Counselor Hires accomplished several things via her representative efforts on my behalf. (1) She actually PRODUCED the needed, desired, but optimistic projections she suggested she could generate for me, (2) was a kind, professional, understanding legal sweetheart/friend/advocate while doing so, (3) and proved to me (via several court appearances) that her courtroom knowledge, associations, and 2 way court personnel respect was also, via Counselor Hires, in good hands. Amanda Hires is the BEST!

Chris assisted me with effectively disputing an item on my credit report. His kind and caring staff made the process painless. I would definitely recommend Chris and his firm to anyone in need of anykind of legal assistance.

During a financially stressful period in my life, Mr Schmidgall treated me with the utmost care and professionalism. This office was attentive to all my needs. Staff were sympathetic and cordial. I never felt a moment of helplessness in their hands. This was 10 years ago. Since then I regained financial stability and did receive a fresh start. I'm happily settled in my new home now.

During the case he always kept you updated, but as another person said once it gets a little hard then he does not know what to do. He gave me some bad information about a service I had just paid for my daughter. When we went through court, they made her doctor pay that money to the court then I had to pay the doctor again. He was busy laughing it up with the Trustee instead of making sure my case was done correctly.
