At Our Family Law Firm, Every Client Matters

No one gets married or has a child expecting to break up the family one day. No one gets married and dreams of their divorce. No one looks forward to one day possibly wondering if the child they’ve raised as their own is truly theirs. Yet, these circumstances devastate people across Florida every single day.

You can’t control the course of your marriage, your relationship with a co-parent, or how a co-parent handles negotiations – but you can protect your rights and your best interests with the help of one of the top family lawyers in Lakeland and her team. Get the advice you need and the representation you deserve by contacting Darla K. Snead, P.L., to speak with an experienced Lakeland family & divorce attorney today.

Skilled and Compassionate Family Law Representation

At Darla K. Snead, P.L., we take on a wide range of family law cases, including divorce, timesharing, parenting plans, paternity, post-divorce modifications and enforcement, and much more.

Rather than taking a one-size-fits-all approach to divorce, we understand that every couple is different. Some divorces call for an aggressive approach that protects our clients from dangerous or untrustworthy ex-partners, while other divorces involve amiable ex-partners who simply want to end their marriage with minimal pain and move on. No matter what type of divorce you are facing, we will work in your best interests.

Darla K. Snead is a dedicated family law attorney with over 25 years of legal experience and a diverse background as a former Assistant State Attorney and criminal defense lawyer and a defense attorney handling complex personal injury and medical malpractice cases. She is a Florida Supreme Court Certified Family Mediator and has also received specialized training in collaborative family law. Based on her experience, attorney Darla K. Snead is skilled in litigation, mediation, and settlements. She is used to dealing with conflict and the emotions and arguments of people on the other side. In our firm, every case begins by looking at it from the standpoint of a possible settlement, whether in mediation or as a collaborative process, which in our experience yields better results and more satisfied clients. We try to resolve cases outside of court whenever possible but have plenty of experience going to court when it is necessary, unavoidable, or in our client’s best interests.

We know that handling family law issues can be stressful, especially when you’re still trying to parent, work, and handle daily life. We are committed to being a valuable resource for you every step of the way. Call us today to discuss your challenging family law matter and get the assistance you need for a positive outcome.

Injured in an Accident? Darla K. Snead, P.L. Can Help!

Attorneys Darla K. Snead and Michael H. Dulin have years of experience on the insurance side of personal injury and car accident claims. This gives us a unique perspective that benefits our clients. We understand how the other side is viewing your case and know what it takes to achieve a successful settlement or jury verdict on your behalf. From car accidents, semi tractor-trailer accidents to motorcycle accidents and dog bites, we help accident victims and their families obtain justice for the harm done to them and recover a full measure of compensation for their medical bills, lost income, pain and suffering, and other legal damages. Our firm accepts personal injury and wrongful death matters on a contingency fee basis, where there is no fee until after we obtain compensation for you from the responsible party.
