Michael Shultz is the Best of the Best

Michael Shultz goes above and beyond any attorney I have ever encountered. Calm, thoughtful, experienced, I can't imagine going into a legal battle without Michael on my side. I recommend him 1000%!

Michael Schultz

Michael Schultz is the most amazing and effective attorney you could ever hope to hire. Not only does he know the law, but he helps you to understand what you are up against and what you need to do so he can best represent you. Mr. Schultz saved our daughter by helping her to get the best possible ...outcome for her DUI and felony charge. She is now doing well and has a future to look forward to thanks to Michael Schultz. As the parent of a daughter who needed the best possible attorney we could find, I am grateful we hired Mr. Schultz. He kept me calm and took the worry away from me as I trusted him to do what needed to be done in my daughter's best interest. I recommend him highly and will be forever grateful for his representation.

Avvo Rating

Our Rating is calculated using information the lawyer has included on their profile in addition to the information we collect from state bar associations and other organizations that license legal professionals. Attorneys who claim their profiles and provide Avvo with more information tend to have a higher rating than those who do not.

What determines Avvo Rating?
  • Experience & background Years licensed, work experience, education
  • Legal community recognition Peer endorsements, associations, awards
  • Legal thought leadership Publications, speaking engagements
  • Discipline Disciplinary information may not be comprehensive, or updated. We recommend that you always check a lawyer's disciplinary status with their respective state bar association before hiring them.
