A unique breed of attorney

It's hard to find an attorney to represent employees (not employers). Bob Schmidt is a unique breed of attorney. Bob's knowledge of Texas employment law is unsurpassed. He set realistic expectations from the beginning and he guided me along every step of the way of the appeals process. I highly reco...mmend Bob for employee representation.

What determines Avvo Rating?
  • Experience & background Years licensed, work experience, education
  • Legal community recognition Peer endorsements, associations, awards
  • Legal thought leadership Publications, speaking engagements
  • Discipline Disciplinary information may not be comprehensive, or updated. We recommend that you always check a lawyer's disciplinary status with their respective state bar association before hiring them.
