If you want a lawyer who will get the job done, don't look anywhere else!!!

I was in a complete crisis and Mr. Schmitz came through for me with no hesitation. I had a very difficult case and was told by several people including legal counsel to friends, that there was no way that I would be able to win. At the very last chance of something positive having to happen and walk...ing into court for my trial, I had no idea what was instore. My ex and family just stared and smirked at me as I was in the court room waiting for the hearing to start. Soon after the hearing began and Mr. Schmitz, the mood of the whole room changed. Not knowing what lyed ahead as far as my life and what direction I was going to have to take, I knew what I was trying to prove was the right thing and Mr. Schmitz believed in my case as well. All I can say is as soon as we started and I watched him practice the law, I began to breath again and I sat back in my chair and I Just knew my prayers where answered. In my experience with having to find the right lawyer, there is nothing more fulfilling than having a lawyer who can represent you with the knowledge, wisdom, and guidance as I did with Mr. Schmitz, he not only helped win my case, but in my opinion taught a lot of people a valuable lesson of " It's not so much who you know, but what you know, and when it comes down to it , if you want a experienced, intelligent lawyer'whos not afraid to shoot you straight, I highly recommend you look no further.

The best man for the job

Obviously going through a divorce is an extremely difficult time in ones life. I was a devoted father that was very involved in my children’s lives and was scarred to death of the prospect of losing my children. From the moment I first sat down and spoke to Mr. Schmitz I knew my children and I were... in great hands. He took the time to sit me down and explain everything. He explained the process, what to expect from his staff and he, what to expect from the opposing side, trick the opposing side would try to play, how to handle every situation and what to expect after the divorce was final. Low and behold everything went just as he said it would. One of the most remarkable traits of his is that he honestly cares about you and most importantly the children of the divorce. It was incredible how prepared he was for everything that came our way. I walked away with sole legal custody of my children and we have moved forward and are all doing great. Thank you Mr. Schmitz for your professionalism, trust, honestly, comfort, communication and for taking care of my children and I through this most difficult of times! I would also like to thank you wonderful staff for all they did! I would highly recommend Mr. Schmitz for all you legal needs!
