Relocation case

Brett is very honest and very knowledgeable. He was able to keep me calm during a very stressful time. He worked very hard to get a settlement before court and just when we thought it wouldn’t happen and it would go to trial, he was able to get a settlement and me and my son moved out of state withou...t an even more stressful court battle. I couldn’t have asked for better representation!

The best

Mr. Brett is 100% for his clients. He helped me with my divorce and custody case. He is extremely knowledgeable and I was able to talk to him with no problem and ask for advice when I was in need. He truly listens to you and gives you nothing but the best advice for your situation. I knew the second ...I did my consult with him before I hired him I would definitely be in good hands. He is there for you and to help you all the way. I truly chose the right and the best attorney. He is a fighter and I highly recommend him to anybody.

Great listener and great at advice!

Mr. Schneider is a great listener, understanding my concerns and helping make the smartest decisions possible in my case. He also listened to my wants for the out come of my case and helped me achieve them smoothly. I felt confident in his knowledge of law and his ability to represent me. He managed ...to cover every base imaginable to make me feel confident in court proceedings. I would definitely recommend him.

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!!"

Where's the 10 star ratings option?

If you are looking for an attorney who is going to fight for you...look no further. This is a SUPERB legal team. He leaves no stone unturned, he & his team held my hand through my extremely ugly divorce, child custody, & order of protection case...I want to give him 10 stars. Having myself & my child... safe is worth far more than what he charged me. His math skills & attention to detail are really quite impressive, he caught all the inconsistencies in my ex's pay stubs, bank statements, & on my ex's interrogatories & form 14...my outcome was far better than I had even hoped! Yes he is expensive but far better to get it done right the first time than have to go back several times. He is confident in a court room & it really puts you at rest in a difficult situation. He came up with some really innovative ideas for my parenting plan that the judge praised him for. This is who you want on your side for sure!

  • 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.
