Lela Michelle Schmidt

Would give 0 stars if possible. A close friend of mine hired her and she not only lied about how much money she was paid, she did nothing to prepare a defense for him, encouraged him to take the plea the feds offered him which was 25 years. A guilty plea would give him 35 years. That's not a deal at ...all. Once he fired her she proceeded to tell many lies to the state bar and judge to defend her theft of fees that he paid her. She is the worst defense lawyer I've ever seen. She does no defending at all.

No one ever thinks they will NEED an attorney but if it happens to you call Attorney Lela Schmidt. She fully investigated the case and gave us all of the options. Lela fought hard for our family and that is why we consider her to be a part of our family now. She worked with us and provided support, g...uidance, and true legal defense. If you or someone you love ever NEEDS an attorney CALL Lela Schmidt. With Lela on your side you can rest and finally get your PEACE OF MIND back.

I sincerely offer my highest recommendation for anyone who wants "The Best" legal representation by selecting Lela Schmidt. I personally know Lela to be an articulate, intelligent and fierce advocate for me and my family with significant criminal defense experience in both state and federal cour...t. Lela represented my son and aggressively defended him while getting several felony charges dropped. Lela helps people accused of serious charges and not every lawyer can do criminal defense work with compassion and understanding. And certainly not many lawyers can do it at the level Lela has done for me. Again, I sincerely offer my highest recommendation for anyone who wants "The Best", by selecting Lela Schmidt, Esq.

My ex-husband was so extremely cruel during the process of our divorce. It's hard enough going through a separation, moving, having to take care of small children and then you add all of the legal jargon that you're supposed to work through, it's extremely stressful & overwhelming . Working with Lela... she completely took care of all of the legal language that can be so confusing for someone who is not familiar with the law, I had to concern about nothing, she assured me of that repeatedly. Throughout the whole fight, when we got to court and after, she was a complete bulldog for my case! She is so extremely knowledgeable of the law, professional and took my case personally. She not only made me feel like everything was gonna be ok but also made me feel like my case was not just important to me but to her as well. By the end of the process, which took over a year, she was patient & calming every step of the way. I am so honored to have had her as my lawyer. Not only did the court ruling go in my favor but I received more than I negotiated . Thanks forever Lela!

Lela is hands down the BEST lawyer I’ve ever had. She not only treated me like a human being but also as a friend, not just another client. She made sure I was aware of all circumstances throughout my whole case and fought for me to the end to get custody of my daughter. She is brilliant, compose...d, and gets all the attention when she walks in that courtroom!!! CLASS ACT!!! I HIGHLY recommend hiring Lela, she is worth every penny and more!!!! Thank you Lela!!!
