Quick, efficient, gets the job done.

Michael Schmitt is a great choice if you want something done fast, with no nonsense. He doesn't rip you off with price either, and actually cares about his clients. He's an example of someone who overdelivers- and it's so refreshing to see.

Best decision I ever made

From the beginning, Mike's advice and reassuring nature were second to none. While I was extremely nervous about what was going to happen (losing my license, job, fines, and jail) he calmed me down and explained why he wasn't worried, and why it was silly for me to be worried also. That did wonders. ...Court day came, I didn't have to do anything challenging or that would put too much pressure on me, and we got the result we wanted- not guilty! Great lawyer for anyone in any situation who is looking to get the result they want, and the care they need.

Combination of a good lawyer and a good person.

This is my first time entering into the realm of NY legal proceedings. Walking into Michael Schmitt's office I was extremely nervous and on edge. In the matter of minutes, I had my confidence and trust built up. To break down the jargon the court system uses is no small task, and I was able to learn... more about what was going on and our plan of attack without having to do any outside exploration. Not only was I able to feel comfortable, and even though my case is on the smaller level of importance compared to charges other clients surely have faced, I felt as though my matters would be handled appropriately and given their due diligence- if not even more. To top it all of, he and his wife just welcomed a baby into the world, helping to increase the level of comfort and humanizing his role, if you will. In a time of stress, and with serious potential implications, you need to have a lawyer that you can trust to get the job done, and that you can also respect as a person outside of the legal degrees and titles. With Michael Schmitt, you get both of these important factors.

Doing a very good job

Mike has helped me a great deal through a very rough time. I had no idea what to expect. Not only did Mike help me professionally but personally as well. I would highly recommend him to anyone with family issues (Divorce, Custody, Etc).

A lawyer who is honest, trustworthy and well respected!

Without a doubt, I would recommend Mr. Schmitt for anyone going through a divorce. He is very knowledgeable when it comes to background information and has been helpful in every step of the way with my issues. He is certainly one of the best lawyers I have worked with.
