Avoid at all costs unless you want to lose everything. This attorney has questionable ethics, and her priority is finding opportunities to produce more bills. Michelle has a very strong over powering personality and at times I felt as though I was being bullied into decisions which suited her pocket. No compassion or true concern for her client. Avoid!

I was optimistic because I was referred to Michelle and because of the positive reviews. I was excited to work with an all-female team. However, throughout the process, there was constant anxiety from lack of communication and yet I was charged for whatever communication was happening between attorneys that I was not privy to. It was clear that my ex’s attorney was keeping him looped in. I’d send emails with questions and not hear back. I’d upload documentation for disclosure early but was then told I did it incorrectly close to the actual deadline. Michelle was empowering in my initial consultation. Once I hired her and finally would get to talk to Michelle, she said things like, “I have multiple cases right now that are like emergency surgeries, and yours is not an emergency. I’ve worked with women who are older than you, have been married longer, and have children. At least you didn’t have a kid… But if you want one, you don’t need a man to do that. You’re still young.” Statements like these were dismissive and invalidating. Divorce is painful enough. Elena, the senior paralegal, was the most communicative, and I appreciate her for that.

I reached out to C.E. Schmidt for a custody arrangement as Eric had helped me with my divorce. I was referred to Michelle and was immediately impressed with her knowledge and compassion toward my situation. I was informed up front of all charges and outcomes. Michelle and her staff were extremely communicative and understanding as my situation was emotionally charged. I was prepared throughout every step of the process and Michelle explained every option in great detail. I would recommend C.E. Schmidt and associates to anyone who is dealing with the complexities of divorce and or custody agreements.

So grateful for the patience and guidance that C.E. Schmidt & Associates provided me as I was going through my divorce 3 years ago. Although it is amicable, emotions often run high regardless. Eric gave great counsel, and the entire staff were quick with response. Recently, needed guidance with modification orders. Michelle gave knowledgeable advice with step-by-step help. They work hard to represent you, the client, to meet the needs that you have. I highly recommend this Law firm to those in need of representation.
