"I highly recommend Teri for any questions regarding the disability rights of students. She is very knowledgeable regarding 504 plans and IEPs. She truly cares about her clients and is committed to ensuring that parents' and students' rights are protected within our school districts. She will explain all options and then point clients in the right direction! She is responsive and a strong advocate for her clients!"

Relationship: Supervised lawyer

"I highly recommend the legal services of Teri Schmitz. Not only does she have a strong understanding of the law, she also is a strong advocate for her clients at every step of the process. Whether it is writing a pleading, researching a legal topic, litigating a case, or counseling a client about what steps to take next, Teri provides practical, articulate well-reasoned advocacy. Prior to law school, Teri worked for many years as a social worker. Her passion for advocating for children's rights in the school system as a social worker certainly shines through her legal work. Teri has a wonderful blend of compassion but also a pragmatic approach."

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.
