Laken was incredibly good counsel. She was not only knowledgable and dillegent, but also patient and generously communicative about our case. She is an excellent lawyer and I highly reccomend.

Maritza is great! Knowledgeable, thoughtful, patient, empathetic, serious, and genuine.

10/10 for Laken! She has been an outstanding attorney. She's always available when I need her, incredibly efficient, and highly knowledgeable about child custody and support matters. Her professionalism is top-notch, and she consistently goes above and beyond to provide excellent service. I highly recommend Laken for anyone in need of a skilled and reliable attorney.

Laken is skilled at making a difficult situation easier. I’m really thankful for her and her help because I felt so overwhelmed about the legal stuff. She explained things clearly and simply, handled the process with finesse, and navigated any bumps. I don’t know what I would have done without her. The best part about her and what she does is that she is genuinely kind and a caring person. I went through a couple attorneys first who didn’t listen to me and I felt treated like another client just put through the process. Never so with Laken! She’s both professional and real warm. Highly recommend her.

I couldn't have found a better legal team.. Mr. DeRose fought for me when I needed it the most. Just put it in their hands, it's worth it.

My attorney Bob and his team were absolutely amazing, they stayed on top of things pointed me in the right direction when need be and pushed for what I deserved, I would highly recommend them to everyone all personal injury, medical malpractice, serious injury, Ohio workers’ compensation, probate, wills, and social security disability matters they practically do it all, Thank you guys again for everything.

Laken once told me that I would struggle to find anyone else that would work harder or care more than she and her team would. She was right! Laken was right there with me the whole way, she was respectful, responsive and most of all empathetic to my situation. Laken is able and willing to think creatively, anticipate upcoming challenges and consider alternative solutions. We entered into our year long involvement with one goal in mind. That goal changed over time, it required frank, honest and tough conversation. One of the things I valued most about working with Laken was her transparency. She isn't one to sugar coat, she was honest in outlining all potential scenarios which included hypothetical timing and costs. Those aren't always easy facts to digest but she never once mislead or lied to me. Another thing I appreciated about Laken was her willingness to consider my thoughts or even receive feedback. To me, it felt like we were a true team. I would recommend working with Laken and her team ANY DAY.

If you're black, pick someone else. She doesn't give a damn about the cultural issues that affect your child. Her goal is to "put you in your place" and get paid to hang out with her courtroom buddies. She is just as biased as the system she is a part of. If you decide to have kids, dont get divorced in this state.

Laken was excellent representation in my divorce. After successful mediation, she drafted complete and thorough affidavits and the various agreements (shared parenting plan, separation agreement, etc) quickly. I was able to get divorced much quicker than I anticipated because of the firms dedication to my case. Thank you!

In a tight spot and in need of legal advice, Laken was recommended by an acquaintance. I was attempting to avoid a divorce, but the other party was not transparent. I called The Schodzinski Law Firm LLC the morning before we were to close on our home with a lot of fear, questioning if I was strong enough to fight for my fair share of proceeds. Laken's office manager made me feel at ease and scheduled a consult the very same day. The urgency with which Laken handles your case makes you feel like you are her only case. I would have lost thousands in proceeds if my call had been scheduled just one day later. She spent two hours with me on the phone that evening, answering every question (in detail) until I felt completely comfortable with our plan. I filed for divorce just days later. Quick response, thorough explanations and proactive maneuvers make Mrs. Wise a skilled navigator of the most difficult divorce cases. She was able to predict what was coming, preparing me for all outcomes and (in less than six months) my divorce was finalized. I would hire Laken again today and I have already recommended her to multiple friends and family. On a personal level, I am more confident and determined than before I met Laken. I feel my reasons for ending my marriage are valid and necessary. I am so thankful for you, Laken.

After multiple lawyers shot me down and told me that I had no case, Mrs. Laken Wise took the time to hear me out and then immediately took me under counsel. While the other lawyers made me feel pessimistic about my chances winning a case like mine, Laken had other ideas. She expressed confidence that we would win the case and this confidence allowed me to feel more secure with my decision to pursue the case further. With a very complex, multifaceted, and unprecedented LGBTQ case, she poured an unreal amount of time and effort into my case. During trial, she displayed expertise and professionalism to the highest degree. Ultimately, we won the case and it is all to her credit. If I never would have found Laken, my chances of ever sharing custody of my daughter would be 0. Thanks to her, I can now rebuild a lost relationship with my daughter. I cannot express my thanks enough to Mrs. Laken Wise!

Laken came highly recommended when I needed someone to represent me concerning custody matters for my child. I found Laken to be very knowledgeable and professional. I appreciated her honesty, hard-work, and dedication to helping us navigate the system and reach a favorable outcome. Our family was very satisfied with the legal advice and services that Laken provided and can confidently recommend the Schodzinski Law Firm.
