Outstanding!

Dan Schuller represented me in a divorce proceeding. I found him to be exceptionally knowledgeable and well informed. He always worked diligently to keep the process moving forward. Dan maintained excellent communication with me and was always reachable if I had a question or concern. I very much... appreciated that Dan took the time to make sure I understood everything as thoroughly as possible. Dan Schuller is an excellent attorney and I would not hesitate to recommend him to family or friends.

Excellent experience re divorce

I highly recommend Dan in the area of divorce/separation. He was very clear in what I needed to bring to the first meeting (consultation) which saved us time and money. Dan is knowledgeable and straight forward. I am most appreciative that my case was handled with care and in a timely manner.

A very positive experience!

My sister and I accompanied my parents to a Consultation with Dan regarding an overview of my parents' Wills, POAs and Health Care Proxies. Dan was very knowledgeable and was able to explain more recent laws that warranted some changes on my parents' documents. We then hired him to make the revision...s. He had drafts completed by the end of the day and we were able to meet with him a week later to review and have the forms signed. Dan made it a painless process for my parents.

Outstanding Attorney

Recently, after 26 years of marriage I went through a devastating divorce. From the moment I contacted Attorney Schuller, he put my mind at ease that he would handle my case with my best interest in mind and help me understand all that was ahead of me. He was true to his word and explained extremel...y difficult concepts easily so I could understand. He was professional and empathetic to my situation and was willing to work around my schedule anytime I needed to meet with him. Any phone calls I made were immediately returned as well as any correspondence with my ex-husband’s attorney. During negotiations, he was respectful, fair and reflective with all parties involved. Mr. Schuller’s main interest is to end a difficult situation as quickly and amicably as possible. He truly cares about his clients—that was clearly evident through his kind words and sound advice. He is not interested in long, drawn out cases that are full of contention that ultimately end in high legal fees. I highly recommend Attorney Schuller. He is a kind, considerate and extremely intelligent lawyer. He will not stop working until all your questions are answered and you are satisfied with the outcome you desire. He puts his all into his work and it shows. He truly made an extremely unpleasant situation seem bearable. If I could give him 10 stars I would!

It's not just the bottom line

I left a marriage and my East Aurora home without legal representation. Our separation and divorce agreement was managed by my husband's attorney. Months later it became apparent that there was little protection for me regarding the division of our property. Enter Dan. He explained the law and req...uested relevant documents. He was unfailingly clear, professional and responsive. He hammered out an agreement which specified how and when the marital property was to be split, and then my file was closed. Nearly a year later my ex-husband began the process of refinancing our home. His mortgage lender offered me a minimal payout. I forwarded the offer to Dan. (And this is where it matters that you have confidence in your attorney.) In the following weeks, all correspondence regarding the refinance went to Dan. My payout for the equity in the marital home was to be sent to Dan. At the end, it was considerably more than I expected, and enough for me to buy my own home. But ultimately it's not just than the bottom line one should consider in a tough legal situation, it's also the peace of mind that comes with a really good lawyer. Dan Schuller is that really good lawyer.
