This review is from a person who hired this attorney.

Him and his staff are very unprofessional, very poor representation an very expensive

I hired this Lawyer to finalize my divorce. He charged me $10,000 only to set up a court day. He is very unprofessional, dishonest and greedy. I got better results with the help of Legal Aide and free. This Lawyer only cares for money and he does not care for children or his clients. I hope he clos...es his offices soon.

Child Custody

I first met Dennis several years ago when I was going through a child custody dispute. Dennis was extremely informative when discussing my case and seemed genuinely concerned for the well being of my child. I would recommend Dennis Schuster to anyone looking for a Family Law Attorney with good morals... and judgment.

He helped get my kids home

When my kids were living with their addicted step father, Dennis was instrumental in returning to court for custody of the kids and ended up helping us further when circumstances spiraled and we needed emergency orders to get the kids immediately. The other lawyer was rude and demeaning but Dennis k...ept composure during the case and we now have our kids home where they belong.

Great Knowledgeable Attorney

Mr. Schuster was able to help me through many long and grueling hearings to obtain custody of my deceased sister's children. Mr. Schuster and his staff are truly committed to their clients. I appreciate all his hard work, his caring and representation through this process. He navigates the legal sys...tem with skilled knowledge and a professional style that makes you feel well represented throughout the process. I recommend Mr. Schuster to all my family and friends. `
