Comes through when it matters most

When I came into Michael Schmitt's office, I was a near wreck. Divorce is hard enough, but worrying about your children is the worst feeling in the world. He organized my case with no problem; was extremely professional while still being a comforting person in a time of great stress. From the beg...inning he took my case in stride, and recognized how important my children were, and just what to do to maintain custody. He really went above in behind in representing me in all avenues, helping us achieve the desired end result. If I had to go back in time, the only change I would make is hiring him even sooner. Great lawyer, and I highly recommend him!

Best choice in Rochester

Michael Schmitt knows how to get the job done, and does it well. While you'll probably have extremely limited knowledge regarding legal proceedings, he knows more than your average lawyer. His intricate knowledge helps propel your case in the most positive way possible, and achieve the results you ne...ed. Definitely recommend him for any case you have. I went to him for repeat traffic violations, but I was referred to him by one of his divorce clients. She had the same experience. His expertise transcends the typical lawyers, and most definitely will beat your expectations.

Committed and compassionate

Mike is a great lawyer who doesn't give up being a compassionate individual for results. My divorce, as I'm sure it is for everyone, is an emotionally damning and endlessly exhausting. Choosing Mike Schmitt to represent me in my divorce was the best decision I could have ever made. He took the burden... off my shoulders, so I could deal with the emotional grieving and healing, yet still provided a great ear when things just seemed too much. Divorce is a situation that no matter how good you are at separating aspects of life, there will be overlap. Instead of making me feel uncomfortable and weak, Mike helped build on my emotions, allowing us to move forward strongly with proceeds to achieve the desired legal result, and also helped me grow stronger emotionally. The best possible attorney for a divorce case in Rochester, NY- I would recommend him time and time again, and have.

Your case may be small, but he'll handle it in a big way

When I went to Michael Schmitt's office, I was a bit nervous that my child support case was too trivial to be treated with care. This was an example of just regular unpaid child support, nothing overwhelming or all-too-horrifying. Also, here I was going to see a lawyer about not receiving money- I wa...s nervous I'd be paying more than it was worth. A friend referred me to Mike's office, and she didn't let me down. Despite my case being "small" he gave it a great deal of time, care, and genuine effort. This was proven in the results- but even better was how I felt afterwords. I was able to land a top-notch attorney at an affordable rate that really took the time to care about my family and needs. If you're going through a case with child support and want results quickly, from someone who will pour his heart into your case, Michael Schmitt is the answer.

Great choice!!

When I received my latest traffic ticket, my license was in jeopardy of being suspended for a year. For someone who needs their license for their job, this was an incredibly stressful time. Michael Schmitt handled my case with no problem, he was completely calm from the beginning and took my case wit...hout any fear. It really helped to calm me down, and go into proceedings confident. Turns out there was nothing to worry about, his experience really pulled through here and he was able to save the day. Definitely recommend him to anyone going through a similar case, you have to pick his office to pull through for you.
