Excellent Service

Brett Schneider is an absolutely outstanding attorney, I utilized his services in order to gain custody of my two daughters. The process was long, and Mr. Schneider warned me of that from the beginning so that it wouldn't be a surprise. During the course of the entire case, Mr. Schneider was an absol...ute professional and really cared about everything that I had to say. Mr. Schneider built and outstanding case for my trial, which directly resulted in my winning everything that I was trying to get. I could not have imagined hiring any other attorney. Mr. Schneider is a true professional and expert in his career field, and will go to great lengths to ensure you get what you ask for.

Best decision I could have made!

I researched a few attorneys before selecting Mr. Schneider to represent me in my child custody case. I never had a regret from day 1. He genuinely cares about his clients and always goes out of his way to communicate....even if it's the weekend. Brett helped calm my nerves and even in court repr...esented himself to the highest regard. Honestly, in my opinion, his knowledge of law made the other attorney that represented my ex look ill prepared to handle her case. If I ever need any help in the future I will call Brett back in a heartbeat!

Excellent Family Lawyer

Mr Schneider is an wonderful attorney. I would never second guess his knowledge. When I first went to his office I did NOT trust any attorney related to past experience and I did not believe in the judicial system at all. He proved me wrong. Which I am quite thankful for. He fought for my children wh...en no one else would. He does care about your case. He does move mountains. He gave me faith that not all attorneys are just doing their job for the all mighty dollar. If you want a family lawyer this would be him WITHOUT question. He is worth his fees times one thousand. My spouse, my children and I are GRATEFUL for him doing his job at 1,000 percent. I don't believe we will be able to say thank you enough to Mr Schneider.

Guardianship

Brett did a wonderful job on my case. He knew the situation and understood not only the facts of the case but the impact it had on the lives involved. I could not be more impressed with how he handled everything involved and am grateful he was there to help.

An attorney for when you NEED an attorney.

I can't express my admiration and gratitude accurately enough. Brett Schneider is the advocate you NEED in court. His professionalism and dedication go above and beyond any expectations I may have had. All communications were prompt, and at a level of complete understanding. On a personal level, Bre...tt Schneider helped me through an impossibly difficult time in my life. I will be forever grateful for his expert assistance.
