Phone call

I called Tony Scheer about my case late one evening an it was like I had known him for years. I explained my case and my charges and he informed me of some of my options. He told me he would get with the federal prosecutor and get back with me. Within the hour he was calling me back. We decided... to make and appointment and discuss the case more. So I meet with Tony and it was like I knew that was were I was suppose to be. Tony began working on my case and I felt like I was in the best hands I could be in. He and his office kept me informed with everything that was happening with my case. I am very fortunate to have him negotiating my case with the federal government. Tony got my case reduced a lot better than I expected. Tony will always look out for the best interest of the client. I feel very fortunate to have made that phone call. I don't regret anything. I know I had the best Attorney I could ever wish for. I really appreciate all the help.

Avvo Rating

Our Rating is calculated using information the lawyer has included on their profile in addition to the information we collect from state bar associations and other organizations that license legal professionals. Attorneys who claim their profiles and provide Avvo with more information tend to have a higher rating than those who do not.

What determines Avvo Rating?
  • Experience & background Years licensed, work experience, education
  • Legal community recognition Peer endorsements, associations, awards
  • Legal thought leadership Publications, speaking engagements
  • Discipline Disciplinary information may not be comprehensive, or updated. We recommend that you always check a lawyer's disciplinary status with their respective state bar association before hiring them.
