Brett is the best!

We decided to hire Brett after meeting with him and seeing his good reviews on AVVO. The guardianship case we brought to him was not pretty but it was necessary. He advised us and gave us guidance as we needed and to help settle our nerves. Needless to say, he was a heavy hitter when it came to court... time and we got the results needed for our loved one and we owe it all to Brett! His fees were reasonable and we'll worth the outcome. His receptionist is delightful and we knew if we ever had a question, Brett would get back to us day or night. So if you are having custody or guardianship issues, get your ducks in a row and go see Brett!

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!

Brett Schneider did an amazing job helping me with my situation.

Even though Brett Schneider is an attorney that usually deals with Family, Child Abuse, and Child Custody, he was able to handle my case and take care of the problem. I had issues with Mortgage company and he took on my case and handled it. He has helped me out tremendously and while doing it in a qu...ickly. I would hire him again and again. He is a very nice, respectable man who takes every case and situation to heart. He assured me it would be handled and he did just that. I greatly appreciate everything has done for me and I would recommend him to anyone.

I would recommend Brett!

I am very happy with how my attorney handled my case. I had a divorce case (no children) but it involved other complications. He was quick to respond to my many questions. He was also knowledgeable with the facts of my case as well as the statutes that affected the various components of my divorce.... He was easy to talk to and very personable. His fees were fair and I had no problem with anything that appeared on my invoice. I would recommend Brett for anyone who needs a good divorce attorney.

Great Lawyer, Great Guy!

I hired Brett to represent me when my ex tried to gain custody of my son. I found Brett to be very easy to talk to and very understanding of my situation. He was very good about returning my emails and phone calls. Thanks to Brett my son will continue to stay in my home and receive the correct amount... of child support that my son deserves. I hired a lawyer and ended up with a friend. Great Lawyer, Great Guy! Thank you Brett! I would absolutely recommend Brett Schneider!

  • 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.
