Wouldn't trust her with my dog.

I consulted "attorney" Schumate, she tried to charge me for $3,000.00 more than all the others I consulted because I never received a phone call back after I left multiple messages. That's when I realized that she was trying to get more money for such a simple case! So I asked around for advice from ...some of her past client's, and from what I heard, she seems to have morals, but it's an act or disguise and the basic underlying intentions is not for the client benefit, but her own. Now I see signs posted everywhere that she's running for Judgeship? I hope that you all do your own research on her, because things will not be better if she gets the position!!! Look into other options, and try to be at the polls to vote, it's in everyone's best interest in my opinion.

  • 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.
