Hands down the best

I hired Mr. Schneider for a child custody case and I won sole custody of my twin boys ! Happiest day of my life , besides the day they were born. This man’s knowledge and professionalism is impressive to say the least . He truly cares for his clients and the outcomes of their cases.

Great Lawyer!

Louis Schneider has represented me several times over many years. Most recently in a family court trial. It was amazing how he found common ground with me and practical solutions for my case within minutes of meeting with me. The stress was really lifted away with his confidence and knowledge. I have... repeatedly been witness to his passion for justice and true concern for those who need it. This is a rare quality to find in an attorney and quite refreshing. His intelligence and skill in the courtroom is an amazing thing to behold. Louis Schneider and his staff took one of the most intimidating days of my life and instead of feeling weak and vulnerable walked me into and out of that courtroom feeling like I was filming a new Cadillac XT6 “Crew Ready” commercial. On a serious note though any court dealings, especially when they involve your family, are heartbreakingly difficult. If you are looking for someone fair and understanding but also a beast no one would want to oppose in the courtroom you are looking for Louis Schneider. When Louis says he’s going to take care of something that’s it it’s done, he’s amazing. I think his level of professionalism and competence really speaks for itself. He will always have my endorsement for all he has done for my children and I. I started out thinking I could somehow navigate through on my own but it’s not just the knowledge and efficiency a good attorney can bring to a case. There is so much at stake in family court and I really and truly would not have succeeded to the point I am now without Louis. Freedom, peace of mind, justice. There’s no price for those things and he gets it. Great Lawyer! Worth the wait! Worth every penny and so much more! Thank you Louis and staff at Law Offices of Louis C. Schneider for everything!!!

Worth every penny & more

During the initial consultation Mr Schneider gave me hope from the very beginning. What had been a down hill battle for over 4 yrs, an going custody battle against my ex husband with documented proof of domestic violence, child endangerment, drug abuse and criminal charges, I truly felt I was stuck ...in the loop of the family court system. Mr Schneider made a point to not only hear my story on a one on one appointment but met my young children to understand the gravity of our life. He assured me I wasnt the first to be living the cycle of abuse even after divorce and I wasnt crazy. He studied my case and when it came time for trial, he not only fought honorably but effectively. He knew the law for both family and criminal court, prioritied the most pertinent facts in my case without minimizing the others, advocated for my children's healthy, safety and wellbeing like they were his own, and checked in with me before agreeing to anything. He Gave me, the client, all the options available so I could make an informed choice of my own. He gave me my voice after it had been silenced for so long. As I Walked out on our last day of court, I was in shock. After all his help, I was awarded primary custody from a 50/50 agreement, awarded fair child support to be regulated through the DA AND granted permission to relocate out of state so I could be near family for support. I am still in recovery for the DV but Mr Schneider gave me hope and the chance to be the mother I intended to be. I am now a different kind of statistic and I'm proud to have been represented by the man who was my voice when I didnt have one.

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.

2000 miles away

A very big thank you to Atty Schneider for handling our sons case. Louis went above and beyond to represent Michael and to help us through a stressful time. Being 2000 miles away and unable to physically be there for our son was agonizing and Atty Schneider was as big a help to us as he was to our s...on.

"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."
