Performance of Schneider and Melissa Swan
Good attorneys are a rare commodity, especially these days, when people seem to be so obsessed on milking money from others. I found Mike and Melissa to be real honest people. Being honest is one pre-requisite; the other quality that a client must seek in hiring an attorney is whether he/she is competent or not. I would also give an A+ to Mike and his team on competency. He and his team represented me on two accounts and did their work with due diligence while charging reasonable fee. They won both cases for me, which were not so easy. Another reason I admire Schneider and company is that they advised me not to file another case. When an attorney tells you not to do something and save your money, trust him. Most attorneys would take your case and give you wrong advice. Not Mike. I am a big fan of Mike and his team and respect them, after being burned by numerous attorneys (on the same cases). I whole heartedly recommend them.

EXCEEDED MY EXPECTATIONS!
I was charged with two felonies facing up to 20 years in prison. Mr. Schneider negotiated a plea deal for me that resulted in one felony charge being DISMISSED and the second one reduced to a Misdemeanor. My punishment was 2 years probation. I cannot say enough good things about the professionalism and timely manner in which he handled my cases. If you want a highly intelligent and very competent attorney representing you, this is the attorney you want on your side fighting for you!

In the summer of 2013 I found myself visiting multiple legal firms in the FTW area. I was searching for the perfect person and firm to represent me. I was filing for custody of my very young daughter. When I met Melissa Swan, I knew that my search was over. She immediately had a game plan and made me feel very secure. Anytime I had a question, Priscilla and Jason made sure that it was answered in a timely manner. We spent less than a year, and after it was all said and done, I have primary custody of my daughter. I would say hiring Ms. Swan and Schneider Law Firm was one of the smartest decisions I have ever made.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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 thorough 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
