Jean Schiedler-Brown

When I got into trouble with the state and they wanted their money back, Ms. Scheidler-Brown saved my butt. First time we met, she fitted me in on an emergency basis, then said the magic words, "You don't need a lawyer yet. You need to do this and this and if they do that, then you do this, then co...me and see me. So I did all that and got denied, of course, then went back to Jean. With a short deadline forced on us by the state's lack of resources, she quickly made the necessary arrangements to accommodate my special needs and conducted the Administrative Law Hearing from her office. Her summation at the end was perfect. Two days later I got the ruling that the department had been reversed, and I had won. Hiring Jean Scheidler-Brown was the critical step that made that happen, and I remain forever grateful. In the process, she saved me around $7k. :-{)}

It was my extreme misfortune to have Ms.Jean Schiedler-Brown represent me in a fairly uncomplicated divorce settlement case. Both my wife and I wanted this divorce to be over quickly and in a fair fashion. In over a year and half as my attorney, Ms. Schiedler-Brown refused to speak directly to the op...posing attorney in any real attempt to settle and finalize my divorce. She did not return my phone calls over that time or respond back to the numerous FAX’S I sent her in my attempt to have her act in a timely and professional manner. I believe that Ms. Schiedler-Brown basically chose to ignore my case. I later found out that the opposing attorney had transmitted some settlement offer proposals to Ms. Schiedler-Brown. I would have considered these proposals at that time but I was not informed of them. I found Jean Schiedler-Brown to be both uninformative and extremely unresponsive to my needs as a client. I subsequently fired her and obtained another attorney. Divorce is bad enough and made even worse with an incompetent attorney.
