50/50 Custody

Mr. Schmitz fought hard for my friend to protect his constitutional right to have equal possession of his children. Children need both parents equally. Thank you Mr. Schmitz for fighting for my friend and his daughters!

Good Experience

Did not move forward, however was quick to return my call and the phone consult was very informative and free. Considering a referral of his in a different jurisdiction at this point. Mr. Schmitz is apparently very well reputed and was recommended to me by a concerned parent.

Great Attorney!

Mr Schmitz has always provided me with excellent advice and service. He is extremely knowledgeable, hard working, trustworthy and compassionate. Going through a divorce is extremely difficult, especially when children are involved. Mr Schmitz and his staff have always treated me very kind and reall...y listen to what is important to me. His ethical approach to child custody matters really sets him apart from other attorneys. Mr Schmitz always puts the best interest of the children involved first. Without hesitation, I strongly recommend Mr Schmitz. He really fights for you and your children and goes above and beyond for his clients.

Practices law with integrity and dignity

What impresses me most about Mr. Schmitz is that he is smart, tough, and a formidable opponent, yet stays within the boundaries of integrity. He has a confident, commanding presence, and while working with him I was often struck by his extensive expertise. He always took the time to explain every ste...p of the legal process to me in terms that I could understand, and consequently helped me get through one of the darkest events of my life with minimum anxiety. Even his office staff is kind, courteous, and very competent. If you are in need of legal assistance, then trust me, you want this team on your side!

Professional and Grounded.

If you are looking for a lawyer to feed your belly full of all the fluffy promises your heart desires keep looking. If however you want a lawyer that will be honest with you and set you with a realistic set of expectations, which he can and will deliver on; you will be hard pressed to find a be...tter lawyer than Wilfried Schmitz. Wilfried was recommended to me by a very close friend who had worked with him in the past. My friend told me that he had used a different lawyer in the past on his case and that he wasted a lot of money because he should have used Mr. Schmitz the entire time. My case was to gain primary custody of my child due to a severe change in living environment with her mom. Wilfried was very deliberate and realistic in giving me a good idea of what to expect throughout the case and always gave advice that turned out to be true and helpful to the situation we were working with. Needless to say we won our case. I will absolutely use Wilfried Schmitz for any future legal needs and would not hesitate to recommend him to anyone in need of legal help.
