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 g...o 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 sm...ell 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.

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.

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, whi...ch, 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.

  • Legal thought leadership Publications, speaking engagements
  • Discipline Disciplinary information may not be comprehensive, or updated. We recommend that you always check a lawyer's disciplinary status with their respective state bar association before hiring them.
