I have contacted Mark Schmidt on numerous legal matter over the last ten years. He has a judicial temperament which sets him apart from many other lawyers. He always gives due consideration to the issues involved before responding. Once a course of action is decided upon, he stays with that course and does not vacillate between different positions. In court he has always been well prepared and respectful toward all parties and opposing attorneys. In two very complex defense matters he proceeded to a extremely successful resolution after a trial began in one case and caused a dismissal of a will contest in the other case. Both cases also came to relatively speedy conclusions with reasonable fees. I would never hesitate to recommend him or to refer cases to him.
