Divorce wasn't in my vocabulary, but I unwillingly found myself needing a divorce attorney. Laura was recommended to me by someone at my church. She was compassionate, listened carefully, and always had my best interest in mind. When I wanted to just give up, she pushed back just enough to help me realize that her experience was worth listening to. I felt legally protected and emotionally understood. Laura has the perfect balance.

Our son would have been lost without Laura's guidance and focus on his divorce case. She is such a strong advocate. Her ability to listen and understand his needs, the needs of his children, and the ever constant taunting threats from his wife and her attorney were met by her excellent knowledge of family law and how to protect him and his children. It's a scary world out there for those whose spouses are vindictive and unreasonable. He needed her excellent assistance to help him get the appropriate protection under the law. In court, she is a superstar: her demeanor, so professional; her language, so articulate and strong in front of the opposing side and the judge. Totally recommend her and her competent staff. A.

Laura is a consummate professional. Not only is she the most strategically gifted and resilient family law attorney I've met, she's also one of the most empathetic and caring lawyers in what can be a difficult field. From her conscientiousness about the financial aspects of a client's case to her concise communication, Laura exhibits foresight that only comes from years of experience. I can confidently say there is absolutely no other attorney in this space I'd trust for my friends, family, or myself.

I have pondered writing this review for months. I felt that no review no matter how glowing and positive would be enough to describe what Laura has meant to me and my life. When I needed a family law attorney I went to the internet and picked the first one I saw. I could not have had a better stroke of luck! First, I will tell you that Laura has a huge heart. When I first met her I was in such an emotional state I could barely string a sentence together. I was afraid she would see what a mess I was and decline to represent me. Laura had no reservations about helping me. From that first meeting Laura gave me the attention and consideration that made me feel like I was her one and only client. During the arduous process of divorce there were some serious ups and downs...mostly downs. When Laura saw me hurting, she hurt for me. I could see it in her eyes. Her empathy was so appreciated. When we were involved with court hearings and mediation, Laura represented my interests with remarkable talent and competence. Early in the divorce process Laura told me that these years could be the best in my life. Of course, I just could not see that. She was right, I am happier now than I have been in years largely because of the hard work Laura did for me during my divorce. Laura's assistant, Julie was terrific too! She and Laura are a great team and have been for many years. By the way, I was right! I don't think this review does Laura and her team justice. In short, you simply cannot do better than Laura Schantz.

Annalise and Damarise provided excellent legal support for my painful divorce. They carried me through the process, I was painfully useless, keeping me up to date on the proceedings and always ready to help me with my questions. Tim Sayre

I was so pleased with my experience working with all of you at Schantz! I definitely rate you a 10 out of 10, and I've already recommended you to several of my friends who have family law issues. Of all the family lawyers I've interviewed or worked with, your firm was the most helpful, giving me experienced advice about my case, and really making me feel protected from being pressured into unfair terms proposed by the other party. An huge stressful burden was lifted off my shoulders when I finally was able to speak the truth in court and have a positive result. Thanks to our new legal agreement we have fair boundaries, and my anxiety has gone way down. Thank you, thank you, thank you!

I have had the opportunity to work with Laura and her staff on several occasions. I really admire the approach she takes to very sensitive family matters. She has given me excellent legal advice and assisted through some very difficult times.

It is with sincere appreciation to Laura Schantz for the extraordinary effort and support she put forth in my dissolution of marriage. Her tenure experience, professionalism, and attention to detail from the initial consultation through mediation, and closure. My experience with Laura is characterized as best-in-class in support of my legal rights during these difficult times. I would highly recommend the representation of Schantz Law legal services to all others.
