Leave a review about your experience with this lawyer.Great professional in his field, very knowledgeable. Seth took his time explaining all the documents to me and went into every detail need to be discussed. He quickly responded to my emails, text and phone calls. I highly recommend Seth.
I had a great experience with Seth Schraier he was very helpful and very affordable and he went out his way a lot did what he said he would . Definitely is my lawyer for any matter ...
I had Seth work on a case for me last year. I have to say he is one the most knowledgeable and efficient Attorneys I have ever worked with.
Seth Schraier is one of the most professional, personable, diligent, sincere, and friendly lawyers in the world. He will fight hard for you. He is one of the few lawyers left in this world with high moral character. When it comes to lawyers, you won't find one better than Mr. Schraier. Seth fought hard to defend me in a dispute with my landlord. His encouragement, guidance, and diligence was exactly what I needed to put my mind at ease. In the end, the dispute was resolved.
I would characterize Seth as someone who is efficient, courteous and definitely formidable in his craft. He approached my successful divorce with speed, alacrity and surprising candor. I recommend him highly.
When I needed a lawyer for Child Support and Custody I contacted several people and no one dedicated as much time as Mr. Seth Schraier did to convince me to take them in as my lawyer. He took his time giving me the answers I was looking for and when it came time to go to court, he handled everything for me. If I had a question at any time, I was able to contact him and get the answer I needed. He is very reliable. I am a happy client.
Mr. Schraier provided excellent legal guidance in my divorce, at a price I could afford. Will definitely hire him again if I ever need it.
3+ years later: Worse custody agreement than original. Skipped out on support agr. he was paid for. SUMMARY: Custody agr.: Visitation violation, etc. so needed new one. Support agr.: Lower support due to income. Violations by Ex. I was given bad advice to unilaterally lower support. FACTS: 1 - ABANDONED CASE Ignored 20+ emails to get support agr. Lied - it is coming “next week or Monday". Then he vanished! He had agr. or lied that he did. 2 - CONFLICT W/ OTHER LAWYER Had cases w/ her. Said "There was no conflict". Seems can be bad for client. 3 - DISHONEST FEES Bid low. So, he cut corners. 4 –UNPROFESSIONAL, SLOW Other lawyer sent him a note requesting promised work after he didn't respond! 5 – TERRIBLE CUSTODY AGR. THAT HE PRESSURED ME TO TAKE A WORSE agr. w/ less enforcement led to more violations. The OTHER lawyer drafted a bad agr. he negotiated from! Did not propose change unless told to! Did not fix child alienation issue. Said it is past, uncorrectable issue.
Avoid at all costs. Dishonest, Incompetent and Unprofessional. 1 - Abandoned a paid contract. 2 - Lied continuously when asked when settlement would be done. 3 - Bid low to get business - then abandons because he won't do work. 4 - Waited to last minute - often late. 5 - Unprepared. 6 - Opposing attorney had to remind him of work he had to do. 7 - Pressured me into a terrible custody agreement that OPPOSING LAWYER WROTE! He didn't oppose! 8 - Result is a custody agreement that costs to this day - over 10 years later and materially hurt my child and myself. Final Thought: Schraier's negligence, dishonesty, and failure to advocate properly have had lasting consequences. His repeated lies about pending work and disregard for ethical legal practices have led to years of unneccesary heartache. Check him out. Get 3 references. Check all data. Check clients that have negative reviews. Be careful!!!!!
