Great Lawyer

Seth helped me with a child support case about 2 months ago. he knows the family law very well. I was very happy with his work and I would definitely recommend him. He was courteous and professional.

Honest and really cares for his clients!

When face with tough times, finding a affordable and efficient family Attorney is hard to find. After speaking with Seth, I was confident that he was the Attorney for me. Seth is a great listener and a great problem solver. He was able to have the Judge drop the restraining order against me and forc...e my ex-wife to return my kids back to Florida. Every-time I contacted Seth, if he was unavailable, he made it his priority to return all my calls. Thank you again for such a wonderful experience and making me feel as if someone cared when I was going through a rough time.

Fairly priced and efficient

I used Seth for a prenup. I thought he was very efficient with his work, very easy to communicate with, and very reasonably priced. I was happy with the experience.

Child Custody Case

I filled out an online inquiry to find a local lawyer in my area. Seth Schraier's office was listed so I called and gave a brief description of the summons I received. Seth shared his child custody experiences , offered his services and fees. My gut feeling told me Seth was the one so we scheduled a ...meeting at his office. I felt comfortable sharing my story with Seth and he explained the child custody process, etc. Seth asked for all supporting documents in order to prepare for our first court date and all went well from that point on. Seth Schraier was always available to answer my questions via phone or email, communicated efficiently and arrived on time and prepared for all court dates. If your looking for a great lawyer, please meet with Seth Schraier. He is very professional, organized, straight to the point and reasonably priced.
