Posted by Juliette | August 04, 2022 | Hired Attorney | Mediation

Committed, Compassionate + Effetctive

After an arduous legal effort evicting hoarder tenants that destroyed my mother's future retirement home, I retained The Schaps Law Office after the sale of the property. My goal was to recover sanitizing and repair costs incurred -- from the property manager who neglected to fulfill her responsibili...ties that resulted in a brand new home becoming a shockingly uninhabitable health hazard in extreme disrepair. With rapt attention and a seasoned ear, Michael Schaps listened to my story and provided his blunt and realistic guidance. A small but mighty team, he and his associate Rachel were supportive partners who managed my case from the initial communication through mediation to the final settlement outcome. I greatly appreciated both their patience and professionalism as I navigated through this first-time legal process. And while I hope I never need to endure such a taxing and emotionally exhausting experience again, I am truly grateful that our paths crossed. Michael and Rachel provided expert service while creating a genuine, personal connection. I highly recommend The Schaps Law Office.
