Chapter 11 bankruptcy lawyer | Jun 23

Relationship: Worked together on matter

"I first met Ms. Schael in 1997 when I was the Chapter 7 Trustee in the liquidation of a large national chain store . She was a young associate in the firm which was handling complex, international litigation matters for me.. Even as a young attorney, she was extremely competent, confident, agressive and highly skilled. She has since developed a particular expertise in Chapter 11 and we have worked together as co-counsel on some of those matters. She is my "GO TO" colleague on ALL Chapter 11 cases and I highly recommend her."

Avvo Rating

Our Rating is calculated using information the lawyer has included on their profile in addition to the information we collect from state bar associations and other organizations that license legal professionals. Attorneys who claim their profiles and provide Avvo with more information tend to have a higher rating than those who do not.

What determines Avvo Rating?
  • Experience & background Years licensed, work experience, education
  • Legal community recognition Peer endorsements, associations, awards
  • 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.
