Candace Lanette Sneed

Located Attorney Sneed from an attorney referral website dur 2019 for a wrongful auto representation. From the start she seemed to understand the issues involved with the matter. However this was short lived rather quickly. Apparently, she took measures to negotiate over payments claimed missing. Her... interests in pursuing this matter waned further and it became difficult reaching and communicating with her, she was unavailable for posted office hours. Then discovering her license was invalid on 08/26/2019 SUPREME COURT OF GEORGIA, Case No. S20Y0211. I requested refund of legal fees which have never been refunded. I suffered further harm with my legal matter which is currently ongoing. Summarizing my comment with one word: INCOMPETENT***

Candace Sneed communication with me was the absolute worse. She does not respond to most text or emails, and her voicemail stays full often especially after retainer is paid. I received a judgement mainly due to my own efforts and once the check came so did 3 invoices never sent or seen before full o...f junk fees taking majority of the check even though I paid this lady out of pocket the whole time. I'm posting this review because no one should have to experience the headaches I had with this person. You hire attorneys to take stress away from you not create it. I wouldn't recommend this person to no one.

During our first meeting Attorney Sneed was attentive and seemed completely capable of handling my case. After I submitted payment, Attorney Sneed was unprofessional and hard to reach. Any information I gained from her came after multiple emails and requests. When she did respond there was usually a ...tone of annoyance. One such email was so rude that Attorney Sneed actually called afterwards to apologize. Aside from our initial meeting, I did not feel as though Attorney Sneed was an advocate for me or particularly concerned. The one time I did get her on the phone the call was dropped on her end. I called back multiple times, text and emailed. This occurred on a Saturday and I did not speak with her again until she arrived to court late on Monday. I felt we were unprepared and found it embarrassing for the judge to ask me to step out in the hall to call my attorney and learn when she’d arrive. I was seeking assistance with a stressful situation and I sincerely feel as though the added stress of an absentee and ineffective attorney made things worse. I debated leaving this review because I realize how it may impact her practice and was willing to give her the benefit of the doubt that the subpar representation I received was not typical. Upon reading additional reviews describing the same service I received, I felt it necessary to share my experience. She may be capable of being a good attorney but the severe lack of professionalism, communication and follow through drastically overshadow that.

I hired Candace to represent us in a lawsuit against a contractor. She started out responsive, however, after a couple months she completely disappeared. She changed offices, stopped taking phone calls/text, and complete ignored emails for months. All we wanted was a status update and to know that... she was still working on the case as we discussed. I have not heard from her in about 8 months. She took $5K for a retainer and has not refunded any of the money back that remained and nor did she ever provide a statement of what she billed. She is the worst, we have lost our money, had to hire a new attorney and pay another $5K retainer. We are not rich with unlimited funds. I have reported her to the GA Bar Association.
