I will like to thank Ms Ryan Schultz for handling my case of temporary custody in a professional, efficient, responsible, and effective matter. Thanks to Ryan we won the temporary custody of my daughters. Also I'll like to thank Mr David Joyner for handling the second part of my case and bring me a victory on the permanent custody of my daughters. I live in Florida the comunication was excellent. I recommend The Lea Schultz Firm 100%.

There can never be enough words of gratitude I have for Jim Lea and his staff. The divorce process was a long journey and something I would never want to do again, but I am very thankful Jim was by my side. He listened diligently and acknowledged my fears, anger, and sadness with such kindness, understanding and support that truly kept me from breaking into pieces. His confidence made me feel safe. Jim is professional, talented, and knowledgeable and by far a wonderful attorney. His actions in the courtroom were nothing but stellar. Jim and his staff were exceptional at promptly answering any of my questions, phone calls, emails or texts and believe me there were millions of them. This process was extremely overwhelming but the entire staff took me under their wings and guided me through the darkness. I am forever grateful!

Mr. Schultz is a great attorney. I believe he is the best family law attorney in this region. He was great to work with and returned phone calls quickly.

I've been in the family court grinder for 14 years. It's been an absolutely miserable experience for me and my sons. Ryan was a breath of fresh air at the end and helped me navigate the final stages flawlessly. I only wish he would have been practicing law when I started this process. Ryan is sharp and knows how the backrooms work. I highly recommend Ryan to any parent caught in the exhausting grip of the family court process.

I have found Mr Lea and his staff to be very professional, knowledgeable and responsive to my many questions and concerns. Divorce in difficult and it is extremely important that you have confidence in the person who is guiding you through this process. I would highly recommend Mr Lea to anyone who finds themselves in a situation where they need a highly competent and experienced lawyer to represent them.

The attorneys and paralegals at the Lea/ Schultz Law Firm have gone above and beyond my expectations during my long and convoluted legal case with my ex. They are knowledgeable, professional and Jim has a calming demeanor that helps me relax and trust in the legal process as it unfolds. I hope no one has as complicated a legal case as I have endured, but if they do, they can rest it in no better hands than the professionals in the Lea/ Schultz Law Firm.

This law firm promised a “guaranteed” win for my son with his daughter's custody. He was over charged especially for what little the attorney performed. My was given very little advice and most of the legal agreement was done by my daughter in law. I have previously written a review of this company and they didn’t post it.
