A second very positive experience

This was the second time I worked with Attorney Schutzbank on a family matter. I have been extremely satisfied with all of the services I have received from him. He is knowledgeable, efficient and also very attentive. I always felt that I could call or email him with any question and I knew that I... would receive a timely response with the information I needed. He was also very effective when communicating with other attorneys who had to be contacted to resolve our matter, efficiently gaging when patience was needed and when it was time to advocate for quicker action. He had my and my family's best interest at heart. At a very trying time, it was most comforting to have such a competent individual in our corner. I would also like to add that Attorney Schutzbank's assistant, Allison, is extremely friendly, helpful and competent. She was always a kind presence on the phone.
