Driver licence
Bo did all the paperwork and gave me all the instructions for a successful appeal. Would recommend him as my appeal was successful.

Greatly enjoyed getting my client a driver license. Nice to see someone turning their life around and get rewarded for it.

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.

International divorce
Great lawyer he was able to get my divorce even though I was married in Italy. If you need a good lawyer he is there for you......... BZ

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.

Excellent attorney
When I was getting divorced no lawyer would take my case I called Bo and he said come right over he was so awesome showed up at all my hearings I was well-represented a professional attorney for sure no case too big or small Bo can handle them all. He will be my personal attorney from now on, his legal advice he's very trustworthy I would recommend Bo Schimers to anyone who needs excellent legal representation. And he is very reasonable. Not to mention a great personality. So what you need legal representation take it from me Clifford Eberts.Bo Schimers is the first and only attorney you need to contact! If I could give him 10 Stars I would.

Great lawyer
I thought getting my license back would be impossible having 2 dui's in 2months. I waited the year suspension and BO helped me with the paperwork and any questions i had. Hes easy to talk to and get along with and will answer a million questions for you.He even prepared me before going before my hearing at Secretary of state asking me questions they typically ask. And he made sure i had all paperwork in. Now im driving thanks to mr. Bo Schimers!

Beware of Bo Schimers
I retained Schimers to represent me in a divorce. He failed to return phone calls and keep appointments. He has many negative reviews that I wish I would have researched before hiring him. He advised me that due to his health issues, he was unable to file my divorce and would be refunding my money. He then returns my paperwork with a bill that I owe him for services never rendered. I strongly advise anyone not to hire this guy. If you research him and his reviews, you’ll realize he has a history of failing to represent clients in a ethical manor.

Although we strive for perfection, sometimes that is difficult. I was hired to accomplish some tasks in a dismissed case after my client was released from incarceration. This proved impossible. I can understand his frustration.

I would not recommend this attorney for any child custody issues!!!!
We signed a legal contract and I gave Mr. Schimers the retainers fee he asked for and he cashed my checks and went to court one time with me and actually did not help me. He did not argue or say anything against the other attorney and the other attorney also said that she never heard from Mr. Schimers. I could not help but feel the other attorney was running our case at that court hearing. He did not contact the court to communicate to them that he was no longer going to be my attorney and when I went to my second court date, they the courts were unaware that Mr. Schimers was not going to be respresenting me anymore. Mr. Schimers actually sent me a letter after appearing in court with me one time and said that he could not longer spend any time on my case due to other obligations he had and therefore recommended me to find someone else. So he took my retainer fee and was suppose to be my attorney and went to court once and then sent me a letter stating that he could not represent me anymore. He could not even call me and give me the respect and talk to me on the phone and explain this to me. Needless to say, Mr. Schimer did not return any of my monies to me since he is the one that said he could not represent me anymore and the retainers fee was suppose to be for Mr. Schimer to respresent me and out of that retainer fee came with one court date with me.
So my personal opinion is that Mr. Schimer would not be an attorney that you would want for any child custody issues but he might be a better attorney to represent you in other cases.
He also did not seem to knowledgeable about several situations and issues with regards to child custody issues or visitation issues.

As most Family Law matters can be resolved with one hearing, my fee agreement states that the retainer is for one hearing only and additional hearings will be charged at an hourly rate. As I am in business to represent people - the only time that I would "fire" a client is if I found them to be reprehensible or unreasonable.
