He's great at harassing grieving families and helping criminals exploit the elderly. He's happy to accept money from people other than his actual client so people without standing can harass family members using this person's expertise. He gives advice that can cost you upwards of $14000, but why should he care? He bills by the hour, so whatever happens to vulnerable, elderly clients doesn't matter at all to him. Run. Just run the other way.

Phil is extremely thorough, using layman's terms, in explaining what needs to be done , why it needs to be done, and how it should be done. The service is very friendly and the results excellent. My wife and i beleive that Phil substantially iimproved our estate planning/preparation. I highly recommend his services.

As the Successor Trustee of a trust having real estate co-owned by the trust and the son (who died intestate in Arkansas) of the initial trustee, I needed expert legal advice and assistance. From Alabama, I contacted Philip Schmidt by email and provided information for him to review. Based on other legal sources, I was anticipating large legal fees and Probate Court costs with the process taking considerable time Phil reviewed the information and determined the least costly and most rapid approach to getting the son’s interest in the property transferred to his spouse followed by her deeding it to the trust. Phil kept me up-to-date on the developments throughout. Four weeks following our initial contact, he represented the trust's interests at the property sale closing. The qualities that I wanted and needed in a lawyer I found in Philip Schmidt: sound legal knowledge and expertise, integrity, patience, and an excellent communicator.

Phil is an excellent estate and real estate attorney. He has helped my family on a number of issues including amendments and updates to a trust, real estate closing, and some minor business matters. I have always found Phil's knowledge and responsiveness to be excellent. When I need work in this area I don't even consider calling another attorney and whenever I have the opportunity to do so I refer Phil to friends and family and will continue to do so without hesitation.

I have known Phil for more than 10 years now. His professionalism, knowledge and character makes him very referrable. Phil has handled all my referrals in a very professional manner and I have satisified clients, family members or friends after they talk to Phil.
