OUTSTANDING!!! Charles Schneider is a true lifesaver. I came under hostile attack by someone attempting to harm my medical practice. Mr. Schneider’s proficient understanding of the law & legal system make him an incredible tactician. He successfully guided my business through an incredible legal storm and is nothing less than outstanding. And if that wasn’t enough, the interactions with the professionals running the office were fantastic. I thank them for their efficient and kind attention. Many people only like to complain… I want to compliment; Charles Schneider is the best!

During a very difficult time in my life, Mr. Schneider, Mr. Chambers and the rest of the team helped me to complete a chapter 13 bankruptcy. There were complicated and time sensitive aspects to the case, and he and his office were such life savers with how responsive they were. Thanks so much!

I had tried to get A Bankruptcy done with another attorney, but that attorney told me after A few visits that there was no way to do it and still took my money. Very frustrated and determined I was going to do this I got on the web and found Charlie's site. I immediately called and set up an appointment and let me tell you, this man is the real deal and will get the job done and done well. I had various properties and when all was said and done I kept everything. Except the debt. Awesome Man!!

I walked away from a mortgage in 2010 after trying to negotiate a short sale. The bank was impossible to deal with and I was fed up. The bank then repossessed and sold the property, but also sold my outstanding HELOC to a collections company. This collections company continued to call me for years in pursuit of the deficiency, which was over $60,000. Mr. Schneider successfully negotiated this deficiency for 10% face value and I was able to pay without filing for bankruptcy.

It is solely the responsibility of lawyers and law firms to ensure that any information they provide complies with all applicable laws and rules of professional conduct.

Lawyers.com Client Reviews

Martindale-Hubbell® Client Review Ratings™ display reviews submitted by individuals who have either hired or consulted the lawyers or law firms.

The Client Review Rating score is determined through the aggregation of validated responses. People who submit reviews are either individuals who consulted with the lawyer/law firm or who hired the lawyer/law firm and want to share their experience of that lawyer or law firm with other potential clients. Reviewers can be anyone who consults or hires a lawyer including in-house counsel, corporate executives, small business owners, and private individuals.

Martindale-Hubbell validates that a reviewer is a person with a valid email address. As part of the review process, respondents must affirm that they have had an initial consultation, are currently a client or have been a client of the lawyer or law firm identified, although Martindale-Hubbell cannot confirm the lawyer/client relationship as it is often confidential. The content of the responses is entirely from reviewers.

Prior results do not guarantee a similar outcome and Martindale-Hubbell accepts no responsibility for the content or accuracy of any review. For more information on Martindale-Hubbell Client Review Ratings, please visit our Client Review Page

Martindale Peer Reviews

Martindale-Hubbell® Peer Review Ratings™ are the gold standard in attorney ratings, and have been for more than a century. These ratings indicate attorneys who are widely respected by their peers for their ethical standards and legal expertise in a specific area of practice.

The Martindale-Hubbell Peer Review Ratings process is the gold standard due to its objectivity and comprehensiveness. Lawyers solicited for peer reviews include both those selected by the attorney being reviewed and lawyers independently selected by Martindale-Hubbell. All reviewers are verified as attorneys through Martindale-Hubbell’s extensive attorney database. Only attorneys practicing at least three years and receiving a sufficient number of reviews from non-affiliated attorneys are eligible to receive a Rating.

What are the different Martindale-Hubbell Peer Review Ratings?*

• AV Preeminent®: The highest peer rating standard. This rating signifies that a large number of the lawyer’s peers rank him or her at the highest level of professional excellence for their legal knowledge, communication skills and ethical standards.

• Distinguished: An excellent rating for a lawyer with some experience. This rating indicates the attorney is widely respected by their peers for high professional achievement and ethical standards.

• Notable: This rating indicates that the lawyer has been recognized by a large number of their peers for strong ethical standards.

Lawyers who have received peer reviews after 2009 will display more detailed information, including practice areas, summary ratings, detailed numeric ratings and written feedback (if available). Details for individual reviews received before 2009 are not displayed.

Attorneys that receive reviews from their peers, but not a sufficient number to establish a Martindale-Hubbell Peer Review Rating, will have those reviews display on our websites.

For more information on Martindale-Hubbell Peer Review Ratings™, please visit our Ratings Page on Martindale.com and our Frequently Asked Questions

Avvo Client Reviews

Ratings and reviews are feedback from people who have either consulted an attorney about an issue (but may not have hired the attorney) or people who hired an attorney as a current or former client and provided their feedback to our sister site, Avvo.com.
