Caring and compassionate
My daughter was the victim of medical malpractice and went through a horrifying ordeal for several years. Jeffrey was one of the only bright spots in her life over that time. Always available to hear our concerns or give advice, often on issues that had nothing to do with our case. Our family will always be grateful for not only the financial reward, but his support and friendship in our time of need.

Wonderful Attorney!!
Jeff has made this process so much easier on me and my family. He has kept me informed, everything has been done quickly, he did his research, and definitely knows what he is doing. I am forever grateful to him for all his help and hard work. He is very personable, reliable and trustworthy. I recommend him highly.

Fantastic Attorney
As my title implies, Jeff Schietzelt is a fantastic attorney. I went to several appointments before deciding on an attorney to represent me. Jeff took the time to talk me through my situation in a straightforward honest manner. He gathered and researched the facts, compiled witnesses and his work in front of the jury brought the resolution we were looking for. I could not have been happier with the results of my case. It would be my pleasure to recommend Jeff Schietzelt should you ever need legal representation.

Best, sharpest and most honest lawyer you can have!
Mr. Schietzelt is by far the best lawyer you can have. He is always available, responsive, knowledgeable and willing to help. On the other hand, he can be a straight arrow (with shark teeth) when he is defending your rights. Mr. Schietzelt is very honest, and told me immediately what could be done about my case, what could not and how we could go about it. He is open to hear your case and determine if he can help you without charging, which gave me the confidence I needed to talk to a lawyer; that can be intimidating in itself. His mind is quick and he seems to be always thinking about my case. I can safely assume that is true for all his cases. I have referred others to him, and we all have the same experience. Mr. Schietzelt is trustworthy and I will continue to be his client and keep referring anyone that needs a lawyer. He has even function as a referral source for friends and family in other states. He is just wonderful all around. One cannot be in better hands!

Great lawyer who got me a lot of money!
Jeff took my case after two other lawyers told me they couldn't help me and got me a fantastic result. Unlike other lawyers, you can actually get him on the phone and he is a really nice guy who will make time for you. The pictures of his kids in his office are adorable!
