Robert Frank Schnatmeier Jr.

I had never had any negative legal trouble in my life (40's) until October of 2019. To say the least, I was totally overwhelmed and scared about how the process was going to unfold. The charge was a misdemeanor but still somewhat a somewhat traumatic scenario for me. My step dad located Mr. Sc...hnatmeier through a friends recommendation and I am so thankful that he did. Mr. Schnatmeier took me through the process from beginning to end and helped to ensure that I did every single thing I could to receive the best outcome. Both he and Brittani were always available to answer questions and discuss my case. Mr. Schnatmeier has an excellent rapport with the prosecutors and judges in Cobb county which allows him to navigate the system in the most effective manner and best possible outcome for each case. I went from having panic attacks regularly about the whole experience in the beginning- to slowly being able to relax back into my normal life after hiring Mr. Schnatmeier. Once I knew he was representing the case and I was communicating with him- I felt like I was in good hands. If you do get into trouble, especially in Cobb County, don't end up standing in front of a judge with no professional legal representation. Trust me- you don't want that experience. When i did go into court for my case, Mr Schnatmeier was there with me and I was as calm and confident as anyone can possibly be in that situation. I was satisfied with the final results of my case.

Robert Schnatameier was a really good lawyer for my case! one of my friends recommended him to me! I had a free consultation and he had it mapped out how he would help me and what I need to do. I was at the wrong place at the wrong time for possession of marijuana that was not mine hanging with the w...rong crowd just cause I was in the car I got charged but Robert updated me as soon as he can asking questions and telling me what was the next step! And luckily he got my whole case dismissed and I didn't have to do anything !!! Knowing how helpful he was to my case he was a big stress reliever letting me know ill be in good hands and he will take care of me. I will recommend him to others and will use him again if necessary!

I've never been in any real legal trouble in my life, so when I ran into this problem I was extremely worried and nervous. I had also never been arrested or in jail. I spent a night in jail for admission even though my B.A.L. registered 0.0. I was worried about how jobs would react and if my future e...mployment opportunities would be jeopardized. Worry set in worse when I realized this was going to cost money that I just did not have and had no way of coming up with in time. After much contemplation and research, I was appointed a lawyer by legal aid, who turned out to be Mr. Schnatmeier. I was still very nervous because I thought my admission meant automatic guilt and not even the best lawyer could change that. I was very wrong. When Mr. Schnatmeier took my case he informed me he knew what he was doing and he works just as hard whether the client has been appointed or is paying for his services. This eased my concern and he was absolutely honest in all of his statements. After that first meeting in court, he got the roadside video and all other necessary information for my case and began working. Mr. Schnatmeier only needed a few months to find out the roadside investigation had compromised my amendment rights. Soon after, he was able to get me a plea deal that would mean no license suspension. On the actual day of my sentencing I expected to spend the day day in jail, but Mr. Schnatmeier surprised me after the hearing and told me I didn't have to go back to jail at all, for which I was extremely grateful. Not only was he punctual in court, but whenever I would call with a question he would respond the same day. Even when his assistant informed me he had other cases and may be running late the days I had court, he was there in time. He even called me from his direct line to answer questions for me. I was appointed Mr. Schnatmeier through help from legal aid, but the service I received from Mr. Schnatmeier was better than anything money could afford. He informed me my license wouldn't be suspended and it wasn't. He also informed me of how to get my license back after the case was closed. I would recommend Mr. Schnatmeier to anyone who needs legal assistance ten times out of ten. He knows the legal system well and is very responsive. I couldn't have asked for a better attorney.

I have engaged Rob on two personal cases over the past three years and have found him to be extremely effective in getting favorable outcomes. As a business owner, I have dealt with many lawyers over the years as both a plaintiff and defendant, and have seen first-hand the wide (and somewhat disturbi...ng) range of aptitude in the legal profession. I have absolutely no doubts that Rob Schnatmeier is among the best at what he does and I would not hesitate to recommend him to others based on my experience. He exhibits the following characteristics that I believe are critical to effecting good legal outcomes: 1. Deep knowledge of the legal system. This includes knowledge of the local courts and the nuances of working within them. 2. The intelligence and ability to thoroughly analyze a case from every angle (and both sides of the legal table). I know Rob leveraged his past experience as a prosecutor in thinking through the best defense of my cases. 3. Respected by the legal community – both peers and judges. It’s my opinion that the legal system, and the eventual outcomes, are driven by the reasoning, negotiation, and interactions of individuals within the system as much as it is by the facts of the case. Rob’s reputation and respect within the legal community is a valuable asset. While it doesn't change the facts, it helps in getting a fair environment in which to present the facts. 4. I felt that he put my interest first – above and beyond the “business” of being a lawyer. In this same vein, Rob has assisted me with other inquiries and made very good referrals to legal experts outside his area of expertise (or jurisdiction) with no hesitation and with no personal gain. I believe this is further evidence of his focus on the long term well being of his clients. I have found personal legal issues to be much more stressful to me and my family, and potentially more embarrassing, than business related legal issues. Robs compassion and discreteness, in addition to his aptitude and tenacity, have greatly reduced this stress for me in the few unfortunate cases where I have needed legal help. When it comes to protecting myself, my family, and our assets legally, Mr Schnatmeier will continue to be a trusted resource for me and my family. I recommend him with absolutely no hesitation.

Mr. Schnatmeier was the best lawyer I could ever ask for! He went to bat for me straight away. He and Elaine (his paralegal) spent countless hours on my case, even when it became apparent that I could no longer afford the legal assistance. He believed in me so much that they continued the case pro... bono. As the judge said, "That was very professional." I can not speak more highly of Mr. Schnatmeier, Elaine, or their representation of my case. I never had any concerns that they were not doing EVERYTHING in their power to see that I received justice. My subsequent acquittal is the result of all of their hard work.
