I couldn’t have asked for a better lawyer.

Mr. Schraier is an amazing lawyer who helped me in my Custody/Visitation court case proceedings and I have say he did such a great job, he kept me in the loop, I was able to communicate to him about things that was happening throughout the case, We had one on one conversations about important ideas o...n what actions/steps I needed take to better my chances in court and he was there to give good advice. All in all I will say Mr. Schraier is a great lawyer, a really nice person and I couldn’t have ask for a better representative to help me win my case.

Visitation Case

I have worked with Seth on my case regarding violation of petition for Visitation. Everything that has occurred to my liking or not within my case was expressed by Seth to benefit me and my family. He took it and delivered the message and stood firm even when I was a bit nervous about how it would en...d up. He assured me that my case would be handled properly and would cease in the right light which it did. I am glad to recommend his services to anyone who is looking into him. Court is never an easy situation and can be stressful. But he has always taken the time to address my concerns which is something to be appreciated.

Best Lawyer Ever

I had hired Seth as my attorney back in May 2019. I was going through a bitter custody/visitation case with my daughter’s father. Seth was there whenever I had questions and/or concerns about my case. Seth is patient, professional, diligent, trusting and honest. I wish I could give him more than five... stars because he helped me got what I wanted out of my case and ended up very satisfied. Thank you Seth.

A true Professional!!

Profesional, Honest, Dedicated are only a few words to describe Mr. Schraier. Seth was amazing not only did you take your time to understand and comprehend my case and what I was going through but his honesty is what will bring me back to him nexr time if needed in the future. He gave me great advis...e about my case and till this day I do not regret it. With that being said, i wasn't granted with what I was hoping for but he took his time to explain the pros, cons & the what ifs' on my case, and I truly feel like the best decision was made. He is very knowledgeable and defineltly knows what he is doing!! Thank you Seth
