Richard is a calm, cool, and thoughtful attorney. He not only handled the matter effectively but he kept me grounded through the ups and downs. He knows his stuff, anticipated “next steps”, and guided me through the process.

I was in the middle of a terrible litigation storm with my sons father and it seemed like it would never end. We had been going back and forth to court for well over a year and I could not see the light at the end of the tunnel. I had been through over 4 attorneys...yes, I said 4!!! In February of 2018 a family friend suggested I meet with Mr.Schrade to see what options there were for me to move forward and possibly even wrap up the litigation altogether. I was nervous and I assumed Mr. Schrade would be like all the others but boy was I wrong. For started Mr. Schrade is an extremely kind and respectful person. Every attorney I had prior was somewhat rude or too aggressive towards me when I asked questions or for undertaking. Mr.Schrade was the total opposite... it makes a huge difference when someone treats you like a person instead of job or simply another case number. Mr. Schrade was able to close a case that had been lingering for over two years in just 2 short months! It is the best feeling in the world knowing that someone can no longer hold the threat of taking custody over your head. Mr. Schrade was an angel towards me but a fighter in the courtroom. After spending over $8,000 on different attorneys and feeling like I was wasting time and money, I now know who to choose if I ever find myself in a familiar situation.

This is the second time I’ve used Mr. Schrade’s services. The first was for a civil matter, which he negotiated expertly to my benefit, and more recently for a minor criminal matter. From our first meeting until the disposition of my case, Mr. Schrade demonstrated complete professionalism and a thorough determination to have my case either dismissed or to proceed with as little damage to me as possible. He knows the legal system expertly, and worked diligently to strategize, present a strong defense, and negotiate a fair penalty. Mr. Schrade made to feel confident but realistic about potential outcomes and always answered my questions and addressed my concerns promptly. Simply put, Mr. Schrade showed a commitment to my case that I likely would not have received from most attorneys, and as a result, I received what I believe is the best possible outcomes in both instances. Mr. Schrade is incredibly talented and effective and I highly recommend him to anyone in need of an attorney.

I have retained Richard Schrade's Services on several occasions over the past 20 years with satisfying results each time. His answers to my questions are always clear, complete, and demonstrate a sophisticated knowledge of the case and the intricacies involved. His return phone calls are always prompt and his appointments were always on time. I always felt assured and confident that I was being taken care of by the best and I highly recommend his services. If you are looking for an Attorney that truly cares look no further than Richard Schrade!

Mr. Schrade represented me in a very serious matter. Words cannot adequately express how grateful I am to him and his assistants. He is an excellent attorney and is extremely thorough with your case. He and anyone in his office will treat you with professionalism and compassion. Your calls will be returned and he earns every dollar you pay him and then some. Unfortunately, the judicial system does not always function as it should and an attorney is essential. If you want someone that will represent you and do his due diligence for your best interest, then Mr. Schrade is who you need to hire. He has a stellar reputation in the community and in his profession. There were many times that I thought there was no light at the end of the tunnel and Mr. Schrade and his staff reminded me that there was and that they were doing everything legally conceivable to get justice for me. He will not belittle you and he will be upfront with you, something which is a rarity these days. I am a single mother and a paralegal and I can tell you that Mr. Schrade is the attorney I trust and cannot thank him and his staff enough for everything they have done for me. Whether it be criminal, divorce, custody, etc., Mr. Schrade will fight for you and will explain the process and anything else, no matter how many times you ask. He will never abandon you and as someone who has worked in the legal system, I can honestly say that he is a cut above the rest!

Richard Schrade was recommended to us by several friends and colleagues who spoke very highly of him. My husband and I had a difficult case which had been sabotaged by previous legal counsel. We immediately felt renewed hope after meeting Richard for a consultation. We appreciated Richards straight forward advice and opinion of what we could expect and he proved to be a man of his word. Furthermore we witnessed firsthand in court that Richard has an impeccable reputation of respect and high regard with fellow attorneys and the judges, that speaks volumes of his character! Richard not only proved to be an outstanding attorney he also proved to be a sincerely caring man with sincere compassion. Thank you Richard!

I recently retained Richard to represent me on an issue that was incredibly time-sensitive with potential implications that would have been extraordinarily damaging to many areas of my life. I was an absolute wreck when I called him. He responded immediately (even over a holiday weekend) and got to work on my issue right away. The matter was resolved in a matter of days, only because Richard went far above and beyond my expectations. I am a legal professional myself and have never worked with anyone else I would imagine giving the kind of time and personal attention that Richard gave to me during this monumentally difficult time in my life. The issue would likely have turned out much differently had I called anyone other than Richard. I truly cannot say enough good things about him. He is professional, incredibly knowledgable, has great working relationships with other lawyers and court personnel, is always kind and reassuring, and works harder than any other lawyer I know. He is a bulldog, plain and simple; and a FIERCE advocate for his clients. I would recommend him to anyone and everyone I know, without qualification. They simply don't come any better than Richard Schrade. I am forever indebted to him.

I have had the pleasure of knowing Mr. Schrade now for over 20 years. He is a GREAT LAWYER and that was what I was looking for. But what I found was more than that. I found a great friend and someone that if he believed in your case was a bulldog in the courtroom and would fight for you till the end. He would also tell you the truth and if you didn't have a case he would tell u that and let u make your mind up to go on or not. Richard is everything the rating system above is about. Excellent in all> Trustworthy, Responsive,Knowledgeable, and will kept you informed all the way till the end of your case. And at the end of your case you will have most likely end up with what I did for the last 20 years.

During a particularly unpleasant time in my life I had the opportunity to work with Richard Schrade. He was recommended by another attorney friend of mine. I met with him several times. He was always professional, caring and understanding. We discussed my case, and he never gave me any false hopes. In his laid back demeanor, he gave an excellent court presentation. The judge did not reach a verdict that day, but I did leave feeling good about the way I had been represented. We did find out later that the judge ruled in favor of our side. I have recommended Richard to anyone who has asked what attorney I used. I would recommend him to anyone who asks.

Richard helped me navigate a divorce which is a very emotional and life changing experience. I felt that he professionally guided me through the process and gave me good legal advice based on his experience. He was sympathetic to my needs and very accessible during the process. I would recommend him to anyone!

Excellent, knowledgable, fair ...a few words I would use to describe Richard Schrade. I would recommend Richard Schrade if you're in search of a divorce attorney. He was very thorough, caring, and sincere in taking me through one of the most difficult and emotional times of my life. He laid out all of the details (of the divorce process) in laymans terms and made good, fair, and sound recommendation based upon my situation. Richard Schrade is an excellent attorney and I highly recommend him!

I was referred to Richard by a lawyer in Atlanta when I needed representation for a criminal issue in an area of the state where I did not know anyone at all, and I had no idea who to call. I had never had any criminal legal dealings in the past and was overwhelmed and incredibly anxious about the entire process. Richard was always reassuring while at the same time very frank about my options and what I should expect. He very clearly knows the law, and he was a fierce advocate on my behalf both in court and out of court in dealing with the prosecutor's office. I never had any trouble getting Richard on the phone, he always responded promptly to my emails, and his staff was very pleasant and professional. I work in the legal field and can honestly say I would send any of my friends or family members to Richard. He has my unqualified endorsement. Richard Schrade is a class act and a phenomenal lawyer.
