After thousands of divorces odd situations are the norm. Hidden assets, foreign intrigue, children who may not those of the parties, grandparent meddling, drug, alcohol and mental health issues. It’s a big world - I’ve seen most of it.

Posted by John | September 06, 2019 | Hired Attorney | Divorce & Separation

Great result

Everything that attorney Schimers said would happen in my divorce happened exactly as he told me in the consultation. It was as smooth of a process as one could hope.

Divorces go smooth because I’ve done thousands of them successfully. No drama - just getting it done.

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.
