Really didn't want to write this because it makes me mad to think of how badly Carl took advantage…read moreof me. Look at Ashley's review here. I had a similar experience. Carl is so unorganized it is pathetic. I made the mistake of not going into his office and paying the retainer after our phone conversation. Just visit his office. There is more alcohol on the wall behind his desk chair than I have consumed in my life. He has a huge dog in the office because he is probably scared of someone coming after him after he steals their money. Look out for the kitty litter box in his bathroom. For $3,500 he filed 2 forms. You have been warned. If you still hire this guy after reading this and the other bad reviews, you only have yourself to blame. I think there are a few phony good reviews for him on here. The night before our court date I decided to call to ask about where good parking was for the hearing. Then he tells me he is so glad I called. He told I was suppose to come to his office and we are going to do a video conference for the hearing. If I didn't call about parking I would have been in court by myself. My ex-wife's lawyers were present in court, they made the effort. Carl did not dispute anything that my children's mom's lawyers stated. Carl had a conversation with the opposing counsel without me and they went to school together, so I am imagining he might have done them a favor and threw me under the bus. He did in court try to make my children's mom look bad by making something up, or perhaps he remembered it wrong, either way it was not right. Just a nightmare having this guy represent me. I went back to court for a child support readjustment and did twice as good as he did with the outcome. Using the Law Facilitators at the court house was way better then hiring this guy.

I highly recommend Eric Schneider, he is smart, knowledgable, thorough and attentive throughout the process. Having a lawyer who pays close attention to detail can make a significant difference.

He continues to be a great resource when I have questions and responds quickly. I would highly recommend Eric Scnheider. I am beyond pleased with my experience.

I first met with Eric through a free consultation, and felt that he was very thorough, knowledgeable, and no BS. I still wanted to have more options and called different law offices. I was very hesitant as I have never worked with an attorney before and heard many horror stories of law offices being in it for the money. I did not get that feeling with Eric. What I felt was that every penny spend was worth it. Eric and his team helped me get through one of the most difficult parts of my life. Everything from the communications to the billing has been nothing but thorough and professional. My only concern is that, should I ever need to work with another attorney on a completely unrelated matter, my expectations may now be impossibly high.

Finding a lawyer or a company to handle legal issues don't sound like "fun things" for anyone to do…read more(usually lawyers handle business that can be stressful issues!) I inquired with various firms and 1 lawyer (from another firm) reached out, left a voice mail but didn't return my call when I left a voice mail; another spent time on the phone with me but didn't email me the materials he said he would, but Norell Manning spent time on the phone with me helping me with the details regarding my mom's trust, scheduled a meeting, and has been every bit of available and helpful you would hope for! She uses terms that non-lawyers (regular folks and even my mom whose first language is not English) can understand, and my favorite part about interacting with her is that she doesn't make me feel stupid for asking questions.. even if they're crazy or ridiculous questions. For example, I asked something and she answered without judgment, "I personally haven't seen that but I can ask my colleagues." But there was not an inkling of judgment in her tone or making me feel dumb for not knowing. Norma, the paralegal and notary, was so helpful and kind when we went in person to sign, as well. I love that despite operating in a pretty, clean office, that the attorneys and staff are very accessible, not pretentious or hoity-toity. They know their stuff but aren't going to make you feel like you need to be a big fancy multi-million dollar corporation to get legal services. I recommend Norell and Prager Jones to anyone and everyone, but especially those who have less experience with estate planning. She will walk you through each step of the way!
