Karl D. Schefft

Nevermind that they were living there because their school was in another state and my spouse lived only 15 minutes away, and nevermind that my child visited me often. Karl was being extremely aggressive, making me look bad due to his behaviour, so my child spoke up saying that what Karl was saying w...as untrue and his anger was misplaced. He dared to say that my kid didn't love me and that they were against me and a bunch that just had my child in tears in seconds trying to say THAT wasn't true now. It hurt our relationship, since my child feared that I believed this man over them for years, and even still has seeds of doubt. He also slammed a door in the face of a family friend who almost got hit with the door. I just wanted a divorce, not all the added stress and someone making my child out to be the bad guy for simply existing. He was horrible to my kid and my ex spouse for no reason, despite us divorcing amicably. Which he knew, but he still treated them like the worst people on earth.

Mr. Schefft helped me through a difficult time when I had to go through my divorce. He was upfront, direct and honest from the start. At a time when I was not thinking clearly or completely of myself he guided and advised me on a clear and steadfast path. After 5 years I can claim he did a fantast...ic job of looking out for me and my family. He had me well prepared not only with the divorce at hand but all the finances afterward. My taxes and sale of the house were a piece of cake thanks to him. I have come to appreciated that fact over the years after hearing others complain and struggle. Their divorce attorneys did not leave them as well prepared or informed. So even after their divorces they continued to struggle with divorce baggage. Thank you Mr. Schefft!

During the emotional trauma of a divorce, you want to be well represented, listened to and have a plan of action. Karl was able to do that for me. He is well connected in the community and county. He knew the Magistrate and Judge that would be hearing the case. He also knows many of the opposing coun...sel all of which helps when formulating a strategy. Karl had a positive outcome for me initially and then on appeal. Highly recommend.

Years ago it was not common for men to gain custody of their children, regardless of the circumstances. Many lawyers I conferred with would not take the case stating that I could not win. Well, Karl not only took my case but won me custody of my children. In the ensuing years I've referred many of fr...iends to Karl because he is one of the most fair and honest lawyers I know. No one I've recommended has ever regretted hiring him. Not only is he a great lawyer, but he is a good person who genuinely cares deeply about his clients.
