Grateful for Roger

This man worked hard for our case and made us feel like family more than a client. Always kept us informed, day, night, weekday, weekend. Grateful he was referred to us by a good friend who was absolutely right about him, he is on his game. Thanks Roger

Exceeded all expectations!!

From the first day I contacted Roger regarding an auto accident suit, I realized I was in very capable hands. What I didn’t realize until later, was how pragmatic, tenacious, and brilliant Mr. Schumann really is. Roger has expertly navigated this situation to a favorable resolution, while keeping me... abreast the entire way. I will most certainly be retaining his full services moving forward.

Darlene - custody

Roger has been a godsend. He is an excellent attorney who is very passionate about his clients cases and he is extremely knowledgeable in his field. I have been working with roger over the past 3 years during my custody case. I had a previous attorney who basically screwed up my case (Due to her o...wn negligence) where the father got temporary custody and I was only allowed to see my children on weekends. I was distraught and i was desperate for help. I hired Roger through referral and this was the best decision I could have made. Roger came in and cleaned up this mess. Within a few months I was able to get a much more fair schedule with the children. Roger has been consistent in his approach to me and his advice. Roger possessed all the qualities my prior attorney lacked which included great communication with me , genuine concern for my situation , always staying on top of matters , available 24/7 and always helping to keep me emotionally stable during this distressing time in my life by helping to keep things in a realistic perspective. I am happy to say we were finally able to settle my case last month without going to trial and i pretty much got what I wanted in all of this. The most important thing is that it worked out for the children in the end. If you need a knowledgeable , caring attorney who Is not about taking your money but will deliver on his end and make this process bearable , then Roger is your man. I have referred him to someone already and will continue to highly recommend him.

Tremendously knowledgeable

Roger was the most experienced and efficient attorney I’ve ever had representing me. He was comforting and calculating and was able to accomplish what three other lawyers failed to get done. I couldn’t recommend him more favorably than this. Do yourself a favor and hire Roger.
