Mr. Fessler was recommended by a family friend when my brother unexpectedly passed away without a Will. He and his staff made an incredibly difficult and overwhelming time for me as easy as humanly possible. Every question & concern was promptly answered in easy to understand language with respect and kindness. I believe their fee was more than fair given the circumstances I faced. Moving forward, Mr. Fessler will be my "go to" attorney should the need arise.

Our family had to deal with a sudden, unexpected loss of a loved one, and were just as suddenly faced with dealing with managing her estate. Dave not only led us through every inch of the paperwork and planning required, he provided helpful advice in areas we knew little about, and did so in a very caring, respectful way to the entire family. At the outset, I was concerned, having never dealt with managing an estate, but the entire process couldn't have been easier thanks to Dave. Any questions (and there were plenty), and he was always available, responded quickly, and walked us through every step of the process. Nobody wants to go through something like dealing with a family death, but it was nice to know we had Dave by our side to help get through it.

As Coffman’s Realty was representing an out of state owner on the sale of Real Estate, the title company brought to our attention the papers that were filed on behalf of the seller in their state were not valid in the state of Kentucky. They were unable to appear in court in Kentucky. I called the law firm of Fessler, Schneider & Grimme to ask what the options were. David Fessler returned the call the same day and suggested an ancillary administrator. He explained the process and quoted a price. I explained what need to be done and the seller appointed me the ancillary administrator. His explanation was exactly correct and his bill was as quoted, no surprises.
David Fessler gave me a list of what was needed. Once I supplied the information, he took over and kept us informed during the process. David Fessler saw every detail through to the end. He handled this with utmost professionalism and in a timely manner so we could transfer the property. The details after closing were handled in the same professional manner.
The law firm of Fessler, Schneider & Grimme is my go to firm when the closing attorney or title company cannot do what needs to be done because of a conflict of interest. I would highly recommend Fessler, Schneider & Grimme for any legal Real Estate needs.
Great job, David Fessler.

Gabriel is someone you can relate with, someone who understands the complex nature of today’s legal problems. Everyone should have legal counsel and guidance available from someone they trust. I’d recommended giving Gabe a call before your next big decision or problem occurs… whether it be auto or work injuries, a medical malpractice issue or even a real estate transaction; give him a call. A real person, who will take the time to listen… that’s why he’s been my go to for 10 years and counting.

We needed to consolidate our debt and I was looking at some options. But first we had 3,000 to 4,000 to throw at it to get some of the utilizations down to possibly get a better rate. One is an instalment loan from last summer when our HVAC failed. The payments are ridiculously almost all going to interest and we are still above 90% utilization several months later. Our FICO score taken a hug drop since we took our last summer, we couldn’t apply for anything again in the country. But all thanks to PINNACLE CREDIT SPECIALIST who came through for me. They helped me raised my credit score to (807 TransUnion, 802 Experian 805 Equifax) they also cleared all my debt and reduced my utilization. They’re the people’s Angel helping people from financial stress. You can contact them via

I was referred to Mr. Schneider by a family friend. Mr. Schneider has dealt with many cases throughout his career that were very similar to mine. With utmost confidence he told me he was able to help. Even with Covid 19 amongst us, the firm was professional, easy to reach, and a pleasure to work with. Through every step of the process I felt informed and secure with all that was happening and in the end my charges were dropped down. Mr. Schneider is a very personable and knowledgeable attorney that I would recommend to anyone!

I hired this firm about 7 years ago after being charged with Wanton Endangerment for having an altercation with neighbors who were living in an apartment above mine. They were partying very loudly all night one weekend and I asked them several times to quiet down. Finally at around 0330 I got fed up so I wrote in mustard on their porch, "Shut Up," then went to the ground level on the grass and yelled up at their apartment to shut up, they then came outside onto their porch yelling down at me to go F myself at which point they saw the mustard message on their porch. They then came running down the stairs yelling that they were going to kill me so I ran into my apartment as they were hot on my tail. I didn't have time to shut the door behind me as they were coming at me fast so I ran into my apartment and grabbed my pistol from my kitchen and told them to get out of my apartment. A little struggle ensued as I had one by the throat and was pushing him out and his friends saw that I had the gun so they were helping to pull him back out of my apartment. After I got them out my roommate called the police.
When the police showed up apparently one of the officers knew one of the rednecks upstairs and took their side of the story, saying that I came outside with a gun pointing a pistol at them and threatening to shoot them. Complete BS.
(The smart thing to have done would have been to call the police to begin with. I understand that I was foolish that evening.)
Schneider suggested that we just plea to a lesser charge, a disorderly conduct charge, and not go to trial. Herein lies the problem with our legal system I suppose. This charge has caused me many thousands of dollars in immigration lawyers, not to mention all of the time I have wasted with not being able to work in the new country that I live because of immigration issues related to this 'case.' I suppose it was evident to Tim that I did not have the money to go to trial at the time, or maybe he is just used to the systems' 'routine' procedures, so I agreed to just accept the disorderly conduct charge.
All of that aside, when it came time for me to be eligible to expunge my charge, Tim would not respond back to me either via email or phone. I left a message with his assistant and sent many emails.
I'm not sure why he did not respond to my emails or phone call so that I could get the charge expunged. I'm not sure what benefit there could possibly be for an attorney to not have one of their client's charges expunged, so I don't think it was malicious, but it was aggravating and an email from him stating, "I'm too busy to take your case," would have been better than nothing.
So I'm giving 2 stars instead of 1 because at first he at least did communicate with me in a professional manner, even though his advice caused horrible consequences. I believe that the advice and course of action that we took created many problems for me and cost my family an additional $10,000 not to mention the time and opportunity cost of not being able to work in another country for years. Then not responding to me when it was time for expungement was really unprofessional.
I hired another attorney in Campbell County and got the charge expunged relatively pain free.

I contacted Joe based on a recommendation. I expected him to be professional and to take my case seriously, Instead, he continued to ignore almost all of my phone calls (I called at least 10 times with no response) and emails. It took weeks for him to respond and often only after I had called or emailed many times. Even after paying court fees, he completely ignored my case. When I messaged him and told him this case was important to me and I expected the work to be done in a timely fashion, he turned around and told me that he could no longer do the work. He is clearly too busy to take on new clients and strung me along for months. The whole situation was completely unprofessional and I would not recommend his services.
