Client review for attorney Carl Schoenherr

I rarely ever post a review but feel I would be remiss without giving a big shout out for attorney Carl Schoenherr ( CJ). I ended up working with CJ well over 3 yrs, as my case was delayed by pandemic and other factors. CJ is truly a dedicated advocate , very confident, honest and always kind . H...e possesses natural situational awareness and emotional intelligence. I always felt like I was in the loop with the process as a whole. CJ consistently addressed my questions and concerns in straightforward, layman's terms with a lot of patience. Some aspects of my case were managed by paralegal Anna Gatz. Anna was so nice, pleasant and very helpful guiding me with all the critical administrative details . My emails and phone calls were always answered in a timely manner by both CJ and Anna. Most important, I remain very pleased with my final result and feel very confident my $$ were used well. I would not hesitate to recommend CJ and this firm . I greatly appreciate the excellent service I was provided during a very difficult, challenging time.

Very blessed

More then a year ago, I was shocked and wounding what is going to happen to me as I am from different county and going through tough and dark divorce. I was lucky enough to talk to CJ Carl. He has been more then just lawyer do the work and receive his money. His understanding, support, high level of ...professionalism and kindness to hold my back and keep encouraging me and fight for my right that I don’t know about has change my life ((from scared to become homeless after my husband left)) to have stable place call home ( he kept me in my home for life time term) he fought for me to secure good 50% of two retirement plan and secured very very good amount of amount and duration of spousal support. I am still surprised that he is not a associate in the firm. He should be because I don’t think the firm will find a better lawyer to present them. Highly recommended.

Carl Schoenherr is an Excellent Attorney!

Carl Schoenherr was my attorney for my custody, visitation and divorce. He is a hard worker and very dedicated. He did an excellent job throughout the entire process. He is very knowledgeable, professional and kind. He always explained everything in a way that I understood. He has always been q...uick to answer my emails and he is very prompt. He did an exceptional job at trial! Myself and my family were highly impressed. He was very attentive and on point the entire time. He was able to adjust and adapt to anything that came his way or anything that changed. His closing argument was exceptional! I am happy with the outcome and I'm so thankful I had Carl Schoenherr for my representation. I highly recommend him to anyone that needs representation. He is excellent!

Focused professional lawyer on details

In the hardest time of my life, I've got lucky to be represented in the court of Fairfax VA by the best lawyers ever ! This is Gerald Curran, Carl “CJ” Schoenherr, Melissa Rose, Delshawn Y. Ray. They worked together as a team to save my Daughter. My Daughter was in dangerous to be taken away from me ...by my ex wife parents (my ex had mental problems), they hired secretly one of the best lawyers in the area to make sure they will win. The opposite counsel was David Clerk, smart lawyer but was not nice of him to listening my ex and apply in the court for sole custody of my 3 years old daughter. I was really impressed by the team Work of Gerry Curran and on time help for me, i was prepared for deposition and i was prepared for the court by them. Its hard to imagine my situation of our daughter custody without Gerry s representation. 2018 th year was a really hard year for me and i guess for lawyers was too, but we did it! and we won !!! I've got the primary physical custody of my little girl. If Gerry Curran will tell you he is an expensive lawyer , don't listening him, he deserves more money for what he do, and he is doing honestly and professionally. Its rare to find a professional lawyer and with big Soul! That's him Gerry Curran and CJ. Usually lawyers don't have emotional attachment to the client, in order to be professional and be neutral, but Gerry will listening you and understand you! Many facts are really hard to proof in the court without records but in my case Gerry Curran with Carl Schoenherr founded a way to proof and save my daughter. In the court i was impressed by the team work of Gerald Curran with Carl Schoenherr (CJ), time of speech was limited, i didn't get a chance to speak even, Carl Schoenherr was making sure Gerry Curran will speak all we have to speak in front of the judge, making quickly notice in case he miss something. For people who don't know what is to go in the court without a lawyer i will advice never go without a lawyer, otherwise the judge won't ask you even your name, you will automatically lose the case even if you are right in the same case. And hiring an experienced lawyer like Gerald Curran and Carl Schoenherr is mandatory in order to win or too keep the case under legal control and representation in the court. I will highly recommend Curran Moher Weis, in special Gerald Curran With Carl Schoenherr. Thank you a lot for saving my daughter's life and my life! God bless you for what you do ! keep doing because the healthy family and happy kids are the most important reason for our life! and don't let mean people to get the power over the little kids teaching them bad thinks as a normal thinks. Now im a single dad but very happy single dad that i saved my child from a mental disordered mom and her mean step father and mean mom.

Excellent and hard working lawyer

If you need help in family law and the outcome matters, you should talk to Curran Moher Weis. Mr. Carl Schoenherr was my primary contact at Curran Moher Weis for my complex divorce process. First of all, he has been an excellent council throughout the entire divorce process. He has in-depth legal ...expertise and was very confident in all matters. So, I always had a great feeling that strategies I took from his advice were the best. Second, he was always reachable for any legal questions and advises. What good a lawyer if you have a difficult time to reach? He responded to my emails and phone call messages almost always immediately and I was never felt left in the dark. Third, he amazed me with how quickly he found documents when I need to discuss. During the process, I have transmitted and received a ton of document with an opposing council. I don’t know how he organized all those documents, but it was very impressive he retrieved needed document in no time. Forth, he was very detail oriented and explained / presented complex situations or strategies in a very easy-to- understand manner to me. I was going through difficult times while continue do my day-to-day life, it was a great relief that I did not need to read and understand every document exchanged with the other party. Finally, he can reach to Mr. Curran (his boss) and other truly smart and long experienced lawyers and experts. The outcome was very creative and satisfying. The team of the opposing council had a few selected as “Super Lawyer”, but my team of lawyers were much much more capable and creative in ALL areas throughout the divorce process. Even though there are many lawyers received “Super Lawyers” and “Best Lawyers” and other “Attorney Awards” in Northern Virginia, but I know that I am very lucky to find Curran Moher Weis as my law firm and lucky to have Mr. Carl Schoenherr for my primary contact for my divorce case.
