Hands down the BEST Lawyer!!!

I heard about Roger from a friend, she titled him as" the best lawyer she's ever met". After him helping me resolve my case I too have no doubt he is the BEST. I had a time share that was co purchased with an ex who refused to pay his half as promised and i was left stuck with this payment and subse...quent annual fees. Roger was able to get the time share holders to come to an agreement of a certain payoff and take the time share back. He fought hard on my behalf and was formidable ,well organized, meticulous and brilliant. With his wise and witty attitude he made me feel like I was in good hands. He was always accessible, he gave great and practical advise.With all these qualifications I am certain that he is the BEST and will do his BEST at the task assigned to him.

Top Notch Personal Injury Lawyer

I'm a New York City Police Officer and I was in a vehicle accident a few years ago while on duty and another cop from my precinct said I should use Roger Schumann to handle my claim if I file one because he did such a great job when he did his claim. I knew this cop wouldn't recommend him if he wasn'...t really good at his job. I suffered some broken ribs and lost time from work. Roger Schumann took care of everything and he kept me informed of everything he was doing on my claim and he always asked how I was feeling. I received compensation for my injuries and I was 100% satisfied with his work. I now recommend him to my family and friends.

A+++ a he is a gem and a credit to this legal industry!

I am extremely grateful to attorney Roger Schumann for his guidance, support, and generosity in helping me get through my divorce. My case was surely a challenge to say the least; it was coupled with a complex foreclosure case and an ex who was paired with a belligerent and rude attorney. Rest assure...d no matter how brash or clever the opposition, Schumann is very adept at handling rivals with ease. It is a delicate dance and he assured me of that throughout the entire ordeal. Schumann became my lawyer after months of being in the legal hands of another who completely buckled under the pressure and tactics of my ex’s counsel. My ex-husband was fixed and intent on draining the marital estate while delaying and obscuring facts to handicap the court in making proper findings. From the very beginning Schumann listened to the proof that I brought to the table about my husband’s inaccuracies, his web of false statements and through careful preparation, attention to detail and his genuine interest in my case, he managed the entire process. He was very generous with his time on the phone and always gave me sound advice and strong emotional support. Schumann, thank you for your compassion, and always taking the time to address my concerns through this traumatic time in my life.

On A Scale Of 1 - 10, There's No Question: Schumann Is A 10

As the field for lawyers gets more and more crowded, the mediocre fall to the side and the best rise to the top. Roger Schumann has risen to the top again and again over the 10 year span that I and my colleagues have engaged his services, including a case as recently as August. I've gone to him for a... variety of services, from a personal injury case to debt management, as well as contracts and legal documents of various types. Consistency is the key word to describe Schumann: consistently winning cases for me, consistently utilizing clear communication, and consistently pricing his services fairly to match his level of professionalism, which never, EVER falls below superb. On a scale of 1 - 10, he's never been anything But a 10.
