Great Attorney

I couldn’t have hired a better attorney than Darren and his staff to help me navigate through my divorce. I had initially tried to go out on a limb and do it all myself, but quickly realized I was in over my head as I was facing a contested divorce. I hired Darren and he was able to give me peace of ...mind, thorough answers to my questions and got a quick resolution, even after hours. He understood my situation completely. He and his staff were great at responding to my messages and or email in a timely manner. Always verified with me to make sure my expectations were being met and that of my children before taking the next step. He superseded all expectations. I recommend Darren one hundred percent. I will look to him once again if any follow up is needed as sometimes amendments are needed. Thank you so much Darren and Bobbie!

Divorce

Darren Schraeder was very professional and caring in my initial consultation. I was sort of nervous coming out of an abusive marriage, but he listened to everything I had to say and was very compassionate and informative. I didn't go through with the divorce then, but wound up filing with him again... a year later. He still had the paperwork on file. His paralegal Bobby is a joy to speak with. When I reached out that following year, it was like talking to an old friend. All my questions were answered and they were always available by phone or email to assist in anyway pertaining to the divorce. The day of my court date Darren made sure I knew what to expect and stood by me through the whole proceeding.......I really appreciate these men and have already referred Darren. I highly recommend!

Darren Knows Family Law In and Out. Excellent Attorney.

Darren got me appointed as primary custodian despite numerous challenges we had to overcome in my case. He was very professional in his interactions with all parties involved. He has a calm and caring demeanor. I never felt I was being ignored or put off. He always communicated in a timely manner and... always took my objectives into consideration. He had the unique ability to remain calm and keep me calm amidst an extremely emotional custody battle. Not only is Darren an extremely competent attorney, he is a good person and has a kind heart.

Darren was a Blessing !

As a father, asking to be the Primary Custodial parent is an uphill battle within the family court system. Darren was more than professional. He actually became invested in accomplishing my hope for my children. I am glade to say that, we won, then won on appeal and won on final hearing. I am no...w the sole managing conservative on my children. Nothing moves quickly in family court. Darren was always prepared and communicated with me regularly. He also calmed me with his wisdom, during many trying moments.

Don't waste your time or money!

Hired Mr. Schraeder for what should have been a very straight forward child support issue, and it ended up taking over a YEAR to settle! Communication was poor (weeks would go by before hearing an update), and often times I had to be the one to contact the office to get information. Very frustrating ...experience. Save the stress and added headache and go with someone board certified in Family Law, if that's the type of attorney you need!

Although I do not know which client made this review, some cases take longer than others. Sometimes the outcome of a case does not meet the client's expectations, but this can be due to a number of factors. I pride myself on making sure that my clients are well informed and are copied on all letters, faxes, and e-mails promptly. - Darren
