Kurt E. Schnelz

We realize that everyone seems to love their attorney one moment and hate them the next; however, we went into this with the best of intentions and it was terrible. We have since hired other counsel after Mr. Schnelz, in our opinion, refused to represent our intentions as he did not want to be seen a...s that attorney who actually litigates and doesn't make side deals. We realize that, in our opinion, majority of all Oakland County attorneys are familiar with each other as it is a small community, but it was represented to us that he wasn't there to make friends he was there to see that our child's best interest was presented. He went on to make arrangements with opposing counsel without our blessing and when we confronted him about this, we were told if we didn't like what he was doing go elsewhere. In the meantime, without our knowledge, in our opinion, he inflated our billing to the point that it equated almost one year of services with our other firms in supposedly a few month period. Again, we had the highest hopes for this and always give the benefit of the doubt, but, in our opinion, it was time and money wasted on someone who just wanted, in our opinion, to take money from us knowing very well that he would not be the strongest player at bat for us as it would ruffle feathers and make him standout as that attorney, in our opinion.

When my ex unexpectedly filed for divorce and full custody of my young boys, I had no idea what to do. Thankfully, a friend of mine recommended I talk to Kurt. He said that Kurt was one of the best attorneys in the state. I went to Kurt and I’ve been thankful for that decision ever since. Kurt kn...ows the law inside and out, but just as importantly, he understands the process and how things work. He didn’t waste my time or money on insignificant items. He asked what was important to me and focused on making that happen. My priority was the well-being of my kids and I have no doubt that was Kurt’s priority as well. He cared about me and he cared about what happened to my kids. Kurt’s hard work resulted in me getting custody of my sons and they are happy, well-adjusted, young men today because of that outcome. I have no doubt that the outcome would have been different if Kurt had not been my attorney. It has been 7 years since Kurt settled my divorce and he has helped me countless times since and I have no doubt that my friend’s opinion of him was correct. Kurt is the best!

Schnelz Wells did a fantastic job helping me and my family through a challenging divorce and custody dispute. Consistently, Kurt Schnelz and his team demonstrated a fair-minded and caring approach that encouraged the best possible outcome for the family, while protecting my financial and legal inter...ests. I highly recommend Schnelz Wells for family matters.
