The Saunders and Schmieler Law Firm used their knowledge and experience to produce a settlement agreement that I was comfortable with. I highly recommend The Saunders and Schmieler Law Firm, they get favorable results.

I had a toilet over flow from my guest toilet on second floor of my home to the basement damaging both the leaving room and the basement. My home insurance company Liberty Mutual, refused to pay for repairs and at the same time cancelled my insurance. I contacted A Public Adjuster , who later referred me to Layer Jeffrey R Schmieler, LLC who accepted my case and worked very hard to achieve a big win with liberty mutual. I am very pleased and happy with the results and look forward to working with them and also making referrals to friends and family.

Fantastic
My wife and I are grateful for your work and we will never forget it. Your team delivered results in what seemed to be a hopeless situation. You all are the best. After hundreds of hours of fighting, we are finally going to fix our house. Couldn't have done it without you. The bottom line is, we needed you and your team to get this done.

"Over the years, I have been involved in a number of cases where Jeff Schmieler also was one of the other attorneys. Recently, I worked on the same side as him in a complex business partner dispute representing a nice older lady against a former business partner who tried to swindle her. The other side was unreasonable, and the matter ended up being decided by a 2 week fully contested arbitration. Mr. Schmieler adeptly handled the multiple witnesses and dozens of boxes of evidentiary documents, and out-lawyered opposing counsel including on the many issues involved, which resulted in a full win and recovery for our client. He was very prepared, very effective, and very persuasive. I highly recommend him."
