Will Allen Shindler Jr.

Mr. Shindler has helped me negotiate a number of real estate contracts which has saved me $100,000s in purchase price and future legal fees by helping me to make my contracts air tight. In one instance we had to bring him into a lawsuit that wasn't being handled well. He turned the case around and ...forced the other side to shut down their litigation and come to the table with reasonable settlement numbers.

I've noticed one bad review below but I can't seem to tell what really happened. Judging by its extreme nature I can only assume some major exaggeration as my experience was far the opposite. I had a major property dispute with some adjacent land owners and Mr. Shindler was able to quickly resolve th...e issue. We had to take the case to court but we were almost immediately able to bring these "neighbors" of mine to a quick and fair justice. I could not have been happier and his rate is lower then most attorneys i have ever employed. I would highly recommend this individual for any of your real estate or business needs as I now use him as my permanent attorney for all of my dealings.

I hired Shindler and his partner Jeb Brown in September of 2012 to represent me in a boundary line dispute with a neighbor that had encroached on my property. The following are the numerous errors he made while representing me: 1.Failure to know that a trust itself cannot be a plaintiff in ...a lawsuit like the one he incorrectly filed my case, because a trust itself cannot sue or be sued. 2. Failure to name me as the sole beneficiary of the trust as a named plaintiff, which called in to question at the bench trial of this case whether damages could be recovered after only being recently indicated as a plaintiff by my substituted attorney. (3) Failure to include the other members of the defendant's family as defendants in the case, specifically the daughter living in the home and the son who repeatedly harassed me several times. This omission drastically minimized my ability to prove that the conduct of the defendants was willful and malicious. (4) Failure to designate any expert witnesses before the docket control order deadline. Late designations of expert witnesses by my substituted attorney were denied by the court. This destroyed my ability to recover attorney fees through the testimony of my substituted attorney and greatly reduced my ability to recover mental anguish damages because my medical expert witnesses could not testify. (5) Failure to inform me that a plaintiff cannot recover attorney fees for a trespass to land cause of action. Shindler did not tell me this, nor did he tell me that there was another cause of action available that would have allowed me to recover attorney fees. (6) Failure to perform any discovery or deposition, other than a request for disclosure yet overcharging me for this case in an amount exceeding $23,000.00. (7) Failure to file for dismissal of counterclaims by the defendants after the judge ruled in my favor in October 2014 (8) Failure of competent representation resulting in excessive fees that were beyond normal and customary. (11) He also had no clue that I was not a counter-defendant when I was joined in the lawsuit by the defendant but a third-party defendant who could file a counterclaim against the neighbors. If I had not fired him, and gone to trial, the lawsuit where the Trust was the plaintiff when it cannot sue, would have been kicked out by the court and once the court signed a final judgment, I would have lost my right to be brought in as a third-party defendant with counterclaims against my neighbors as the beneficiary of the Trust. I would have walked out with over $100K in damages with nothing.
