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.

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!!!
