I got everything I deserved and more!!!!

Scott Schlegel is an immensely knowledgeable and compassionate attorney who understands and will promote the best interests in his client. Scott really listened to my situation and understood my financial hardship during my divorce process, he truly gave me the comfort and assurance I needed and supp...orted me in every aspect of my case. He is the representation you want both in and out of court! Professional and courteous, truthful, and definitely aggressive when the situation called for it. Scott truly went above and beyond my expectations. I got everything I deserved and more and I would HIGHLY recommend him to anyone! Thanks again for all the help! Greatly appreciated.

Thank you, Nancy, for the review. I know it was tough at times. The process of divorce is never easy and at times stressful and emotional. I appreciate your continued faith in me during the process. It was a pleasure fighting for you. I always want what is best for my clients! Scott

Contested Divorce

I chose Mr. Scott Schlegel, Esq. from Schlegel Law Group based on a very reputable recommendation. After 30 years of marriage, I never thought I would need to seek the advice and guidance of a Family Law Attorney during one of the most difficult times of my life. Mr. Schlegel’s professionalism, exte...nsive knowledge, and commitment guided me through a very complex contested divorce with compassion and patience. He is adjoined by an exceptional team that is highly knowledgeable and efficient that will work with you to ensure your case has a successful outcome. His Operations Manager, Deb Beck was extremely supportive and understanding, from the very first day, she made me feel at ease and confident that I was being represented by the best, and I was. From the day of my consultation, through the Mediation, and to the Final Dissolution of my Marriage this team was invaluable to me. They got me everything I deserved and more. I would definitely recommend this firm to anyone who needs legal services and representation from a top elite law firm.

The Best Family Law Attorney in Orlando

Scott Schlegel represented me in a very complex divorce modification involving child custody and out of state relocation. I was consistently impressed with his level of professionalism and communication. Scott clearly explained the law to me, set my expectations for the most likely outcome, and the...n relentlessly pursued the best interests of my child. His experience and network of contacts in the Orlando area really paid off, as Scott coordinated everything we needed to support our case. Scott had just the right combination of knowing where to pick and choose his battles, respecting my budget and not inflating hours unnecessarily, but also knowing where to invest his time for the best result. He and his office kept me updated nearly real time on any developments in my case, and he was always available to me when needed. I was extremely pleased with the outcome of my case, and recommend Scott Schlegel without hesitation.

Child support and parenting plan after divorce

Scott was understanding and very compassionate. He understood our issues and helped us to understand the legal process. Scott represented our issues and used the law to get our revised plan that was much more fair than the original plan at the time of the divorce 8 years ago. We had to go to court ...twice and mediation once. He won both cases hands down. When my ex wife did everything to obstruct the process he continued to use the law and get our rights recognized. Scott's legal brilliance kept a very stressful event manageable and we all worked together to accomplish our goals. His legal team are very talented and suppoetive. If we have to go back to court Scott is who we will definitely use.

Best family lawyer in Orlando

Scott Schlegel is heaven sent! My case has been going on for almost 2 years. First I invested in Donna Hung and she did not give me the results I was looking for and she didn't show up to my mediation and the case got nowhere. After not being able to not see my son I decided to hire another lawyer S...cott Schlegel as referred to me by my wife I was first skeptical but after talking to Scott he insured me that I will be able to see my son. I consider myself lucky my case was hard to fight. Most of the lawyers I talked to were not sure if they were going to be able to get me what I was asking for. I hired Scott 2 weeks before trail for my paternity case he was so aggressive that my son's mother asked for mediation and gave me everything I asked for. Save yourself time and money by hiring Scott he is reputable and extremely knowledgeable.
