Brett Schneider

Brett was very attentive, anytime I had a question he would call me back, even on the weekends. He treated this like it was his only case. Very impressed with his service.

He was great!!

Brett was great. He was very responsive any time I needed anything or had a question. He got everything done as quickly and easily as possible. His fees were very reasonable too.

Guardianship

Mr. Schneider went above and beyond to protect the welfare of our niece! After winning our case and allowing us the opportunity to raise our niece in a proper environment we feel like we owe our lawyer more than money can buy! We are so grateful for being introduced to Mr. Schneider when others turne...d us away or said it couldn't be done! Thank you so very much Mr. Brett Schneider!

Best divorce and child custody lawyer!

I went to Brett after my original attorney had to quit in the middle of my divorce and child custody case. Not only did he keep my rates the same as I was paying the other attorney, he really cared about what was best for my child and me. He helped me get everything I asked for, and more. The dissolu...tion was finalized, and I have physical custody of my child. Everything went in our favor thanks to him. He was more than helpful any time I would email or call him, and he responded within the same day. He's a great attorney, but he is also a wonderful person. His compassionate heart brought me to tears on more than one occasion, but don't be fooled because he showed no mercy in court. I would definitely recommend Brett for any divorce or child custody case.

Above Excellence

I'm going through an ugly divorce/custody battle (is there a pretty one?) & Brett is a brilliant attorney. I don't think I can even convey how highly I recommend him. This is the attorney you want. I wanted an attorney that could be victorious in this ugly battle & still feel I can walk away with my ...integrity intact, with Brett Schneider this is possible. He goes way above & beyond what is required of an excellent attorney & has walked me through each step of crisis that has come up so far....this situation is ongoing at this time & I feel confident that I'm in good hands.

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.
