Professional, Personable, Knowledgeable, Efficient

I hired Scott for my custody case and I was not disappointed. My children’s father filed a petition to take them from me. I hired Scott to handle this matter for me, because their father was never around. I was shooting for supervised visits so my kids could get to know him, he made that happen. I sh...ot for full physical care and we were on our way to that, after I went for full physical care their father actually voluntarily signed his rights over and today my husband adopted them. Scott is very professional, personable, knowledgeable, and efficient. He never strayed off my case even with multiple cases going or put up with bs. Everything was handled in a fast and professional manner. The first time I went to speak with Scott I had both my children with me and when I was getting ready to leave he was rolling around on the ground with them playing peekaboo making them laugh. He is worth the money he asks for. Because of him I’m able to continue to give my kids the lives they deserve and they don’t have to be confused. If I ever need a lawyer again for anything, I will be hiring Scott no questions asked. He’s a top notch attorney and I will recommend him over and over again. Thank you so much Scott!

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... evidence, along with my case proving in good enough standing already, that I was able to go to driving school and as long as I did not get another driving offense I would be free from the charge. I was very pleased with Scott Schroeder and his services. He is not only a very good attorney but he is helpful and has compassion. I would highly recommend him if you are looking for an attorney.

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...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 !
