Schmidt Family Law & Mediation

I have worked with Christine in a professional capacity on a dozen cases over the past five years. She is a consummate professional. She has a great understanding of the law and provides top-class service to her clients. She has a reasonable billable rate and is connected throughout the family law community. I have personally seen Christine counsel clients through challenging family law disputes. She handles child custody, parenting plans, child support, spousal maintenance, and property division matters. She has experience collaborating on behalf of her clients to reach peaceful, non-adversarial resolutions. She can also advocate on behalf of her clients in court-based cases. She is a great communicator and has extensive experience in these matters. Christine was first trained as a social worker. Her experience in this field helps her empathize with her clients and deal with the stress and strain that often comes along with family law disputes. I have recommended Christine to clients and friends and consistently hear they are happy with her services.

Christine represented me through my divorce process. I interviewed six attorneys and she was an excellent match with her mix of empathy, knowledge and friendly, yet professional persona. Working with her was smooth and we were able to arrive at a settlement between my ex-wife and I in an efficient, but thorough manner. As ultimate testimony, the "new normal" of post-divorce was achieved quickly and is due in large part to Christine's diligent effort to leave no loose ends in the settlement. I would choose her again in a heartbeat.

Christine Schmidt helped me to work through a divorce that did not become traumatic. I was left well provided for through the remainder of my life, and Christine and I were able to achieve this without a contentious battle. As a result, my x-husband and I are still a family of sorts for our children who came through the divorce process healthy and happy. I can not thank her enough for her consistent and sensitive guidance that left me secure, happy, and still very good friends with my x-husband.

I was part of a support team for a friend going through a very contentious and prolonged child custody battle. Christine represented her through the majority of the multi-year ordeal, so I observed her in countless meetings and hearings. I was constantly awed by Christine's ability to show compassion, stay focused on the task at hand, and explain the ramifications of the court proceeding. She was consummately professional and creative, a seemingly tireless advocate for my friend's wishes. I wouldn't hesitate to recommend her to anyone needing family law services.

Schmidt Family Law guided me through my divorce. When my now ex-wife left the state with my child, Christine acted efficiently and aggressively to make sure my rights to a relationship with my son were protected. Christine was there every step of the way making sure I understood the process, what to expect, and what our best...and worst outcomes might be. After the dust settled, my son lives with me full time with my ex-wife out of state. These results simply were not possible without Schmidt Family Law.
