Wilfried P. Schmitz

Mr. Schmitz is a fantastic attorney. I contacted his office to handle my high conflict case after hiring four other attorneys. My case was very messed up, and it was highly stressful. I was delighted with the results I got in the trial. Mr. Schmitz is very knowledgeable about family law. He taught m...e a lot as well; I will be graduating next week in paralegal studies. He returns phone calls and emails quickly. He is personable and helped me to calm down. Mr. Schmitz restored my faith in attorneys. His paralegal, Molly, is terrific as well. He is more expensive than other attorneys but well worth it. Do not waste money on other attorneys.

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.

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!
