Add ReviewThis office is very unreliable, and extremely rude. I had a consultation which was paid for over 2 weeks in advance for May 26th 2023 at 2:30pm. The receptionist called me and asked if it could be re-scheduled for 3pm because the attorney was caught up in a “mediation” with another client. Keep in mind I made arrangements with my employer to have this time slot available; yet I was understanding. I agreed to push it to 3pm. When I call at 2:58pm. The receptionist tells me she’s still caught up with another client, and if she could “call me back with her on the line” once she was finished. I explained to her that, if she had other arrangements, she should’ve been vocal about it and I would’ve scheduled it for later in the afternoon. She tells me that “that’s not how things work”; at that point I explained to her that I had paid for the consultation beforehand, and that I was at work! As I was asking her “When could she call m?” I was rudely hung up on. If you care about your children, stay away from this practice. Regardless of whether it’s custody, visitation, or anything you’re trying to seek help with. They’re not reliable, punctual, nor show any kind of professionalism.Report

I wish I could give no stars. I hired snead to represent me. It took over 3 years and countless hoops I had to jump thru for Mrs. Snead to not do anything for me court wise. Just answer emails and charged so much for that. I do not recommend hiring Mrs snead If you are a man trying to fight for your rights.Report

Ms. SNEAD DID A GREAT JOB FOR ME. HELPED ME THROUGH A VERY DIFFICULT TIME. ALL THE STAFF WAS VERY COURTEOUS AND UNDERSTANDING.Report
Save your money and get a Public Defender or Family Aid Attorney. She will drain your account and give minimal services. Also, her Paralegal is incompetent.Report
Words cannot simply express the level of gratitude I have for Atty Snead and her team, I had one of the worst divorce cases and had previously retained counsel elsewhere without a resolve, then I found Atty Snead and decided to give her a try, best decision ever!!! Atty Snead and her team went above and beyond to help me achieve the best outcome possible even though the other party was ready for a fight from the beginning. I would definitely recommend Atty Snead to anyone looking for a great kind hearted atty who would treat you with kindness and respect , listen to you and take the time to always make sure all options have been considered to achieve the best possible outcome for your case.Report
