Scott E. Schroeder

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...ponsibility teach every lawyer. Mr. Schroeder spoke my native language (Russian)and treated me with so much respect. I haven't paid a cent for his services, but he honestly saved my life. He has inspired me to become a lawyer. It's been 9 years since my case was finalized. Today I am talking my last law school final exam and I just filed my Bar Exam Application. I now live in Washington, DC and I work for one of the top federal agencies with some of the most powerful prosecutors in the country. I won my first divorce case last year while practicing as a student attorney within a clinic at my law school. My client was also a victim of domestic violence and homeless, just like me years ago. Seeing the smile on her face when the court ruled in her favor was the greatest satisfaction I've ever had. It brought back memories. Memories of the amazing lawyer from Burlington, Iowa who inspired me in such an unintended way. I have lost contact with Mr. Schroeder, but he has absolutely inspired me to become the person that I am today. It just happened that I needed some certified records of my case in which he represented me and I came across this website. I must write this review because people like Mr. Schroeder should be praised and recognized for their kindness and, most importantly, for the wealth of knowledge and dedication to the honorable profession of a lawyer. Thank you, Mr. Schroeder !

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... did the same work he did for a fraction of the cost, and in a fraction of the time, and we resolved the case a lot sooner than Mr. Schroeder had projected, and with better outcomes that he told me to settle for. Mr. Schroeder was difficult at times to get a hold of via phone or email.
