Verified ClientHired Attorney Stephen C. Schahrer 2020-2021I have had the pleasure of working with Stephen Schahrer Esq. on many cases. The thing I like best about Stephen is he is a litigator and his thinking if superior in how he approaches his cases. Legal work is a tough area that we as businesspeople are forced to attention and approaching it as it is written in the law does not lend to success in your case work. The key to a greater understanding and approach to tough cases is to add the human element into the decisions and this is done by understanding the argument that will be presented in front of the courts. Further the determination of your case and if it should be a jury trial or a single opinion as a judge. Once you see these arguments as they will come together in real life allows you to make the proper decisions as the plaintiff or defendant in any case. Since most cases do not reach this point, the potential argument is critical in setting the perception of the opposing council long before you enter the costly expense as felt in the farther progression in the case. Stephen sees the argument in advance, understands the law and presents it to you for a clarity that allows you to either take the risk or remove yourself from a case without an upside potential of your projected benefit. If he does not know, he will seek the advice. Large fees for the legal team’s education are not a path I ever would suggest. This is not Stephen’s approach.

Hired Law firm 2026My experience with this law firm was extremely disappointing. The firm filed a stalking injunction petition against me based largely on my online speech and criticism. After a hearing, the court dismissed the petition, finding that the Attorney Neely Brown Wallace failed to meet the burden of proof. As the respondent, I spent significant time, money, and emotional energy defending myself against allegations that were ultimately not proven in court. I was particularly troubled by the fact that the case appeared to be based on speech that I believed was protected by the First Amendment. In my opinion, attorneys should thoroughly investigate allegations before seeking serious legal remedies that can affect a person's reputation and livelihood. Based on my experience, I did not feel that happened here. I encourage anyone considering this firm to review the public court records and form their own conclusions. The evidence Neely Brown Wallace submitted on behalf of their client is clearly falsified and please check the BAR website for updates.
