Excellent service and a helpful, professional attitude
I hired Scott Schroeder to represent me on a school bus violation. Mr. Schroeder was extremely knowledgeable on this subject. He helped to ease my mind and helped to build a great case for me. I did not end up with the heavy burden of this ticket on my record. Mr. Schroeder was able to supply enough...

Child Custody
I had a previous attorney in my custody battle and felt I was getting demolished. Soon as I fired him and hired Scott the whole thing turned my way. The momentum picked up and he was in charge of the show. I felt more relief after hiring Scott. He is fierce. Needless to say in a short amount of time ...

Mr. Schroeder inspired me to become a lawyer.
I was a victim of domestic violence, homeless and without income due to my then still pending immigration status. Mr. Schroeder represented me in my divorce pro-bono. Not only that Mr. Schroeder was absolutely amazing and extremely knowledgeable, he is an example of what the Rules of Professional Res...

I retained Mr. Schroeder for my child custody battle. Legal representation was strained. Deadlines were not communicated effectively. I wasn't kept up to date. Emails from myself, and the opposing side would go unanswered for days. I spend good money on Mr. Schroeder, found another attorney that...
This client was particularly difficult, as he often refused to listen to 20+ years of legal experience. He complained about numerous aspects of the law, including child support guidelines, and blamed his attorney when the other side rejected his proposals. I have many, many e-mails and phone messages between client and counsel to refute this person's claim of lack of communication. An unfortunate example of a parent who placed more importance on the financial aspects of having a child and threatening the other parent's new significant other than focusing on resolving the case. The client's case was finalized within days of my withdrawal, and no other attorney entered an appearance on his behalf, so client's claim that he hired a new attorney for a fraction of the cost is, shall we say, lacking in credibility.
