Phyllis Jo Kubey, EA CFP

I first worked with Mr. Schmidt in 1993 and since then he has been extremely helpful to me in my tax practice and I have also recommended him to many of my clients. Charlie is thorough, attentive, and diligent in his legal work and also a very caring and supportive human being. He has been a wonder...ful resource for me and I cannot recommend him highly enough.

Avvo Rating

Our Rating is calculated using information the lawyer has included on their profile in addition to the information we collect from state bar associations and other organizations that license legal professionals. Attorneys who claim their profiles and provide Avvo with more information tend to have a higher rating than those who do not.

What determines Avvo Rating?
  • Experience & background Years licensed, work experience, education
  • Legal community recognition Peer endorsements, associations, awards
  • Legal thought leadership Publications, speaking engagements
  • Discipline Disciplinary information may not be comprehensive, or updated. We recommend that you always check a lawyer's disciplinary status with their respective state bar association before hiring them.
