About Lisa
Biography
I help clients and individuals to protect and defend their rights in the Metro Detroit Area.
I founded Schmidt Law Services to be able to work with individuals who find themselves in hard times. I know that most of the time, lawyers see clients during their darkest hours. It's my job to help those clients to address their concerns and find a resolution that meets their needs.
Because I know each case is different, I make sure to stay on top of changes in the law and, when necessary, push to make them.
When I am not working to defend the rights of my clients, I am a progressive Christian, and I am a worship leader for my church. I see my work as an attorney as an extension of my faith.

Knowledgeable, professional, and compassionate
Lisa took care of everything for my divorce. She explained my options, listened to me, and advocated for my rights during a difficult time. Whenever I need a lawyer in the future, I will hire Lisa.
