A great and wonderful lawyer

We had just moved into a new neighbourhood and settling down and were constantly bothered by our new next door neighbor. There was always one thing after another and finally she filed a civil case saying our dog was vicious asking the county to put down our 4 year old German Shepherd since he had ...the nerve to go after another neighbor's dog as she was walking by in front of our house. There was no injury or a hair missing on anyone but that did not make any difference. The county came and took away our dog and gave us 15 days to prove otherwise or that our dog would be put down per the plaintiff's case. We learned about The Schill Law firm through a friend of ours and are so happy that we availed their services to represent us. We looked at their online reviews and their expertise in handling similar cases and thank the day we signed up with them. Once we explained to Jacie Cotterell the background of our case, not only was she able to understand what was happening with the neighbor but she was also quick in getting all the paper work in place to fight the case. She was available via email, text and phone whenever we had any questions. She was well prepared on the day of hearing and presented all our supporting testimonials in a professional manner and was able to get the witnesses to present facts as they saw it. She tore through the plaintiff's arguements and really made them come off as having a frivilous case. Needless to say the plaintiff's petition was dismissed and we got our dog back safe and sound. We would strongly recommend the Schill Law group to all our friends and family members should the need arise.

Jacie is Amazing!

Yesterday I observed a hearing at which Jacie Cotterell defended a beautiful four year old German Shepard guard dog. She arrived with her many exhibits after hours of preparation and love of animals who rarely have a voice in a courtroom. In Arizona, all dogs are treated as Capital cases, so this w...onderful creature faced life or death! Today the Judge ruled on behalf of the dog, and he is again united with his owners and his two legged family members and many friends who have waited anxiously for this good news! Jacie, if you read this, you have pleaded a case so eloquently that I thought I’d cry! Now, I am relieved and so happy to see justice done for a family who was blessed to have you defend their precious pet and protector! Congratulations!!! You are the best! Barbara in Phoenix, Arizona
