Updating a will

It was a pleasure working with John on updating our wills. Besides being personable and open...He asked good questions, listened, and suggested as he guided us in achieving a document that satisfactorily addressed our unique/particular context. With his staff serving as witnesses we were able to ...walk out of the office with a completed product that will be very helpful to our children. His price for the three documents was very affordable and a good deal lower than other attorney's with whom I had spoken. I would highly recommend the Law offices of John Schmidt and Associates for establishing or updating you will and related documents. Mark, Louisville, KY

I have known John for three decades. He is an excellent attorney, and even better person. You would be hard pressed to find a family law attorney with more knowledge and experience, but who is also as affordable as John.

Kind man who definitely knows his stuff

Originally saw John for a consult but ended up needed quick legal advice. the man was honest and communicated all my options very clearly. I am going through a divorce where the ex husband has taken almost everything I own. At the end of the hour I stood up, John have me a hug, and told me not to wor...ry about the fee for the hour. I would hire John over and over, although hopefully I won’t have to.

Step child adoption

Very informative, reasonably priced, professional and great at his job. I would highly recommend going to John Schmidt if your in need of a family attorney. We hired him to help us with an adoption. We had no clue where too start but he made the whole process so worry free and it only took a few mont...hs from start to finish.

MY HERO

Let's be honest. If you are consulting an attorney it's a pretty safe bet there is a storm brewing in your life that you are unable to navigate through on your own. As for me, I was caught up in a tangled net barely able to catch my breath, consumed with exhaustion and feeling completely alone in the... middle of my storm. Mr Schmidt did far more then throw me a life jacket and tell me help was on its way. He jumped in head first, recognized my most challenging struggles and took them upon himself enabling me to break free from the net then graciously pulled me out of the storm. And for the first time in a very long time I felt protected and significant. His patience, understanding, compassion and kind words have touched my heart in such a special way. My fee for his services was $2000. I would have paid $10,000. He is truly my hero.

  • Legal thought leadership Publications, speaking engagements
  • Discipline Disciplinary information may not be comprehensive, or updated. We recommend that you always check a lawyer's disciplinary status with their respective state bar association before hiring them.
