Most people are nervous about calling an attorney’s office. Why? One, they have a problem and need help. Many people do not like to ask for help until the problem gets so bad they have to call.  So they are nervous about why they waited to call our office.

Second, people are always concerned about paying an attorney. So they search the internet for an answer to their problem (I have been there and use the internet to get answers for many things-car repairs, house repairs, health issues). At some point, while you think you know the answer, you want a confirmation, or just simply need the legal guidance of a local attorney.

In order to alleviate your fear about calling an attorney=s office, attorney David Schmidt provides the following instructions for anyone needing to speak to his office:

Call and ask me some questions. AI will spend time on the phone with you and evaluate what the problem is and give you my legal point of view. Then, if you like what you hear, and I can help, you can schedule an appointment to come in, meet me and the office staff, and we can discuss your legal issues and how I will be able to help. If it is preparing estate planning documents, I will give you a list of documents I suggest you prepare and the cost for putting these documents together for you. If it is a disability claim, I will explain the process for going on disability, for both short/long term disability actions and social security disability, and how it will affect your lifestyle and your income.  If we talk about a personal injury action, discrimination claim,  product liability claim, or real property insurance dispute, I will evaluate your claim and let you know how I plan to proceed. If you are a business owner, I will listen to you, determine the area of law that concerns you at the time, advise you on what needs to be done, and also discuss your current legal documents and corporate status so that you have the legal protections you need. 

In all cases, you will leave my office more informed and better educated on the legal issues you are concerned about, as well as knowing more about me and how my office can help.  So the best thing for you to do now is call the office at 636.240.6667 and ask for David Schmidt.
