I helped my sister in law with her divorce and unfortunately we found a very bad attorney at first. One of our friends referred us to Mr. Schmillen and that was the best decision we made. He took care of her case in a very diligent and professional manner.

I came to Schmillen Law Firm looking for legal advice and a lawyer to help me get through a very complicated situation. When I met with Jim Schmillen for a consultation, he truly listened to what I was looking for in a lawyer. He didn’t tell me what I wanted to hear on that first visit. But, he told me what I NEEDED to hear from a professional and legal perspective. He was very honest and upfront in his assessment and opinion of my situation. I felt I was getting a very clear vision of what direction he would go in if I hired him to represent me. He exceeded my expectations in every aspect of our legal journey together. He was confident, experienced, assertive, smart, and accessible. He has an amazing team and they work so fluidly together. I always felt like I was their priority client and they made sure I was informed of every decision that was made. He is dependable, trustworthy, hardworking, and loyal to his clients. Schmillen Law Firm is definitely a solid choice.

Jim was referred to me during my divorce process and I am so thankful he was. During this stressful and turbulent time Jim remained level headed and always advised me on what steps I should take. He helped me feel at ease and consistently had my best interests in mind. What I appreciated most was his goal of getting through the process with minimal costs and disruption to my day to day life. Thank you Jim

James is an exceptional attorney. His attention to detail, with focus and accuracy were outstanding...at a time for me when every number counted. He is honest about his expectations of the outcome of the case, and his integrity and speed of resolution made his office so reassuring to work with. I will continue to refer him with confidence.

If you actually care about your childrens happiness, get a consultation with james schmillen then deny his services. Because of his strategies, which included falsifying a completely bogus issue, my child now suffrrs from not only severe anxiety and depression, but ongoing mental torture from her mother because she wouldnt go along with their plan. She was pretty balanced until they unethically and inappropriately made heinous untrue accusations out of a quest for revenge. Even if he charges you a few hundred dollars for the consultation, you will save thousands in litigation and psychiatric care for your children

Mr Schmillen was difficult to communicate with, always in court and I felt he drug the process out longer than necessary. Half way through my divorce I should have changed attorneys but felt stuck. The process cost me thousands upon thousands more than i think it would have with other representation. Don’t risk it, find someone really looking out for your best interests!
