The best Criminal Defense Lawyer

Working with Lela Schmidt was an exceptional experience. From the outset, she demonstrated unparalleled professionalism and dedication to my case, ensuring every detail was meticulously examined. Lela’s approach was not only comprehensive but also incredibly personal; she genuinely cared about provin...g my innocence. Her expertise in navigating complex legal landscapes, combined with her steadfast commitment to justice, was evident in every interaction. Thanks to Lela, the truth prevailed, and I was exonerated. I wholeheartedly recommend her to anyone seeking a lawyer who truly goes above and beyond for her clients.

Terrible defense lawyer!!

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.
