Peace of Mind

Mr. Schneider is very adept at taking control of situations out of the starting gate with opposing counsel yet clearly well respected by them, it makes coming to mutual agreements or negotiations quick and painless. This type of representation benefits the client by mitigating anxiety, cost, and stre...ss. Too many attorneys will throw gas on the fire which can lead to prolonged litigation and massive fees. He gives a strong sense of security and alleviates the overwhelming fear and uncertainty created by a child custody case. Mr. Schneider is very kind and personable, it’s very comforting in a high stress dispute. I’m very glad I went to him instead of retaining a lawyer I had consulted with through a friend, the difference is night and day. His staff is very on top of keeping track of the case, communicating, and they have great personalities. Mr. Schneider and his staff are genuine people that will take care of your case the right way so you feel a great weight taken off your chest knowing you’re in good hands.

Best attorney by far

Retaining Louis Schneider was by far the best decision I ever made. Going into court I was so scared I was expecting things to go very different then they did. Louis fought for me he knew my case inside and out and by the time it was all over he not only won my motion against my ex but he also got m...e everything he said I should have had all along. I walked out of that court room happier then I ever thought possible. I couldn't have asked for a better attorney.

Over charging!

Do not go to this lawer I came to him while pregnant and in a low emotional stage seeking an advice for a divorce, we open a retainer in which I asked not to take actions until I say I’m ready I even wrote an email asking to not take any actions in the file. When I asked to stop the process I ...got a charge that was simply over proportional and didn’t Match my request at all! After contacting the office asking for explanation it took them weeks to give me an answer, I called and got ignored, the reply from them was not satisfying at all. This law office is not reliable.

Best decision of my life

After being served by ex with custody papers I was recommended Louis by a friend. I went into his office afraid and anxious. After meeting with him and his outstanding paralegal Roxanne I knew I had made the right choice. They are very professional and he really knows what he is doing. He blew my min...d in court. He knows what to look for when trying to win a case. I got exactly what I needed and wanted for my case. I couldn’t be happier.

Super! SUPER!!

I hired Mr. Schneider to represent me on my child custody case. My children are older and I have been through this family court nightmare for years. I can honestly say that this has been the best experience. Louis and Roxanne make such a great team! I truly don't believe that anyone leaves fam...ily court happy, but at least Louis and Roxanne made this experience a good one for me this time. If you want an excellent attorney that truly cares about his clients, call Louis. You'll see what I mean.

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."
