The Schumann firm was very helpful representing the interests and final wishes of our loved one who had recently passed. They provided the advise, relevant information and necessary documents our family needed to move foreword with our particular case.

My mother was determined to put her financial affairs in order and worked with Ms. Schumann for several years to make sure that happened. When Mom passed away recently, Ms. Schumann promptly returned our call and set up a meeting to help my brothers and me through the process, difficult and raw as it was. I was impressed by Ms. Schumann's sensitivity and her experience. She had ready answers to all questions and responded to every email. I would recommend her services to friends and family and even asked whether she would consider helping my wife and me with our estate matters. Because I live outside Utah, she declined. I hope to find an estate attorney that I trust as much as my mother obviously trusted Ms. Schumann.

We hired Penni to compose our Trust. She understood what we wanted and didn't over sell us anything. She spoke with us at length and patiently answered all our questions, throughout the whole process. Would recommend her for her communication, ease of access and thourgh knowledge of the trust document.

How do I choose a lawyer?

Consider the following:

Comfort Level
- Are you comfortable telling the lawyer personal information? Does the lawyer seem interested in solving your problem?

Credentials
- How long has the lawyer been in practice? Has the lawyer worked on other cases similar to yours?

Cost
- How are the lawyer's fees structured - hourly or flat fee? Can the lawyer estimate the cost of your case?

City
- Is the lawyer's office conveniently located?

Not sure what questions to ask a lawyer?

Here are a few to get you started:

  • How long have you been in practice?
  • How many cases like mine have you handled?
  • How often do you settle cases out of court?
  • What are your fees and costs?
  • What are the next steps?

Want to check lawyer discipline?

It is always a good idea to research your lawyer prior to hiring. Every state has a disciplinary organization that monitors attorneys, their licenses, and consumer complaints. By researching lawyer discipline you can:

  • Ensure the attorney is currently licensed to practice in your state
  • Gain an understanding of his or her historical disciplinary record, if any.
  • Determine the seriousness of complaints/issues which could range from late bar fees to more serious issues requiring disciplinary action.
