Richard D. C. Schrade Jr.

Attorney Richard Schrade: A Man of Integrity Who Fought and Won for My Son I want to sincerely express my gratitude for Attorney Richard Schrade. From the very first moment we met him, he greeted my family with genuine warmth and a smile that gave us hope during an incredibly overwhelming time. ... My son was facing a very serious case involving multiple people, and the weight of it was heavy on our entire family. What truly sets Attorney Schrade apart is not just his legal skill, but his accessibility and his heart. Anytime I called, he answered if he was available. If he wasn’t, he always returned my calls as soon as he could—often within an hour—and he responded to every text message. In a process where you can feel like just another case number, he made us feel seen, heard, and supported. Before the case really got underway, I remember feeling deeply insulted when the prosecutor referred to my son and the others as a “pack of wolves.” That moment stayed with me. But where others tried to define my son in a negative light, Attorney Schrade saw the truth. He didn’t just see a case—he saw a young man who was scared, fighting for his life, and deserving of a chance. That meant everything to us. From the beginning, he made it clear that he would fight for my son—and he kept that promise and won the fight. The way he spoke, with confidence and professionalism, made a powerful impact. Because of his work, my son was granted a bond within a week—something that felt almost impossible given the seriousness of the situation. What touched us even more was what happened after the case. Attorney Schrade reached out to my son just to wish him well in life. That speaks volumes about the kind of man he is. My family and I will never be able to fully repay him for what he has done. He didn’t just represent my son with his skills—he helped save my son’s life, and for that, my son and I will forever be grateful. If you are looking for an attorney who will truly see you for who you are, and fight for you with everything he has, Attorney Richard Schrade is the one.

I already have custody of 2 kids and is blessed I didn't lose custody completely due to the laziness of Richard Shrade at my hearing I personally feel he didn't even prepare for. After providing several key legal documents to support my case absolutely none of it was used because Richard dismissed my... testimony to the judge leaving only the testimony of my ex wife which was full of lies. My testimony was dismissed without consulting me at all in court. A course I was lectured by the judge because only one testimony given. Cross examination by him was a complete joke.

I was in the middle of a terrible litigation storm with my sons father and it seemed like it would never end. We had been going back and forth to court for well over a year and I could not see the light at the end of the tunnel. I had been through over 4 attorneys...yes, I said 4!!! In February of 20...18 a family friend suggested I meet with Mr.Schrade to see what options there were for me to move forward and possibly even wrap up the litigation altogether. I was nervous and I assumed Mr. Schrade would be like all the others but boy was I wrong. For started Mr. Schrade is an extremely kind and respectful person. Every attorney I had prior was somewhat rude or too aggressive towards me when I asked questions or for undertaking. Mr.Schrade was the total opposite... it makes a huge difference when someone treats you like a person instead of job or simply another case number. Mr. Schrade was able to close a case that had been lingering for over two years in just 2 short months! It is the best feeling in the world knowing that someone can no longer hold the threat of taking custody over your head. Mr. Schrade was an angel towards me but a fighter in the courtroom. After spending over $8,000 on different attorneys and feeling like I was wasting time and money, I now know who to choose if I ever find myself in a familiar situation.

This is the second time I’ve used Mr. Schrade’s services. The first was for a civil matter, which he negotiated expertly to my benefit, and more recently for a minor criminal matter. From our first meeting until the disposition of my case, Mr. Schrade demonstrated complete professionalism and a th...orough determination to have my case either dismissed or to proceed with as little damage to me as possible. He knows the legal system expertly, and worked diligently to strategize, present a strong defense, and negotiate a fair penalty. Mr. Schrade made to feel confident but realistic about potential outcomes and always answered my questions and addressed my concerns promptly. Simply put, Mr. Schrade showed a commitment to my case that I likely would not have received from most attorneys, and as a result, I received what I believe is the best possible outcomes in both instances. Mr. Schrade is incredibly talented and effective and I highly recommend him to anyone in need of an attorney.
