The Best In Mid West, No Doubt, No Comparison

by Neyklem at Citysearch

Doug has been my HERO from day one. I knew from the moment he picked up the phone and spoke to me that justice will prevail. He asked me the details of my accident right away and he was patient enough with me since I was dealing with memory issues. He encouraged me not to lose hope and scheduled to meet with him. From the beginning he has made me feel like a person not a just another client on his book, or a number. His entire staff has been so good. They were very helpful throughout the entire process and they never gave up on me no matter what; that shows how professional and dedicated they all are."BRAVO" to all of the staff. My case was handled well and faster than I expected. I give all the credit to Doug and his staff. I wish to share this experience with everyone I know and even will continue to share my story with people I don't know so they can have the same experience as mine; which will give them the best results sooner than later with less headaches. Doug Schmidt simply you are the best and I have to agree that you have changed my life forever. Throughout the journey you have helped me get through all the ups and downs. The way you nurtured the relationship made me feel as if I was part of your family. I will always cherish that. Thank you so much for everything you have done and especially for your compassion.

I have been working with the Schmdt Law Firm since my automobile accident in December, 2009. I have been well informed by all of the paralegals: Shawn, Patricia, Colleen, and Vanessa as well as Doug Schmidt, Attorney, on any and all changes in my case. They have been very respectful to me in all of our interactions from phone calls, e-mails, and office visits. I have been very fortunate to have this team working on my behalf.

by KevLong at Citysearch

Over two years ago Doug Schmidt represented me in two traffic accidents.

The first one Doug settled for $45,000 which was the standard formula for my accident.

The second one Doug dazzled me with his brilliance and depth in courtroom procedures. He was able to get their insurance company to pay the policy limits of $100,000 and then he filed an underinsured claim in Hennepin County Court where we went to trial for five days and we were awarded $385,000 by the jury. Doug was very impressive as he battled Allstate’s lawyer.

I was very proud of Doug and recommend him highly to anyone who wants the best to represent them. Again, thank you Doug for being the “very best!”

Great team to work with

by mworeck at Citysearch

I and two friends returning from a fishing trip to North Dakota to Wis had the misfortune of being in a serious accident on interstate 694. We were taken to the hospital and checked out. That was the beginning of a long process. We hired Mr Schimdt and team and were met in Wis. to have our statements taken. From that point our cases were handled in a very meticulous manner and even from the distance we had no issues with all the communication that had to be done. I can't say enough about the team effort, working with Colleen and with Mr. Schimdt. I thought with the distance issue we would have some issues however that was't the case and would highly recommend this firm to anyone. Thankyou Mr. Schimdt, Colleen, and team of the Douglas E. Schimdt Law Office

Best personal injury law firm in Twin Cities

by Joy A at Citysearch

Doug and his team are top notch. They are very hard-working and meticulous with getting the best results for the case.

I felt like I was in good hands through the entire process. At first I was a bit leary, since I had a previous experience with a law firm that drew out my case for over eight years. I did not want to go through that again. Doug and his staff resolved my case in under two years, which was quicker than I thought possible. I couldn't be happier with the outcome.

Thanks Doug, Vanessa and everyone else!

• Pros: Organized, professional, hard-working, smart law firm
• Cons: can't think of any at the moment

The only lawyer that has ever gave me his best effort

by Darrel at Citysearch

I feel very lucky to have Mr. Schmidt working for me.

He took my case when my first lawyer would not or could not fight his way out of a paper bag. MY case was very involved but Mr. Schmidt made look so easy. His organizational and paper work skills are second to none. He commands and directs in a courtroom with the finesse of a prize fighter. And delivers the knock out when you can not see it coming.

• Pros: He knows his way aroud a court room
• Cons: He is very direct

Great law firm

by MaryArdito at Citysearch

The Schmidt Law Firm has more than met my expectations. Doug Schmidt is an honest, highly motivated, caring and competent lawyer and is very aggressive in his representation. His staff is the best that I have come across. The whole office is like family and I would highly recommend this office to anyone. My husband had another law firm for his accident and there was no compassion.

Top Injury Lawyer

by dcadc at Citysearch

I am a chiropractor who was seriously injured in a car accident. My case was with another lawyer for many years, without much happening. When Doug Schmidt took over the case, things happened-and for the good. He produced a great liability settlement. He took my No Fault case to arbitration hearing and got a marvelous result. When they paid the amount of the award, but refused to pay interest as required by law, he took them to District Court and got an order from the Judge making them pay the interest, too.

Doug Schmidt is an absolute bulldog who will fight for every last penny. I couldn't recommend anyone more highly. I only wish that I had known about him when I was still practicing. I would have recommended him to every single patient of mine-Absolutely without reservation.

• Pros: Absolutely the best-A real fighter!!!
• Cons: Absolutely none.

Best Law Firm in MN

by happylawclient at Citysearch

Douglas Schmidt and his staff have been a true blessing. I was referred to Doug by my medical provider; I went into Schmidt Law Firm and was immediately happy with my decision to seek an attorney. Doug and his staff have kept me informed on my case, and anytime I have a question, I am always able to talk to someone that is able to help.

Thank you Schmidt Law Firm!!!

This is who you NEED!

by itty1031 at Citysearch

I was referred to the Schmidt Law Firm by a medical provider after sharing the extreme difficulty I was having with the attorney I had hired. The first attorney I had hired never returned one phone call, transfered my case to another attorney within the firm without notifying me, did not respond to any messages or faxes that I sent, and his paralegal (who was supposed to be managing my case) did not even know I was on her caseload! The day I called Doug at Schmidt law firm he PERSONALLY got on the phone and talked to me. He and his legal assistant Colleen stayed late so that I could meet with them THAT DAY! We could not get daycare on such short notice, but that was not an issue. The entire staff (including Doug) at the firm were so nice and talked and played with our 4 children. Immediately Doug realized that there was a lot more to my case that I knew and that my previous attorney had seriously dropped the ball. Colleen called me almost every day to see how I was doing, get more information on my case, and update me on what was happening. Because of the serious nature of my injuries, they also stayed in contact with my husband so that nothing was missed. It was not odd at all to find them working in the office on a weekend trying to get us compensation since I had not been able to work since my accident. We recently received the first portion of my wage loss and Doug decided that he was not going to take the 1/3 he was entitled to (and yes, I firmly believe they deserved it for all the hard work they did) but said that we needed the money so bad that he was only going to take half of the 1/3. I could speak to Doug whenever I needed to and phone calls were always returned with an hour, if not faster. I just cannot say enough about the Schmidt Law firm. If you are looking for someone who really wants to help you and not treat you like another file on their desk, plus has the tenacity to get you what you deserve, this is the only choice you should make!!!

• Pros: Always available, treat you like a real person, compassionate, helpful, KNOWLEDGABLE.
• Cons: ??????????????????????????
