Best Family Law Attorney

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.

Integrity,Excellence, Compassion

Mr. Schmitz successfully completed my divorce this year. I had consulted with other attorneys. I believe Mr. Schmitz was absolutely the best choice! You might find a cheaper attorney,but Mr. Schmitz's knowledge , expertise, and attention to detail will ultimately prevent problems. His expe...rience and judgment will save you money. In addition Mr. Schmitz's staff were prompt , courteous , and friendly. No question was silly, just forwarded, and answered as quickly as possible. As often happens , I had problems occur late Friday afternoon. On at least two occasions Mr. Schmitz called me back on Friday night. He took his time ,and used his expertise and compassion to alleviate my fears. THANKYOU Mr. Schmitz for assuring my future! I wish you , your staff ,and your families the best.

Excellent Experienced Divorce Attorney

Mr. Schmitz took on my complicated divorce case which included business ownership and family trust and developed a great strategy. I was not only impressed with his family law expertise and experience but his business acumen relating to divorce was outstanding. When a situation would arise we would m...eet in his office and we would discuss a strategy, he would break down the issue with calming demeanor and explain our plan of action. I would always leave his office knowing and feeling comfortable that he was going to take care of any issue with a positive outcome. I would recommend this attorney to anyone knowing that they would be in great hands.

Strong Tough No nonsense Attorney

Wilfred went above and beyond in my case. We were fighting an uphill Battle and in the end had a major Victory. He believes in Justice and fights for the rights of Parents. Have recommended and will continue to recommend him to every parent fighting for their rights.

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.
