Family Law matters

John was exceptional in the handling of my child custody case. His knowledge and expertise in Family Law was displayed in court and against some very high profile attorneys (a team). I could tell he was very respected by the court and his ability to question each witness was so superior to the othe...r attorneys, he actually made them nervous. I would highly recommend Mr. Schorsch to anyone seeking an attorney who can get to the truth of a matter and leave you feeling like he earned every penny you paid him.

Family lawyer | May 21

Relationship: Worked together on matter

"It is my sincere pleasure to endorse Mr. Schorsch as one of the most talented litigators that I have known in my 33 years of practice. Although I practice primarily in a different state, we have worked on cases in both Texas and Colorado a number of times together. We also consult with one another periodically and I call Mr. Schorsch when I have an especially complicated family law matter. While he specializes in the more complex and "upper end" financial cases, he is also the best there is in Texas for all types of family law and other litigation, including custody disputes. I recommend him highly and without reservation. David Heckenbach, Founding and Managing Partner of Heckenbach Thompson Suazo and Dave LLP: www.htsdlaw.com"

Avvo Rating

Our Rating is calculated using information the lawyer has included on their profile in addition to the information we collect from state bar associations and other organizations that license legal professionals. Attorneys who claim their profiles and provide Avvo with more information tend to have a higher rating than those who do not.

What determines Avvo Rating?
  • Experience & background Years licensed, work experience, education
  • Legal community recognition Peer endorsements, associations, awards
  • 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.
