A

I highly recommend Louis as a family lawyer. Throughout my divorce process, he provided me with legal guidance and support. Louis was highly knowledgeable and professional, and took the time to explain all aspects of my case in a clear and concise manner. He was also very responsive to all my quest...ions and concerns, and always made sure I felt heard and understood. His staff Deanna and Staci are helpful as well. Also enjoyed meeting Louis's dogs at the office. A man who takes care of such happy dogs, is someone who truly cares.

Divorce and Custody

I highly recommend Mr Schneider as a family lawyer. Throughout my recent divorce process, he provided me with exceptional legal guidance and support. Louis was highly knowledgeable and professional, and took the time to explain all aspects of my case in a clear and concise manner. He was also very re...sponsive to all my questions and concerns, and always made sure I felt heard and understood even after receiving death threats by the opposing party. I am incredibly grateful for Louis for helping me navigate this difficult time with ease and compassion. Thank you!

Zero if I could, Beware, ladies especially***

I went in for custody and divorce assistance because he was referred to me, by people I Thought I trusted. I go in for an appointment/consult after 4 days of calling to schedule with no one answering the phones. Finally, Went in for consult the next week. A quarter of the conversation of what My... situation is, He said “oh no worries this is simple” and we have to cut the meeting bc he has to go to court. Okay, I thought, we have 2 months or so until actual court, this will be okay. Oh and being personally referred... I retained him then and paid at the rate he requested. I signed check over, “okay we will start next week, she says, we will call you and the girls will schedule something”. Uh okay. I hear nothing, then a month later he calls and says “he hun, I can not find the check” But my bank said it was cashed 1 week later. Hmmm, maybe the high turnover rate, unqualified staff and lack of common knowledge this “lawyer” has could be to blame. He figured it out 20minutes later then blamed the “girls”. That’s just the tip of the iceberg with this individual. He made inappropriate comments false statements and He cares about No one as well as Nothing that does not benefit him first. Typical unqualified Attoney whom is a true Narcissist, Greedy, Slimy, Inappropriate, Bark no Bite, Pompous Pig! ~Please do your research, use your gut intuition when you meet an attorney like this, no matter how or whom referred you.~

Awesome work!

Louis and his staff are an exceptional team! Joe his law clerk is a phenomenal writer. Mindy an employee of the office will take her time to speak to you. At anytime you need to speak to Louis he calls you as soon as possible. They assure you someone will always be available for you.... even just to ...vent. Very reasonable price. Louis is very knowledgeable with the law as well as Joe. His law clerk can’t give you legal advice but he knows the law which made it very easy for me to do research on my own. Louis suffered with some issues during my case & I never once felt like the office as a whole forgot about my case the office still ran well during his issues! I trust this man! He doesn’t care about the money he cares to HELP you! Never have I felt “Robbed” but stronger as a woman for sure! STAND UP FOR YOURSELF & IF YOU CAN’T LOUIS WILL DEFINITELY GET THE JOB DONE FOR YOU!

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."
