Bankruptcy and financial matters.

Most polite, professional, nice. Helpful knowledge in preparing case. I would recommend Mr.Schimmel. Helpful dealing with list of closure of financial matters to the end and beyond.

Posted by Marcie | May 21, 2015 | Estate Planning

Very Helpful

During a difficult time, when my Husband passed. Mr. Schimmel was able to walk me through the Estate and Life Insurance jargon and set me up with necessary documents that a single parent should have in place, as far as Wills, POA and such. Ed is knowledgeable, kind and fair fees. I will definitely re...turn and also recommend his services to anyone.

Good Attorney though ...

Attorney Edward Schimmel is a good attorney; the problem I had was what I felt was unorganized office help at the Northwood, Ohio officei.e. when phoning the Northwood office no matter what time of day my call many times went to a voice mail recorder which after leaving messages calls went unreturned.... When my call was answered and I let know the purpose of my call I was told by office help I would be called back within 30 minutes with answer to question and I would not be called back at all. As much as I feel Attorney Schimmel is very knowledgeable and do recommend him; I believe the office staff needs additional help. It is very frustrating to try to phone your attorney regarding a case you have paid good money to be represented and your calls go to a voicemail or when answered still unreturned.
