Posted by Clifford Eberts | November 18, 2016 | Hired Attorney | Divorce & Separation

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 leg...al 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.

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.
