Doesn't care if a client is incompetent

He's great at harassing grieving families and helping criminals exploit the elderly. He's happy to accept money from people other than his actual client so people without standing can harass family members using this person's expertise. He gives advice that can cost you upwards of $14000, but why sho...uld he care? He bills by the hour, so whatever happens to vulnerable, elderly clients doesn't matter at all to him. Run. Just run the other way.

Mr. Schmidt has provided personal legal services to my family for nearly 30 years. He is extremely well-organized and is an excellent communicator. His advice is sound and he responds promptly to questions and emergent situations. He willingly provides referrals to his well-qualified partners for ...areas of the law in which they specialize. In addition to his considerable knowledge, I have complete confidence in his regard for confidentiality and ethical behavior.
