An attorney that believes in HONESTY!

Brett was my third attorney hired for my more than six year long child custody case. In a matter of a year Brett was able to get on the ball and do everything necessary to get us through trial completely and get a judgement that was most certainly and the best interest of my child. If you are looking... for an attorney for a child custody matter, Brett will be your person. If you plan to be dishonest or not forthcoming with any information, it would be a great idea to find someone else. Brett is honest, respectable, and professional. Not to mention, he has one heck of a paralegal!! Trult wonderful people to work with.

If you need a "Bull Dog" on your case call Brett Schneider

Brett Schneider, has assist me with several legal issues here in Springfield, MO. I do call him my "Bull Dog" because he does not back down until there is a favorable answer for both parties. The best aspect of Brett, is you go into his office and explain your situation and he understands. Even all ...the details about the situation that have know legal aspect to do with the case, but are important to you, and what has happened. He understands and sees the impact upon your life. He assisted with an LLC which was a very easy process, power of attorney dealing an aging Mom. He assisted me with a State Agency that was becoming very difficult to deal with, and he assisted. A couple of legal issues that could not be solved until Brett, became involved. There were issues that were very involved and dealt with a lot of different issues on each side. His staff is always available too, and if I have called Brett, I always receive an answer that day. Which is so important when you on the other end of a legal issue. So you know what is going on which I have always know with his office. I have referred several friends to Brett, and they have had the same results. He is an honest caring lawyer. It is always nice to do business with the "Owner's Name on The Door!!"

Great lawyer!

Brett was great from the moment we started consultation. He is very knowledgeable which kept me confident throughout the process. If you need help with child custody Brett is the man.

Excellent Lawyer!!!

I hired Brett after having very bad luck with a previous lawyer that did not care about me (a single father) or my daughter, he only cared about a paycheck. I was referred by a friend to Brett and was very pleased with his hard work. Brett was more than a Lawyer, he really seemed to care about my d...aughter and I, and fought for my rights to be able to see her. He picked up the pieces in the middle of our case and saw it out until the end. I would recommend him to anyone that needs someone that knows the law to stand in their corner.

Bitter sweet victory!

In this case my lawyer Brett Schneider helped me basically regain control of my finances and my overall life. I had just gotten out the military and was collecting unemployment when my ex and mother of my child filed child support on me. I filled out and filed all documents and sent them in but the ...courts didn't utilize them and charred me as if I was still employed. paying over $700 a month in Missouri for one child while I still have another to provide for ran me to and through the ground. I had been stationed overseas and missed years with my son to the point my ex changed his first and last name to meet the wants of her and her new husband. When asked to see him I was always told no. There's really no system that helps is like it helps them. The job I finally found still wasn't cutting it and I made the choice to give up my son to her new husband for adoption. Through it all Brett helped me with paperwork filing, kept me informed of what was happening step by step. Was very very reasonable on pricing and saw the entire thing through no matter what snag may have come up. Very professional and knowledgeable. He got Lynn child support stopped while the process was taking place. I just seriously know what life would be like if I didn't have Brett to help me out with this. And it was not good. I appreciate him and if ever needed for family issues/affairs don't hesitate to hire him.
