Hired Attorney Jeffrey Schmieler

Jeff Schmieler is an exceptional lawyer, I would rate him higher than 5 stars, if I could. Jeff and his team have been extremely hard working, dedicated to our needs, and exceptional in communications through the several legal matters that they have handled for us including real estate contract review and consultation. Jeff is knowledgeable and very thorough making sure that all possible relevant documents are analyzed. In other words, he does his homework exceptionally well to make sure that there are no stones left unturned when it comes to gathering supporting material for our current case. I highly recommend Jeff and his team, and will retain him if needing council or legal advise again in the future.

Hired Attorney Jeffrey Schmieler

Mr. Schmieler carefully listened to the facts during our consultation and agreed to take my case. As the case progressed, Mr. Schmieler remained steadfastly focused on the evidence and how it intersected with the law. He not only reviewed documents I provided, but also conducted his own research into previous cases regarding the situation and formulated a comprehensive perspective based on the other party’s history. His persistent and careful consideration of the entire situation reassured me that our case was solid. Although we haven’t yet finished at this point, he managed my expectations to the length of time it would take to resolve. His approach to information gathering and client relations speak to his experience. I am also impressed by his team, all of which are knowledgeable, friendly, responsive, and professional. I intend to retain him for all future issues.

My wife and I are grateful for your work and we will never forget it. Your team delivered results in what seemed to be a hopeless situation. You all are the best. After hundreds of hours of fighting, we are finally going to fix our house. Couldn't have done it without you. The bottom line is, we needed you and your team to get this done.

Excellent , Fantastic job, i would have not been able to repair my house I had a toilet over flow from my guest toilet on second floor of my home to the basement damaging both the leaving room and the basement. My home insurance company Liberty Mutual, refused to pay for repairs and at the same time cancelled my insurance. I contacted A Public Adjuster , who later referred me to Layer Jeffrey R Schmieler, LLC who accepted my case and worked very hard to achieve a big win with liberty mutual. I am very pleased and happy with the results and look forward to working with them and also making referrals to friends and family. without his efforts .

I requested the assistance of Jeffrey Schmieler in connection with concerns I had with forming a corporation. He was extremely helpful with my initial questions and thereafter establishing my corporation. I have since used his services for additional commercial legalities.

Hired Attorney Jeffrey Schmieler

After the death of both my parents, I contacted Jeffrey R. Schmieler who assisted initially with the Estate of my father and subsequently three years later the Estate of my mother. He made what would have been a very difficult situation into an extremely simple one handling all matters related to the opening of the Estates, dealing with the Court, all open debts and eventually the final distribution and closing of the Estates. I would highly recommend Mr. Schmieler.

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.
