I trusted him ...

I trusted Louis with one of the most precious things in life to me, My son. I contacted Louis after my son was arrested. Louis reassured me that he would fight for my son and said all the right things that a mother wants to hear, but it did not stop there. Louis and his team backed up EVERYTHING the...y said they were going to do, and we could not have asked for a better outcome. I will forever be grateful and will always recommend him.

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!

Big Hearted Brawler. HIGHLY RECOMMEND!!!

Not only does Louis rescue horses and dogs, but also clients thousands of miles away in need of someone to fight for them. Louis agreed to take on my case after my previous attorney had a family emergency and was unable to see it through. He quickly stepped in and up for me and I will be forever grat...eful to him. Two important lessons I've learned throughout the divorce process: 1) DO NOT try and represent yourself and 2) Hire Louis Schneider! You will not regret it. Also, a big shout out to his admin Deanna who went above and beyond to make sure my exhibit binders were ready to go and answered my numerous calls. Thank you!

The Worst attorney in Las Vegas.

Horrible the worst experience ever!!!! Go somewhere else. I had a case that started pretty simple and turned out to be a huge mess. If I could have fired my attorney without really upsetting the judge I would have, but every other attorney I talked to about it said it would be risky due to the judge ...in my case and how much time had passed so I decided not to. This attorney I hired was recommended by many other lawyers I talked to and had good reviews. I want to make sure others know what this attorney does so they are not fooled like I was and for no other reason. I have already filed complaints with all bar associations in my state and local area and advising others to stay away from horrible man. His office is also in a very bad neighborhood, the ghetto, be careful going there, his office was horrible it’s a tiny little stinky house. Zero stars.

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."
