What Our Clients Say
One of the finest lawyers I have ever dealt with. Scott and his firm handled a very complex and contentious legal matter (divorce, custody, and child support). His rates were very reasonable. He was very careful with how much he was billing me on the case. He was methodical and meticulous in his handling of the deposition, mediation, and trial. He explained the law to me in a way I was able to understand. He was well-prepared and knowledgeable about my case. And, he achieved excellent results for me. I could not have been more pleased and impressed with the great legal service Scott and his group provided. Thanks. - Lance W.
The law firm worked very diligently with me on my case through the process. The firm spent countless hours, days, and months on all aspects of my case. Divorce isn't an easy thing to go through but the team gave me the facts and truth throughout it all. There is a lot more I could say but my rating and recommendation would be to this law firm 10 out of 10. - Casey S.
I only have great things to say about Scott and the Schlegel Law Group!! He represented me for my long-distance custody battle and although I was almost 2,000miles away their support was always a reassuring call text or email away. Their office clerk was always available patient and helpful! William Cintron was employed there during my case and we had just the absolute sweetest! Scott is both determined and realistic. I love that he never sugar-coated anything. He fully took into consideration the result I desired and the parts where I was overreaching he kindly explained to me the legal reality of what I was asking. His legal knowledge knows no bounds and for anything he wasn’t 100% sure about he immediately researched and only provided information he knew to be factual. I trusted him blindly and fully and I will never regret it. - Jasmine C.
There are not enough positive things to say about Scott Schlegel. I received my divorce papers right around Christmas time which as you can imagine how tough this might be especially when my now ex-wife was in Chicago with my two children at the time my 5-year-old son and 8-month-old daughter who was continuously telling me she was returning and never did. Scott and his team worked very hard for me, filing injections so that we could do everything we could for me to get my children back home. Long story short this process went on for about 3 and half years due to her refusing to return to Florida and remaining in Chicago. In the end, I was able to get as much time as I possibly could with my children remaining in Chicago for the school year. I have every Spring Break and every Summer (the entire time) I then alternate all other major holidays. I have other friends that are divorced that are living in the same state that do not get as much time sharing as I do. I am very thankful for what Scott and his team were able to do for me and all of the time he was able to get for me. Do not hesitate to let Scott and his team take care of you, you will not regret it. - Michael U.
Today has been a phenomenal day because it concludes what has been a 2-year process for time-sharing with my daughter. The opposing party in case wanted to give me as minimal time as possible and penalize me by over-inflating my income numbers. Scott and his team were able to successfully help me get almost 50/50 time sharing with my daughter and was able to properly demonstrate my numbers which resulted in a fair amount due for child support and almost equal time sharing. To be honest, from the beginning, I was very nervous throughout the entire process, but my best advice after completing this is to just simply trust Scott and his team! He has a very methodical process and does everything he does for an exact reason. A valuable piece of information I can give to prospective clients is to know exactly what you want as a resolution and communicate that to Scott clearly. Everything else he does after that is to help best articulate your story, desires, and facts. In conclusion, it worked out better than I imagined. Both parties in my case equally support the child and I am much happier that I get the time that I have been pursuing. - Bryan D.
I am now a single father. I was in need of legal representation for my divorce case. My ex-wife had representation for months before I found Scott. I hired Scott after months of researching divorce lawyers. Scott was extremely empathetic and made me feel at ease in our first consultation. A few months later we went to mediation. Scott represented me with a professional, powerful, yet humble approach. Although the divorce did not end after mediation, Scott kept me confident, educated, informed, and at ease throughout the uncertain times of the divorce process. I have sent a few of my personal friends since my divorce ended and will continue to recommend Mr. Schlegel for aggressive representation in any legal case. - Ricky S.
