Outstanding lawyer

As an out-of-town client needing to respond quickly to a divorce filing, I was fortunate to have found and hired Attorney Chris Schmitt. From our first meeting, I was impressed by his deep understanding of family law and his extensive experience within the Wooster Court system. Throughout the year-lo...ng proceedings, Chris was thorough, communicative, and always took the time to explain each step of the process. He promptly answered my questions and arranged Zoom hearings whenever possible to accommodate my location. Beyond his professionalism and expertise, Attorney Schmitt stands out for his passion for his work and the humble, caring approach he brings to his clients.

Professional and knowledgeable legal advisor

Attorney Schmitt is a very professional legal advisor. He has been there every step of the way during my long, and ongoing, divorce process providing straightforward and timely guidance along the way. He knows what he is doing, and does not/will not lead his clients down the wrong path just to line h...is pockets (unlike some attorneys). He understands the emotional stress you go through during a divorce, and cares about what is in your - and your children's - best interest.

Great family attorney

If you are looking for someone to represent you then I recommend Chris. He has always taken care of us and is very knowledgeable. He will not steer you in the wrong direction. He knows everything you are saying and listens and remembers. If he is saying not yet or wait then just listen because he kno...ws when to file certain things. Have patience and trust Chris. We unfortunately have had to hire him twice and would a third time if necessary. He is not out to just take your money and truly wants what is best for the children. His price may seem steep, but you really are getting what you pay for.

Diligent

Mr. Schmitt was diligent, consistant and got the job done. We always waited for the other opposing counsel for a response. Be patient with him because it's not always his fault if he doesn't get back. Very reasonable cost wise and will work with you. Has a great secretary.

Caring and insightful

Christopher literally held my hand throughout the dissolution process. His pragmatic approach and attitude was backed up by what seemed like his nearly photographic memory recall of past cases. I couldn't possibly recommend more highly a family law attorney.

Avvo Rating

Our Rating is calculated using information the lawyer has included on their profile in addition to the information we collect from state bar associations and other organizations that license legal professionals. Attorneys who claim their profiles and provide Avvo with more information tend to have a higher rating than those who do not.

What determines Avvo Rating?
  • Experience & background Years licensed, work experience, education
  • Legal community recognition Peer endorsements, associations, awards
  • 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.
