Weaponizing the Judicial System in pursuit of revenge.

Attorney Schoenhorn was recommended to me due to his highly successful experience in civil law and trial law. From my first meeting with him to the successful ruling in my favor he answered all of my questions and gave straight forward explanations of the laws involved so I could understand them as ...they applied to the case. This allowed me to present the truth and defend myself against a fraudulent suit which had no merit to be heard by the Superior Court of New London, CT in the first place. This being the only time in my life that my integrity and character have been besmirched, I’m very grateful that Attorney Schoenhorn was representing me against a culture of cover up and retaliation in the workplace and I can say without hesitation that he is the only one who could have done so. I highly recommend him to anyone who has to defend themselves against a malicious suit brought on to silence the lawful reporting of abuses of power.

Mr, Schoenborn is an outstanding lawyer!

Our family retained Mr. Schoenborn to represent a family member in a criminal case that included court locations in Connecticut that were outside of Mr. Schoenborn's direct purview. He was able to structure and choreograph the representation of our family member in an effective manner. This led to an... efficient resolution of the overall case. We were clearly informed by him of his strategy. All members of our family are grateful to him for his efforts on our behalf.
