“Rachel Schmidt did an outstanding job when you consider the complexity of my divorce. What differentiates her from my previous attorney is that she listened to me as I methodically presented the challenges before us. We would then strategize in a collaborative manner, as to how to address the many different parts of my divorce decree. Since this was a “David taking on Goliath” scenario with Goliath having some “skeletons” in the closet, Rachel would allow me to draft certain portions of the decree as the boilerplate language was not conducive. Again, I would recommend Rachel Schmidt, of Cordell & Cordell, to anyone.”
