Wilfried P. Schmitz

Found Mr. Schmitz on the internet, due to "Lawyer of the Year" title. Bad idea, I discovered. He told me it was my fault entirely for the bad family situation, without taking the time to get to know me. I proceeded to hire him anyway. When the opposing lawyer got tough, Schmitz became passive, ...and recommended I comply with the opposing party. He needs to become more aggressive as a lawyer, with more fight, in my experience. I hired a female attorney downtown, who was not afraid to go 'toe-to-toe' with opposing attorneys. She carefully researched a difficult and unusual situation for me, while showing me empathy and concern. With her help, I won the case, and was awarded my legal fees. If I had stayed with Schmitz, I would be still be paying for something the law does not provide. My advice: check around first!

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!
