OUTSTANDING NEGOTIATOR

I am an international German businessman who was looking for a litigator in Waukesha County. I was referred to Attorney Schoenfeld through another international company where I had prior business relations. My company had sent $500,000 worth of product to a large manufacturing company in Wisconsin... and after receipt of the product the company failed to pay for the product or return the product. I hired Attorney Schoenfeld to file a Complaint. Howard has a very direct, clear-cut, non-rubbish type of approach to business. I not only received a good upshot but I learned a few things from Howard on the art and craft of negotiating.

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.
