each step of the way. Attorney Snead is a former prosecutor and also a former insurance defense attorney. Why is this important? Attorney Snead knows both sides of the legal process in personal injury cases, which gives her an advantage in negotiating. Family law matters can be especially stressful due to the sensitive issues involved. All family law cases, including divorce, must go through mediation. Mediation is a process where the parties, together with their attorneys, meet with a neutral third party mediator. The mediator will go back and forth between the parties to try to reach a resolution in the case. It is very important to have an attorney with you at mediation in order to make sure that you understand all of your rights under the law and that all of your interests are protected. Many cases Attorney Snead handles are resolved at mediation without a long court battle. If you and the other party are in complete agreement as to all the issues from the very beginning, Attorney Snead can prepare a Settlement Agreement and Parenting Plan for a special fixed rate. Attorney Snead will then prepare your Final Judgement and attend your final hearing with you before the Judge. Attorney Snead also practices Collaborative family law for those who would like to keep their personal information out of Court and handle the matter more privately. Let us help you through the legal process.

Darla helped me through a difficult time sharing case. My son's father appeared after 4 years and decided he wanted to see him. I was a crying mess at my consultation and Darla put me at ease. Her office staff is so sweet. Melissa (the paralegal) answered all my questions and forwarded the ones she needed clarification on to Darla. I was quite emotional throughout the process and the staff was very supportive. We were able to settle at mediation and come to a reasonable agreement. The number 1 reason I hired Darla is she is honest and she made me feel comfortable and confident. If you are going into a time sharing case, I would recommend Darla anyday.

I hired Attorney Snead to handle my Divorce case ...Ex Wife was unreasonable on her demands from the begining and asked to keep the House , Furniture, have custody of my minor 3 kids , asked me to pay her attorney fees , pay child support , pay alimoney , life insurance , etc... Ex Wife didn't want to be partially responsible for marital debts like credit cards debts because they were under my name and not hers . Attorney Snead was very clear with me from the start about the hourly fees she will charge through-out the case ..It wasn't a flat rate but she managed to delegate a lot of work to her knowledgeable and experienced paralegal assistant and that helped reduce the overall cost of my divorce . My Ex Wife never wanted to agree from the beginning on anything and she thought she had an apprehend on the divorce , so all the negotiations and settlement offers were rejected and the divorce was disputed and set for Trial . Attorney Snead stuck with the plan and continued to negotiate with Wife's attorney and tried diligently to settle the matter before Trial as she believed that whatever Ex Wife is asking for was not fair to me. Short and sweet ...all the issues were pretty much resolved before trial ..Trial didn't take more then 2 hours . Pretty much Everything I had asked for before trial I got... I Ended up with 50/50 on everything ..Assets , Liabilities and also rotating schedule on a 50/50 base for my kids..They stay one week with me and one week with her . Didn't have to pay her Attorney fees , no Alimoney , no life insurance , not even a child support , etc... At the end , I can say one thing that Attorney fees might look costly but when you are in good hands it is definitely worth it.. I am very satisfied with the results and the outcome of my divorce and I can't thank Attorney Darla Snead enough for that. I will definitely continue to use her in the future if needed , but I I highly recommend her for anyone but especially for Men dealing with difficult Women in their divorces .. Again , thank you Ms Darla Snead for a Job well done . I am a happy and satisfied Client. HICHEM

Darla has provided legal advice and guidance during a difficult situation. I found her to be experienced, responsive, knowledgable and honest. While working with Darla, I felt as though my situation was in adept and trustworthy hands, and she did not steer me wrong. I would highly recommend Darla to anyone seeking legal representation that is fair, honest and will keep your best interest and unique needs at the forefront. Should the situation arise, I would not hesitate to seek representation from Darla again.
