Amazing Attorney

Long but worth the read if you plan on hiring Mr. John Schmidt. My fiance was in an auto accident due to a medical emergency he was having. He was given a citation and a court date at the hospital by the police. We assumed with the proper medical records to prove the accident was due to a medical ...issue it would all be over. Well that was not the case. After meeting with the D.A. he stated all of our medical records that were brought were inadmissible in court due to not having them sent to the court or an attorney with an affidavit attached. Then we were told because of a "new law" in Kentucky he would have to be set for a pre-trial in the criminal courts. We sat down after given the above information waiting to get a new court date, I paid attention to how the attorneys who were there conversed with the D.A., Assistant D.A. Bailiff, and Judge. I noticed Mr Schmidt and the above people mentioned seemed to have mutual respect for one another. We went straight to his office after receiving the "pre trial" date and hired him. Patti, his paralegal, was AMAZING and we happy to say he was able to have the charges dismissed without my fiance even stepping foot back in the courthouse. John Schmidt is repected by the people in the judical system and that makes for a great lawyer to have. Thank you for all you did!

He is not intimidated by anyone

He is not intimidated by anyone - judges, prosecutors, and other lawyers included. They are the most helpful and knowledgeable firm ever! A great person to have on your side.

Defeated the odds

In our experience, the odds were most definitely stacked against us. It took a lot to prove that we were a fit household for a child that had been put through too much. Schmidt is an awesome guy and a great family attorney. He was appointed our public defender, but will definitely be the guy we hire ...to file divorce papers and custody rights in a very messy situation!
