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.

The best attorney in Springfield

There is not enough time in the day to say how grateful I am that Brett represented me in my divorce case. The opposing party drug it out for 18 months and Brett never left my side or left me in the dark on anything. We fought a custody battle and WON! We fought a property battle and WON! He is very ...laid back and made me feel like family!!

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!

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.

Brett made a difficult divorce tolerable.

When I first visited with Brett over a year before my divorce (with children) hearing took place, I had no idea what to expect from a lawyer or the process. What should have been over and done in months turned into a year-long nightmare, but Brett and his legal assistant were always available to answ...er my questions promptly and talk me through difficult situations. He even participated in a back and forth text discussion about visitation with my ex the day before Thanksgiving, which in itself, impressed me. I would recommend Brett in family, divorce, and custody issues as he cares about the kids and his client. He has a way of lightening the mood in times of stress and keeping serious in times of need. He fought a brave battle in court and in the end, my judgement was fair. I couldn't have asked for a better experience.
