Incredible representation! The entire staff is not only competent and professional but ethical and compassionate. Pircilla has never failed to avail herself in Alison's absence and has gone above and beyond in her endeavors to assist and resolve any issues related to my case. I have greatly appreciated Alison's expertise, poise, and patience throughout this long agonizing process.

Melissa Swan is Amazing! love her she's so nice and understanding and doesn't take crap from anyone! Will Defiantly use her again!

Bria Wallace represented me in a family case. I would and have recommended her to many friends who were or have been in the same situation as I was. She is very professional and honest. She helped me get the most precious thing back to me. Thank you Bria.

Absolutely the best law firm around when it comes to Family Law. I first came into contact with Melissa Swan in 2013 and I only wish our paths would have crossed way before. Melissa is outstanding and has been a total lifesaver for my daughter and myself. She, along with Priscilla and Laurie have gone above and beyond. I would highly recommend Melissa Swan.

In 2012 I found myself looking for a lawyer. I found Schneider Law Firm. I went in for my consultation, and then met with Melissa Swan. Melissa is very understanding and handled my case with care. I had Melissa handle my divorce, custody and child support case. Melissa is very knowledgeable in family law and got me everything I wanted and the initial divorce and custody case took only 11 months. I highly recommend Schneider Law Firm if you end up need a family or criminal lawyer. I gave them five stars when they deserve a 10. I have and will only use Melissa Swan for any and all of my family law issues in the future,

Melissa Swan was absolutely brilliant at handling a family law appeal judgement for me. Appeals in family court are VERY difficult, but she cared enough to really dig deep and make a bullet-proof appeal case and WINNING! Would highly recommend.

Melissa swan did great ! Won our child custody case hands down. Rough start finding right attorneys but finished strong .Also won our child support case too ,in same case.

My attorney was Emily LaChance in dealing with a case of molestation of my step son. The allegations were brought by his biological father, whom has a history of domestic violence and has been vocally distributive in our family long before the accusations. Emily took a through journal of all the events before, during and after the accusations to show the DA's office that this was another attack on our family by a volatile and non reputable individual. She stopped the criminal investigation before it ever began. She also went above and beyond by dealing with CPS, which falls under family law. She drove from her office to my home in Bedford to assist in a one on one interview with CPS to close out their case. This was a very trying time for me and my family and she also dealt with the emotional roller coaster that I was on. She always answered my questions via email, most of the time instantaneously, regardless if it was 10pm or the weekend. Even after the case was closed she made me a binder of all the events for my records in case the biological father ever decided to try to hurt our family in this way again. Thank you Emily for all your help!

Case dismissed, Aggravated sexual assault of a minor. I am pleased to submit to you this letter of recommendation for Emily LaChance to be your next Criminal Attorney. This was the worst time of my life, especially when I had done nothing to warrant the charges leveled against me. I truly felt victimized by the false charges, accusations, and slanderous lies. Having Emily’s representation brought a tremendous feeling of peace to both my wife and me. Her positive attitude and wise council, along with her intervention with the Criminal court system was a relief with the no bill dismissal I received. She was always available to meet with us, answer phone calls and emails. She is the most talented, knowledgeable, hardworking and caring attorney. Her experience from the Criminal Courts as an Assistant District Attorney helped us understand the court process and she had a plan for my case from the very beginning. Her enthusiasm supported us to get through this most difficult time, and we finally got the happy ending! We highly recommend Emily LaChance, and we are truly grateful for what she has done for us! Please do not hesitate to go to her when you feel you are helpless! She is the one you can rely on! Emily, I want to thank you for representing me over the last year.

Alison Porterfield was assigned as my daughter`s ad litem in our custody case and she was great. She was very professional and solely cared about the needs and best intrests of my daughter. Thank you Alison!

This law firm is amazing. The staff at this law firm is friendly, knowledgeable and very helpful. In my particular case they went above and beyond to help me find the right solution. Gave me advice and opinions before they actually took my case. It hasn't been all about money, they were willing to work with me and any time I had a question it was answered promptly. Mrs. Portifield was very thorough in her preparations for my case and was upfront on what to expect. Laurie and Pricilla are extremely helpful as well. I trust this law firm completely and would recommend its services to anyone.

My lawyer was Alison Porterfield she was the best thing that could have ever happened to my family during our custody battle. She was so proficient and caring. She always made us feel as if we were her number one priority and that we were not just another case that she actually cared what happened to our daughter. I always tell anyone I know that is going into any family court issue that they need to hire her. And, yes if you are wondering we won our entire case with better results then we even asked for!!!!
