At the Law Offices of John Schmidt & Associates, one of our main concerns is making sure you feel cared for. We do this by giving personal attention to every single case. This is about more than winning. For us, it’s about taking care of your inner person. From our staff to our attorneys, we desire to help you work through your situation in a healthy, constructive manner.
TOGETHER, WE SUCCEED
When you’re facing bankruptcy, a criminal charge, a divorce, or a child custody dispute, your attorney needs to do more than represent you. We understand just how serious this matter is to you, and we take a collaborative approach to help you succeed.
WHAT YOU CAN EXPECT
The best way to understand our process is to listen to what our clients have to say. They tell us that we give them confidence and help them feel secure. We’ve even had clients stop by our office from out of town to introduce us to their family members!

TESTIMONIALS
I highly recommend John! I have worked in the legal field for 3 years and when I needed someone to handle my own family court case, he was my first call. Very impressed and very satisfied!
The voice of reason! I am so thankful we found John. He is kind, compassionate and down to earth. He loves children, and it shows. I’ve never met an attorney like him. He’s my go-to-guy for all future legal matters!
It doesn't get much better than John. Obstinant is really not the word when you are right. Not only in family court, but an accompanying "messy" criminal domestic case, too. Thank you, Mr. Schmidt. That tree chopping Tesla is something you deserve!
John was amazing and continues to do great work every time I speak to him. He was available to me daytime, nighttime and weekends to help me with my case. He helped me out tremendously and treated me very well! Thank you John!
5 stars for sure. Very intelligent trustworthy and honest guy. Very easy to work with and listens to everything and gives you honest and truthful feedback. Can't wait to continue to work with him!
