Client

Lisa J. Schmidt represented me in an unwarranted PPO matter. Lisa is, and was, very knowledgeable, confident and thorough in handling the particulars of this case. Her experience, understanding, dedication and expertise regarding this case, I believe, made a difference and an impact on the opposit...e party so much so, at the hearing, the petition was withdrawn. I highly recommend her. Her care and attention to my case was greatly appreciated.

Child Support assitance

Lisa knows her stuff on child support and how to get it done. Lisa uses technology like text, email, and secure transactions to facilitate her work. I liked this approach very much and found it saved me a lot of time and got me answers faster. You have to like working with your attorney, and feel co...nfident they are handling the details properly. I always felt that way with Lisa. I would hire Lisa again. Kurt

Exceptional Service from Schmidt Law

After an initial consultation I hired Lisa Schmidt's law services and have been repeatedly pleased with the outcome each time I have needed her expertise. Professional, candid, knowledgeable, thorough and effective are some of the words I would use. She excels in communication and results. I have ...been impressed with her speed to get back to me and the accuracy of her counsel. I would highly recommend Lisa Schmidt to anyone needing a top notch lawyer.

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.
