Highly recommended

Mr. Schneider has represented me on two criminal cases and we won both times. He knows the law and does his research. If it wasn't for his research I would have lost my case. He's now the only lawyer my family will use.

Awesome......

all I can say is that I had multiple cases and I had no idea what to do. I made the call and from the first phone call I made I knew that I made the right decision. His assistant was awesome and he handled my case and sorted everything out with lighting speed . Now I can continue living life normally... . Thank you Louis Schneider I owe you everything..

A "lawyer's lawyer"!

Louis Schneider came to my rescue in a legal matter with sound legal advice I could trust and with legal skills respected by both his peers and the courts alike. His efforts resulted in a fair and equitable judicial review and ultimate decision by the Court bringing a favorable end to a legal strug...gle that I had been fighting for nearly five years. Without his legal experience and ability to quickly analyze a path to resolving the matter I can honestly say that my legal battles would have bankrupt me. I would highly recommend the services of Louis C. Schneider to anyone who is in need of a "lawyer's lawyer."

Grandparents Rights

Mr Schneider was an immense amount of help. As A grandmother, I love spending time with my grand kids. My daughter uses them as tools to get money from me. So I went to Mr Schneider for some legal advice about my rights as a grandmother and if I should fight for visitation. He was sympathetic, kno...wledgeable and non judgmental. I appreciated every moment he spent with me. I left feeling like if I wanted to fight the good fight, he would be in my corner. I will go back when I am strong enough to win the fight. Thank You Mr. Schneider, you gave me hope!

Relationship: Worked together on matter

"I no longer work in the realm of criminal law, however, when I did I teamed up with Louis on a couple high profile cases because this lawyer knows what is necessary for strong representation of the accused. I’ve seen him work hard and smart for our clients. He’s a quick thinker and always is analyzing, helping all kinds of people over the years with passion. Back when I first started helping the accused, I turned to Louis as a mentor and he did not disappoint, giving me access to the depth and breadth of his knowledge and experience."
