EXCELLENT

Mr. Schroeder is an excellent attorney. He is professional, exceptionally intelligent, kind, hard working, and dedicated to getting the job done well. He took my case, explained all that could or would happen, kept me up-to-date with each and every detail, and, within a short time period, all was res...olved in my favor. His superior knowledge of the law and his ability to work on his client's behalf go unmatched. I could not have asked for a better attorney for my case, and I highly recommend Mr. Schroeder to everyone.

A credit to his profession.

John has been our corporate attorney for several years. His counsel and advice have been vital to the success of our organization. We have referred him to several of our clients litagation advice. Each time our clients were impressed by his thoroughness and professionalism . I believe to be a man of... impeccable character and a credit to his profession.

A Proven Winner

I was involved in an automobile accident. I met with John and he explained the process. He is very knowledgeable and to the point. He did not hesitate to file the proper court documents. He stayed on top of every issue. He kept me informed every step of the way. It took a year and a half to settle ...my case. Because of Johns' diligence I believe that my case would have gone on much longer. John is also a true negotiator. He knows how to resolve issues between insurance companies and health care companies for the best interest of his clients. I would not hesitate to hire John again.

John has always handled my needs in a timely and professional manner with a touch of humor when needed. His advice is born of experience and is highly accurate. I recommend John often.

Sound practical advice.

I have retained John Schroeder for more than 20 years for both business and personal issues. I am an owner of an international consulting organization and have served clients nationally and internationally including start-ups, up to and including 35 of the Fortune 100 organizations. John has provide...d solid and realistic advice dealing with contract issues related to those clients as well as invaluable general counsel accross a broad range of legal issues. In addition John has represented me in a personal injury case with a successful outcome. As a result of his fine work, I have recommended many corporate an individual clients to his firm and they have also had very positive experiences. John's approach is practical, down-to-earth and he has always avoided the lenghty, fruitless exercises that I have experienced with other atorneys.

Avvo Rating

Our Rating is calculated using information the lawyer has included on their profile in addition to the information we collect from state bar associations and other organizations that license legal professionals. Attorneys who claim their profiles and provide Avvo with more information tend to have a higher rating than those who do not.

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.
