4
Responsive and communicative
“Mr. Schwab and his team were very responsive and experienced on matters for my case (pension payments on hold due to issues with Domestic Relations Order). He researched my case and related cases, and proactively took actions with the court and opposing counsel to obtain a determination in my favor.”
Cons
1
May overcharge or pursue unnecessary motions to increase billable hours
“Van Schwab, will continue to file motions till you stop him. He filed frivolous motions to increase his billable hours.”
2
Potential for poor drafting of legal documents
“The educational support agreement was a model of everything that you should not do in such an agreement: no say in school selection, no cap in tuition, no limit set on expenses that can be incurred (everything had "guidelines" that turned out to be meaningless to the judge.”
3
Lack of transparency and communication with clients
“This guy should retire or work for the mob. I found him through legal insurance and in hindsight, wished I never had legal insurance so I wouldn't have met him.”
