Former securities attorney
David Schmidt and I represented separate respondents in a securities industry customer arbitration that went to a hearing. He was thorough and responsive in discovery. I found him to be an experienced and knowledgeable arbitration/ trial attorney. We were successful in having the claim dismissed. We also received a monetary award from the panel. A clear win for our respective clients. David did an outstanding job for his client.

David Schmidt
David Schmidt helped our entire family out by recouping most of our losses when we invested in, what we now know as a ponzi scheme. He was always extremely professional kind and considerate to our whole family. He understood the problem and we provided him with the information that he needed to go forward. We think he was very competent and are very greatful that we found him.

He is $$$$.. and gets you more than you ever thought
I went to a few laywers before talking ot David Schmidt. All other lawyers didnt want anything to do with my case. David, listened and investigated to see if there was a case. He told me the truth at every turn during the case. When we were in talks to settle i said take the first offer. He said i smell more, just give it time. He got me double in the mid 6 figures. He is very trustworthy and as honest as the day is long. I know about 2 lawyers who are good friends of mine. I hired and would hire again David.

Traffic violation
Attorney David W. Schmidt represented me. He explained in detail what the specific violation entailed and how he would be able to help me, which he did. Having Mr. Schmidt advocate for me made the entire court appearance process, including speaking in front of the judge go smoothly. Thank you Mr. Schmidt for being such a professional and a gentleman. You gave me peace of mind and really made me feel at ease. I was able to have the 5 point associated with the violation reduced to zero points. Thank you!

Helped me in getting my shoplifting case downgraded to an ordinance violation
Mr. David Schmidt and Mr. Todd helped me in getting my shoplifting case downgraded to an ordinance violation. He was responsive to all my queries and doubts I had. I had absolutely no hesitation in getting his help right from the time I spoke to him. Since I am in the US on a work visa , this case could have had negative impact on my status if it was not handled correctly. Have learnt my lessons the hard way now. Thank you very much.

He's totally AWESOME
I love him. Upon first meeting I wanted to hire this man - he has the best smile & it's an honest smile. He went out of his way - and I mean HE WENT OUT OF HIS WAY - to meet me & help me with my case. He did most of the work. He was VERY reassuring, confident & sure of the outcome of my case, which, in the end, HE GOT THE CASE DISMISSED & that was the end of that. Being in his presence I was comfortable, I did not feel the least intimidated & I trusted him enough to tell him any & everything I wanted him to know in regards to my case. If I ever need another lawyer, David Schmidt will be THE FIRST LAWYER I CALL. I am so glad I had him to represent me. I definitely recommend AND trust him.

Very reassuring and knowledgeable
Dave really helped me get through my tough situation by being very upfront, honest and forthright about my options and situation. I was facing potential criminal charges and he helped me get them down to a minor citation with some community service. He helped make a difficult situation manageable and infinitely less stressful than it should've been. I highly recommend Dave Schmidt for anyone looking for a lawyer.
