Excellent Family Lawyer

Roger Schumann represented me in both my divorce and Temporary Order of Protection cases. He is not only an exceptional lawyer but also someone who truly cares about his clients. He guided me through every step of the process with professionalism, patience, and compassion, making a very stressful and... emotional time much easier to manage. He was always very responsive, quickly answering my questions even on weekends, and making sure I never felt alone or uncertain during the process. Most importantly, Roger worked tirelessly to ensure the safety and well-being of both me and my 3-year-old child. His expertise and dedication gave me confidence and peace of mind throughout my case. I am incredibly grateful for his support and highly recommend Roger Schumann to anyone in need of a skilled and trustworthy family law attorney.

Divorce

I hired Roger as my divorce lawyer, he took the time to understand all the details of my situation as if we knew each other prior. His legal knowledge is superior. It was a tuff time for me and he was always available if I had a question or needed legal advice.

Great lawyer

Roger consulted my divorce and bankruptcy case. He gave me great advice and was a great help to my case. He's fair and very responsive to calls and emails. He doesn't cheat his clients like some of the attorneys I talked to.
