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.

Great divorce attorney

Chris worked with me thru the whole process, couldn’t asked for a better attorney. But remember he is only as good as you make him. With that said, when asked for information from you, you must give him everything he needs to fight your case, he can’t do a good job if you don’t let him.

Detailed and dedicated service

Chris provided the needed guidance, and took care of the surrounding issues with this case. He is very detail oriented, and works hard to see things through. His advice is exactly what I needed in this case, and he helped me to be successful.

Two Thumbs Up

I was initially very impressed with Mr. Schmitt because he was obviously very honest. He let us know what he could and could not do to help us and did not try to persuade us to utilize his services for more than we actually needed. This was in contrast to our "opponent" whose attorney showed up for e...vents for which our attorney told us he would be (and would have been) superfluous. He is definitely not the type to try to gouge his clients. This was a breath of fresh air, because we knew we weren't paying for services we did not need. This (the legal system) was a brand new arena for us, and we could easily have been taken advantage of. He is quite down to earth and conversed with us in a friendly, caring, yet professional way that made us feel at ease. However, he is committed to his clients and clearly not about to let his clients be walked on. He is very adept at explaining to the layperson how the legal system works and how to ethically get one's needs met within that system. We learned a lot from him and are very grateful for the services he provided and the subsequent results. I would recommend him to anyone who wants to cut through all the legal system BS and get the results you deserve.

"I endorse this lawyer. Mr. Schmitt and I have worked against one another on a number of Family Law cases in Wayne County, Ohio. He is a good lawyer and works hard for his clients best interests. He is friendly and easy to work with, often helping to solve problems instead of create them. Do not hesitate to give him a call if you need legal advice or representation."

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.
