Saved me from any jail time!

Lela has represented me twice, both for felony charges. And I received probation and first offender, serving to jail time. She is always quick to respond!

Who I hire and who I always recommend

Lela is always on. If you need to talk/text she’s right there. She’s very knowledgeable and very well spoken. She will fight for you and make sure you get the best possible outcome. I met Lela by chance she was recommended to me on a personal injury case, which she won and got more than I asked for.... I then needed a criminal defense attorney and I immediately called Lela based on that first case with her. She was able to get assault and firearm charges dropped with no probation. Recently I have had to call on her again and she knocked it out of the park. Another aggravated felony charge dropped. She walked me through the process flawlessly just as before. I will always hire Lela and I will always recommend her to my friends.

Results, Not Excuses

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.

BEST ATTORNEY IN GEORGIA

Lela has excellent communication skills. She is clear, concise, dedicated, has high professional etiquette, and explains each step of your case throughout the process. I have hired Lela twice for personal injury and recently my divorce. Ms. Schmidt is diligent and orderly which is of high importan...ce to be able to be prepared for court. I would recommend LMS Law Group to anyone I know.

Love her!!

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!
