Review Scott Schiltz

Excellent Attorney!

Posted by AndyWed Apr 17 2019

I hired Attorney Schiltz in what I was told was a uphill battle to get custody of my son. Mr. Schiltz was very well informed of the law and was able to communicate such laws to me in simple terms. He was polite, mannerly, confident and realistic. He was aggressive and had a unique understanding of filing the right Motions. To sum things up I got custody of my son although I was a unwed Dad. He is by far the best family Attorney in the state of Florida.

Scott Schiltz and I entered the divorce venue in this county (Pinellas) at the same time. He is an inventive and resourceful attorney who can think outside the box when it comes to litigating matters and negotiating settlements. I endorse this lawyer.
