"Mike Schmitt is one of the best family law lawyers in the Rochester area. He is also the most zealous advocate for clients. His strong belief that is he should fight for his clients rights and not give up just to settle a case, whether it be in a criminal case or a divorce of a family court matter. His knowledge and experience are unsurpassed. One of his greatest assets is that he is a former Monroe County Attorney handling hundreds of child support cases. No one is better sutied to handle a family court case in our area. I wholeheartedly endorse this lawyer."
