Posted by Laurie | May 15, 2016 | Hired Attorney | Wills & Living Wills

So happy .....

So happy to be able to check "get new wills" off the "to do" list. My husband and I had wills drawn up about 30 years ago when the kids we young (and we were too!). Needless to say many things have changed since then I knew the old wills were outdated but never seemed to get around to doing anythin...g about it. A quick email to Mr. Schwemmer changed all that. Drafting, and filing the new documents, was easy and painless with with his guidance.

Family lawyer | Apr 13

Relationship: Opposing Counsel on matter

"I endorse this lawyer. Mr. Schwemmer were recently counsel for adverse parties in a family law matter in Baltimore County. Mr. Schwemmer brought with him to the courtroom a level of preparation and familiarity with his client and the case that was refreshing. He kept me on my toes and brought up several legal theories that I had never seen used before in a courtroom."

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.
