All’s well that ends so much better than I hoped. ; )

All’s well that ends so much better than I hoped. ; ) Dennis is an impressive litigator who made an extremely difficult family law hearing bearable. I thought I would be way too afraid to testify, and he successfully argued that I shouldn’t have to. Once that weight of the world was off my should...ers, I realized that I wasn’t too afraid. I believed he had my back, so I would have been willing to testify … if he didn’t get the case dismissed quite so quickly! ; ) Yes!

I’m always glad for a win, and your case was particularly gratifying because the judge threw it out without even having to put on your case at all. I know how frightened you were going in, and it was my mission to protect you and your interests as best I could. I wish you all the best going forward

Knowledgeable, Honest, and Brilliant!

Attorney Schroader is the type of lawyer every client wants, and all other lawyers strive to be like. Dennis Schroader has the utmost respect and admiration of his clients. I highly recommend him to others based on my experience as a client. His skill and hard work is surpassed by his modesty and com...passion. Dennis has proven himself to be a fervent defender of his client's rights, and a man with a passion for justice. Additionally, Dennis displayed excellent negotiation skills in my case and was a beacon of hope to my children, family, and myself. I came to Dennis Schroader, after extreme frustration with the inadequacies of my previous representation(s) and constant erroneous behavior from opposing party's misuse of the family court system, throughout about a decade of constant litigation. Dennis not only heard me out, but faithfully was there when others deserted their duties, due to the monstrosity of the case. I felt like Dennis has done more for my case in such a short term span, than has ever been done in the extensive, injustices of the case period. My children’s well-being and stability was everything to me, and when I hired Dennis, I instantly felt and knew he understood that. Dennis is extremely knowledgeable on the law and very strategic with his cases. The more and more trust I put into him and his firm throughout my case, I was amazed at the results. He and his staff truly care about their clients and fight for what is important to them. Each and every day he is a living example of what all attorneys should be and helped instilled hope within my disparaging situation. I am glad and blessed to have finally found such an amazing attorney. My children and I are eternally grateful for his service and I strongly recommend Dennis Schroader.

Posted by AE | June 27, 2017 | Hired Attorney | Expungement

Dennis is knowledgeable, trustworthy and gets the job done.

Dennis is beyond amazing, he handled my legal issues with complete trust, confidence and knowledge. He is professional, and knowledgeable about the law. I originally met with him to get my record expunged. After my consultation, we came to the conclusion that i did not need to get my record ...expunged, to obtain my real estate license. Which is a huge deal, most attorneys would have charged me a ton of money to do something unnecessary. He definitely has his clients best interest before his own. Dennis helped me restore my gun-rights, which i never thought was possible. He is non judgmental very professional and thank's to Dennis my past does not define me anymore. I highly recommend Dennis if you want a trustworthy attorney who works hard for his clients. Thank you Dennis

Best Attorney...EVER

Dennis is an AMAZING attorney. I was very worried, scared, unable to sleep or eat. He made me feel very at ease and extremely comfortable. After our first meeting I was actually able to sleep through the night. Dennis is extremely smart, professional and communicative. He has an engaging and contagio...us sense of humor...and I certainly needed to smile again. Excellent service from start to finish. Very knowledgable and very kind. Always kept me updated with progress of the case. I have referred two of my friends to him and they are VERY happy with his service as well! 5 stars to Mr Schroader! Even though he is a solid 10 in my book!
