During a time when I should have felt the most alone and confused, John Schrot provided the support and peace of mind necessary to help me move forward. John always made me feel heard and understood. He supported my goals throughout the divorce process and was unwavering in his commitment to represent me zealously. John always communicated and updated me regarding my case. He encouraged me to take my time thinking over how I wanted my case to be resolved. I never felt rushed to make any decisions and he was always available to answer my questions and guide me throughout this process. His knowledge of family law, his guidance, his commitment, his professionalism, genuine kindness and care for his client makes him a one-of-a-kind Attorney. John guided me through this maze that is divorce and I could not have asked for anyone better. I would have been completely lost had it not been for John's knowledge and representation. His compassion, his knowledge of the law, his professionalism, his confidence will make you feel and know that you are in excellent hands.

John brought a great deal of professionalism and integrity through out the entire process of my divorce. He understands the process completely and assisted me with his calm, soft spoken demeanor to navigate a difficult situation and obtain positive results resolving all issues in a timely and efficient manner. He is exceptional.

John represented me in a complex, ( 32 year marriage) divorce. He was a tireless and highly effective advocate for me and consistently demonstrated how extremely knowledgeable he is in family law. I quickly found out why he is so well respected by the bar and bench. Besides his impressive legal skills, John is a very nice person, and was very accessible which made it so much easier to go through a difficult time in my life. I was very satisfied with the divorce settlement. I highly recommend John.

John is an experienced trial lawyer and the best in the city. He has a broad based experienced attorney with vast resources to win your case. He is detailed oriented and gets the job done. I have used him for over 20 years on various matters, divorce, civil litigation.

Mr. Schrot has been and continues to far exceed all expectations. He brings his knowledge and communicative skills to all that he does. Mr. Schrot will go out of his way to make sure that the results he achieves are the best that can be obtained. He will take the time to explain the pluses and the minuses of the action you are contemplating taking. He will explore all avenues available to you and suggest some that you probably would not have thought of. I would not hesitate to consider using Mr. Schrot for any legal activities. He has been one of good moral and ethical character and able to fully represent me in all that he has been asked to do. I would strongly suggest that everyone think about at least talking with him. If he cannot handle your matter, he will find someone who can.

I can honestly and with good conscience not recommend Mr. Schrot. In my divorce I truly believe he fell short in helping me with my divorce at the expense of a hefty Lawyer bill in the end.
