Keeps the Focus on the Children

As a younger mom, going through the process of court for custody felt extremely overwhelming. Mr. Schneider is not only extremely knowledgeable, professional and caring- but he is extremely patient and honest with every bit of advice he has ever given. No matter how busy he is, he always responds qui...ckly and makes you feel like you’re top priority at all times. When it was time to go to Court, I arrived confident and relaxed the second I was in his presence. Rick Schneider will without a doubt have your best interests in mind- but his care and determination to put my children’s needs first and foremost throughout the entire process spoke volumes about his character. I wouldn’t ever want anyone else to advocate for my family, and I will wholeheartedly recommend him to anyone.

Rick Schneider: Restoring Integrity to Family Law

I worked with Rick Schneider at Weinberger on a recent family law matter. I have had, over the years, nothing but bad experiences in dealing with the legal system -- to the point where it seriously affected my personal health. So I'm sure you will appreciate what an incredible relief and pleasure it... was to deal with real professionals, who know their stuff, who listen to their clients, and who work efficiently to bring closure to a difficult situation. Working with Rick gave me a genuine boost in my belief in the legal system and I strongly recommend his group.

Very professional

After much research, we hired Rich Schneider to complete a final judgement for a divorce. The previous counsel whom we "thought" was processing a full divorce only to discover which he did in fact, he didn't. We had to then find a true professional to handle the mess. Thanks to Rick and the entire ...firm, the process of going from a "legal separation" to a "final judgement" was smooth, quick and easy. Very professional. He answered all the questions we had honestly and gave us full insight on what needed to be done. If you need an attorney to handle a family matter, i highly recommend this firm.

Great lawyer

I recommend Rick Schneider to anyone looking for an excellent family law expert. Rick helped me through my very difficult divorce. He was very compassionate, and took the time to explain the laws that applied to my situation. If I needed to get in touch with him, I would either get through right away... or wait no more than one hour for a phone call/email to be returned. He handled my case very professionally and was very reliable through the whole process. I recommend Rick Schneider without any reservations.

Do not use this lawyer.....:(

We paid a $5000 retainer which was used up within one month for just filing the cross motion leaving us in the negative over another $1000. I had to pay an additional $2000 just to go to court one time for a child support and parenting time in which I got screwed while he just stood there because he ...came to court unprepared and not ready to put up a fight in my defense. He did not know anything about my case after I supplied him with all the information and evidence necessary to use in my favor. He is complete rip off. Does not provide any face time unless it's to talk about money for him. Do Not Use Him unless you are ready to lose your money & lose your case. it sucks because I went all in to fight for my child and got railroad because of this lawyers .
