Since beginning in the practice of immigration law more than 30 years ago, the most important thing I have learned is to not predict or anticipate a negative outcome to a case.  I will not accept a legal matter that I think is frivolous or not supported by law, but there are many cases in which hard work, study of the law and creative advocacy can influence the interpretation of a difficult issue, or gain favorable exercise of discretion of an  immigration official or judge. As a colleague taught me a long time ago, if something is not prohibited, it is permitted.  Immigration lawyers occupy a peculiar space where, often, government practices are not policies, policies are not rules, rules are not law, and both rules and law seem to be dispensed with, with hardly a second thought.  We are persuasive advocates when we bring whatever authority we can muster to bear on a given situation.  The adjudicator or IJ will say, "what? there is a rule or a law to apply?"  And that can make all the difference in a given case.

Snead has the experience you can trust to help you with your legal matter.  Her firm is dedicated to tailoring your legal representation to your specific needs. Whether you have a contested case or a case where you would like to negotiate a settlement, Attorney Snead can help you through the complex litigation process or guide you through mediation or settlement negotiations.  Although most people recognize that they should have an attorney to fight in court, and fight for their rights, some people think they should just handle a case themselves, or through a paralegal or mediation service, if they are close to agreeing.  Most of the time, this is a big mistake and you may be giving up important rights if you don't have an attorney by your side in mediation or settlement negotiations, just like in Court.  Attorney Snead provides representation for family law cases on a fixed fee basis for settlement agreements or for mediations.  Attorney Snead is also trained and certified in collaborative law.  During her legal career, she has tried over 100 cases involving both civil matters and criminal cases.  She currently represents clients in divorce matters, including child custody or timesharing issues, alimony, child support, as well as paternity cases and modifications of final orders. She also represents clients in personal injury and wrongful death cases, as well as criminal defense matters.  Attorney Snead is a Polk County, Florida native and began her career in the State Attorney's Office in Bartow, Florida.
