About Victoria

Learn Victoria’s areas of practice.

My motto is: “Let’s take a situation that people typically view as negative and make it positive.” I believe: “when we, as attorneys, speak in a positive way, our clients are apt to start thinking in a positive manner as well. This positive attitude results in positive results. Clients originally reach out to me because they are experiencing pain, heartbreak, devastation, anger, frustration, uncertainty, and/or fear…basically a whirlwind of emotions with no real positive outlet while actively  looking for help, guidance and someone they can trust to make their world seem “normal” again. In fact, divorce has been equated with a death and in some ways it is just that…a loss of a loved one.   The client feels like their whole world has been turned upside down and sideways. They are simply looking for someone who can break down their options in a clear and concise manner while guiding them through the divorce process. That is my role! I am here to take away some of the stress of dealing with the all the devastation and to alleviate the feeling of being alone. Someone who has their back! My end goals are for my clients to leave my office with the tools necessary to move forward with their lives in a healthy, positive manner and help minimize the impact on the children. Divorce doesn’t have to be nasty!”

Positive. Professional. Poised.
Victoria Adkins Snell, Esq. is a brilliant attorney. She took my case on top of a heavy case load and worked tirelessly because she cares. She is thorough, kind, and understanding; even in the times when I fell apart. I had an unusual and crushing divorce and custody battle. She pulled the fighter out of me when I wanted to just give up. Honestly, she did not have to do that, but she did. She went beyond being a standard professional. She is exemplary. To say she is good lawyer, just isn't good enough. In fact, she is positively indescribable and I am thankful she represents me. I trust Victoria and she comes with a power packed team. Of course no humans are beyond error, but if anyone makes a mistake, they apologize; showing humility. For this reason, I will continue to work with this team for my child custody matters. -The Reverend Jessica James Alston, MDiv

Victoria was such a pleasure to work with. She was very knowledgeable and always answered my questions completely without making me feel overwhelmed. She returned my calls promptly and explained all of my options in detail. She was great about explaining all of the legal jargon and walked me through each of the steps with patience and true compassion. She was very personable. Exactly what I needed.

family law issue
Victoria Adkins Snell was the attorney for my divorce. Our initial meeting was very professional; she was prepared with appropriate questions regarding my case, and was attentive to my questions and concerns about obtaining a divorce. I was impressed with her knowledge of family law - specifically divorce cases. When I had questions or concerns, she was prompt in returning my phone calls and answering my concerns. I was nervous when it was time to go to court to finalize the divorce, but she was well prepared and easily answered all questions presented by the judge; it made for a smooth, quick conclusion.

Family/Probate
From the first meeting, I felt at ease with Victoria. She answered my questions and provided the information I needed. I could tell she knew the law, how to deal with people and she made me feel like a priority. In fact, she was always readily available and made me believe no question was too small. I wouldn’t hesitate to recommend her to friends and family who needed a family lawyer.

Truly robbed me and did absolutely nothing
Truly robbed me and did absolutely nothing to help my case but took all my money. They put me in a worse position then I started out in and left me high and dry without funds to fight my case. She has endangered my children. I will never be the same

They don’t care
Literally hired Victoria snell for my child custody case. She was very eager to take my payment, however, she called me the day before court telling me some other attorney from the firm was going to represent me. That “attorney” showed up late with both a broken nose and flip flops, having absolutely no knowledge of my case. the attorney showed up complaining about how many clients they have and how I wasent a main priority and how busy they were. What a waste of $1200. After expressing my concerns I was dropped as a client having less than 30 days to obtain a new lawyer. Do not put the future of your children in this firms hands. Extremely disappointed.

"I've known Victoria for many years and have handled a number of divorce cases against her. She's always had a great knowledge of law, but perhaps more importantly, understands the realities of how it can effect clients and their families. She is both a zealous advocate, and voice of reason. I very much endorse this lawyer."
Divorce and separation Attorney | Aug 20

"I have had the opportunity to work with Victoria as part of the training for her at our new Orlando divorce office. Her years of experience and training are clearly demonstrated by her balanced approach to case work. She understands that there is a lot more to managing a divorce case than merely processing a complaint. She is a valuable asset to any client that works with her and, as such, i strongly endorse her work."

"I endorse this lawyer because she is entirely dedicated to helping her clients. When you meet with Victoria, you will immediately see that she truly cares for her clients and that she listens. Divorces often force you to talk about sensitive issues--maybe something you have never had to discuss before--but her compassion will almost make you forget that it's a sensitive subject. She thoughtfully responds, tells it like it is, and you can believe her because she certainly knows what she's doing. Victoria is just one of those lawyers that you want in your corner (not in your soon-to-be-ex's corner)."
