Unacceptable

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***

Would Give Less Stars if Possible - Do Not Hire

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.

Purvis

I'm glad she did a good job for someone, it wasn't us. We hired her to help with a dispute with a jewelry purchase return. She is in breach of our contract with her. She has not returned emails or phone calls in over a month. She did not keep us informed and the only thing we know she did was loo...k at the BBB review & send us a link. We got nothing for the fee we paid her. Would not recommend her at all
