Trusted Advocate for Complex Divorce and Custody cases

Going through a divorce is one of the hardest things in life, and I am truly grateful that I had Mr. Schmitt by my side. He is not only an excellent lawyer with deep knowledge of New York divorce law, but also a professional who listens, explains, and cares. What impressed me most was his ability to... balance strong advocacy with compassion. He was always clear, honest, and realistic about my options. Even in the most stressful moments, he stayed calm and guided me with confidence. Thanks to his expertise and dedication, I felt protected and supported at every stage. I would highly recommend Mr. Schmitt to anyone who is facing divorce or family court matters. He is the attorney you can trust to fight for your rights while also understanding your struggles.

Excellence across the board!

After getting off the phone with Michael Schmitt the first time we spoke, I knew he was top notch. Respectful, Composed, Experienced and Polite were my first thoughts. He is solid in his approach, has it handled and knows how to negotiate any maze of difficult cases. His office staff are high class ...and professional. Prompt replies to calls and emails are the norm for the law office of Michael Schmitt. You will not be disappointed.

Thankful I found Michael Schmitt

I'm so very thankful I found and retained Michael's services to represent me in my custody and child support case. Michael was extremely attentive, empathetic, knowledgeable, responsive and fought for me every step of the way. From our very first meeting, he explained everything to me and what ...I could expect and answered all my questions no matter what time of day that I asked. This was one of the most stressful and traumatic times of my life and he was my biggest advocate and fought for me without ever letting up until I got the outcome that I deserved. I can't speak highly enough of Michael. If you're seeking a Family Law attorney, this is the person that you're going to want to go with.

Extremely Dissatisfied Client!

I hired Michael to handle a Family Court issue. After the initial meeting I was consistently asking questions and providing thoughts as I felt my case was not receiving the proper attention. His answers were always short and irrelevant. After nearly a year we lost as he failed to prove a case. Op...posing Council crushed us. This mishandling has cost me and my family tens of thousands of dollars. It is obvious my best interests were not a priority. Michael lacked commitment, law knowledge and experience. Don’t make the mistake I did!
