DCS Appeal

Robert Schembs responded quickly to our panic phone call about a DCS case in which my fiance was accused of neglect of his children. He assisted with our appeal and provided calming reassurance along the way. He presented different options to take in the process and the benefits and risks of each o...ption. The issue was resolved quickly and was handled beautifully. I would recommend Mr. Schembs without hesitation in any case involving DCS.

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.
