Child abuse lawyer | Sep 01

Relationship: Opposing Counsel on matter

"It takes all of five minutes after meeting Attorney Schoenfeld to realize that you are not speaking with a stereotypical lawyer. His empathy for his clients, his ability to listen, and his determination to make a difference are unusual. I have worked with him on two care & protection cases involving the Department of Children and Families and I can say that if my child was in the foster care system, I would feel more than comfortable having him represent me."

"I endorse this lawyer's work. Mr. Schoenfeld is a tough, but fair, opponent. He is attentive to detail, well prepared, and well researched and versed in the law. He is persuasive and has good judgment. We were on opposite sides of a parental rights trial. He was skilled and won the respect of counsel and of the trial judge in the case. I fuly endorse him."
