Never use this attorney

Unless you like to give your money away never use this attorney. Half the time I wasn't sure he knew who I was. Didn't do what he said he would. Does not follow through.

Very disappointed

I hired this lawyer on a DUI case. When I first hired him he promised me he would win my case for me and said he would go to trial if needed. But once I started going to court I noticed he was always late and never prepared. He would rush and try to explain things to me right before I had to see the ...judge and I was very uncomfortable with the way he handled my case. He did not explain things to me and I was left feeling confused about the outcome of my case. I found out in the end he had misinformed me about what I would ultimately would be charged with: He pushed me into taking a deal I was not comfortable with. In the end everything he told me was not true. I regret hiring him I wish I could turn Back time & start over with a different lawyer. Overall my experience with this lawyer was terrible. I would definitely not recommend him.

Not very good lawyer

I've had this lawyer for about 2 years now on a armed robbery charge & during the beginning of my case he was helpful, called on a regular basis, but after I paid him all his money because he didn't let me know it's possible to give them half then the other half when their job is done he's just been ...blowing me off & I strongly feel like he's not putting 100 % into this case. So I would not recommend this lawyer to anybody with a charge higher than a misdemeanor.

Excellent, knowledgable attorney.

Schwarzbach is very knowledgable and knows what he is talking about. Doesn't make promises he can't keep. I have recommended this lawyer to others that would agree as well.
