They did a great & fantastic job at keeping me informed of the legal matters & also taking care of my medical needs. They are very courteous & professional staff. I would highly recommend!!

Arthur Aranda handled my case exceptionally well, addressing all my concerns promptly and providing quick answers to my questions. He is truly the best, and I felt treated like family throughout the process. Following my surgeries, Arthur and his staff frequently checked in on me, making me feel comfortable with their suggestions. Ultimately, he secured the best possible settlement for me. I highly recommend the Schoel Law Firm to anyone in need of exceptional legal representation.

Hands down the best law firm you want in your corner for family cases. Throughout the years I have hired several lawyers due to complicated child custody and support complications but Mr Schoel has definitely set the bar. From the first welcoming into his office to the last court visit his professional attitude and ability to communicate with his clients was phenomenal. This law firm helped me understand that I wasn't alone. Thanks to him and his wonderful staff for backing me up, now I have my daughter under my roof. I wish words could describe my appreciation but I fall short to convince people why The Shoel Law Firm should be their number one pick. As we all know the saying " you get what you pay for " this is just that. The cost of hiring him saved me thousands of dollars and in fact put money back in my pocket. Every book has a story and the Shoel law Firm is the backing that holds my pages! Shawna DeHayTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. I went to this firm when I filed for divorce. Mr. Schoel and JoAnna (best paralegal ever) were so patient and helpful. They walked me through the process and reassured me along the way. I cannot sing their praises enough! Very thankful for their quick responses to any questions I had and for offering their expertise on matters they have dealt with numerous times so that I wouldn't waste time fighting a losing battle or setting my sights on anything other than the bigger picture. Their advice was invaluable, and I am so thankful for their help! CD FranklinTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. I had a divorce case with Gavin Norris & he messed up my case, lied to me & took over a year when it was supposed to only be a couple months. Right at the end I hired Mr. Schoel & he not only picked up where Norris left off be fixed his mistakes & finished out the case the way it should have been many months before. He was great & very thorough. He was compassionate & looked out for my best interests. While I didn't have as much time working with him than most, he helped me when I really needed it. He was recommended by family members & I definitely agree that he was amazing. Shannon IrelandTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. Throughout my entire claim, Arthur’s assistance was invaluable. He expedited the process and provided exceptional guidance, clearly outlining my position and the unfolding events at each stage. Arthur diligently pursued every available avenue to recover the maximum compensation from the insurance company, leaving no stone unturned. Now, I keep a small stack of his cards, in case anyone I know finds themselves in need. While I would prefer to avoid a future occurrence of needing them, if I do, I want Schoel Law Firm in my corner. Morgan ReedTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. Amazing work and nothing but the best from them at all times.
