Supportive Timely Valuable Advice

Attorney Schnatmeier and Paralegal Brittani were so incredibly helpful with an issue from 2002 that arose from a recent Background Check from UBER. Each time I phoned Brittani was always very helpful by sharing info that empowered me to work through the issue. Attorney Schnatmeier retrieved documents... from the Court in an effort to assist me in resolving the matter that dated back to 2002. Then he phoned me and shared further info that I could use to work through the issue. This office represented me back in 2002. The fact that they willingly assisted me by providing information and steps was priceless! I am so grateful for they're help! What an AMAZING TEAM!

Criminal Defense - Get Positive Results

I can say without hesitation, that Mr Schnatmeier was focused on giving my 18 year old grandson the best possible outcome before he even received a dime for his services. He laid out the plan in our initial, free consultation, listing what he would do, and what my grandson had to do. He worked tir...elessly on the case and with his expertise in the law, was able to get parts of the felony charge dropped, plus, he got my grandson into the Pre-trial Diversion Program. Within 9 months, of the initial consultation, the felony charges were dismissed! He is worth every penny paid because my 19 year old grandson has a new lease on life!

Simple Battery Case

Mr Schnatmeier has to be the best, I was referred by one of my personal clients which she stated nothing but great things about him, not to mention he got her case dismissed. He’s super professional and I can he knows his stuff. I’ve dealt with previous attorneys he’s definitely not money hungry and ...will sell you a dream. Definitely straight forward and honest so I’m so thankful we worked together. His office is clean, neat and Brittany is ALWAYS on point with keeping you updated with your case. I highly recommend and you won’t be disappointed not to mention his great work got my cased dismissed. I’m very glad I can now move on my with my life. Thank you Mr Schnatmeier and Brittany
