Darla Katherine Snead

Darla is an excellent lawyer who goes above and beyond to do her best, she is easy to talk to and lets you know right from the start what will be happening with your case till the end.I couldn't say enough good things about Miss Darla except that I won't use anyone else.

After difficulties with another attorney and only a few weeks prep-time before the final hearing, this attorney did not shy away from my complex divorce case - which involved missing and dissipated assets, complex inherited and joint properties and an uncooperative spouse. She and her staff had only a few weeks prep-time before the final hearing but they worked hard and as a team with me to glean effective arguments from an almost 4-ft stack of financial paperwork. Ms. Snead is very detail oriented and this also helped to pinpoint critical documentation that had previously gone unnoticed. By the hearing, Ms. Snead had all documentation needed to supply proofs to the court of dissipation of my home and financial assets - plus my need and his ability to pay. The overwhelming stacks had been reduced, color-coded and organized into a neat little file system that allowed her to lay hands on paperwork immediately when needed before the judge. It should be said that I am legally disabled and had been told by the former attorney I would probably walk away from a marriage of 34 years with little or nothing due to my husband's financial chicanery. In spite of an unsympathetic court system, Ms. Snead was able to secure some compensation for me for a dissipated funds - plus alimony over what the opposing attorney had suggested. The communication with this attorney and her staff was excellent throughout the process and while there was efficiency - this was also tempered with knowledge, compassion and honesty about what could be achieved within the constraints of the Polk County court system. I will always be grateful for the effort given - which was far above and beyond what I had expected based on my previous experience. Ms. Snead understood that was about my future ability to survive with no means of support and some serious health issues and she argued accordingly. There were no negative or detrimental surprises before the judge - as I had experienced previously. She always conferred with me first, listened to my wishes, gave her honest evaluation and unfailingly kept my best interests at the fore. I just wish I had found this expert legal team from the start and I believe I would have been saved much stress and emotional trauma.

Darla Snead goes above and beyond her duties as an attorney.
She handled our daughter's case for 2 1/2 years and gave her 100%. Through her hard work and countless hours, our daughter was released free of all charges. We thank her very much for all that she has done and continues to do for our family.
We highly recommend Darla Snead.
