Robert Livingston Schupp

Good lawyer, I guess, for clean-cut, easy cases. Absolutely abysmal, appalling, and abhorent attorney if there are *any* points of contention, need for show cause, preparedness for trial or even child support hearings when you own your own business. Has a consistent history of continuing cases when h...e's nervous about the opposing counsel, and gives non-credible excuses for those continances. He will also withhold extremely important legal moves as options based on his impression of your financial situation, rather than laying out all options in a case. Gives unheard of bad advice such as, "If you get a check from the opposing party, cash it immediately, regardless of who will eventually owe, and will tell you not to pay child support until a judge orders you to. Demands that your communication be in writing, then only responds by phone call (no written documentation on his end). I suggest that if you use him, every time he calls you, send him a follow up email with a summary of your conversation and a request for confirmation. Because of this man, I see my children only 3 days per month, and have been ordered to pay more in child support than I make. His advice to me was, "just pay what you can. The worst that will happen will be that you go to jail."

Mr Schupp was very helpful in answering a question I had about my father’s estate. He did not charge me for the information and advised that he would not feel good about providing a service and charging me for an action that may pay less than what I would have to pay in legal fees and filing fees wit...h the court.

Paid attorney 1000 he cashed my check then next day went in the court room and threw me under the bus and recused himself. He has tried to practice law for years, NO ONE KNOWS HIS NAME OR LIKES HIM. Appears to be always in a tizzy frustrated and terrible customer service. He does more work for you af...ter he realizes you’re going to question his education and knowledge. RUN AWAY!!!

DO NOT hire this attorney! He has payment plans for a reason. He has to do all of the work himself, often forcing clients to do too much. Turns out my ex was willing to settle but Mr. Schupp wasn't returning her attorneys messages!!!! If Mr. Schupp would communicate with other attorneys I could ha...ve saved ALOT of money, time, and massive stress. Instead, he feeds your ego and convinces you to go to court. Isn't an attorney supposed to do what is best overall for his client? And he claims to be a Christian, which is part of the reason I hired him. I thought he'd pursue a peaceful settlement. Instead, I got a court battle. If you want an attorney who'll do whatever you want, even if it's not in your best interest, hire this guy. He's happy to make more money by going to court instead of doing all things necessary to reach a peaceful settlement. Payment plans sound great, but in the end you still pay more than you should have had to, and you'll be robbed of your peace in the process.
