About

I am a North Carolina Board Certified Specialist in Family Law and a N.C. Certified Family Financial Mediator. I grew up in Iowa in a small farming community, the oldest of four children.  After graduating from college, I married my college sweetheart and moved to North Carolina before attending law school in Virginia and finally returning to the Triad to establish my roots and to begin my life-long dream of practicing law. I have three children, am active in my church and local little league, and when I'm not playing "superheroes" with my kids, I enjoy sharing my cooking with my family, playing drums, working on our farm, and I always have a home improvement project to work on.I am passionate in my representation of my clients.  I strive to be accessible to my clients, and every client has my cell phone number.  Utilizing technology is an important part of my practice, which increases my ability to keep my clients informed.  When a client is out of town, but really needs a face-to-face conference with me, I have Zoom available, even at times when I'm not in the office but still available to talk to a client.  I work with my clients on establishing a course of action in their case that they can afford. Continuing my legal education is very important to me, and I regularly present at and attend conferences to keep my legal skills sharp and my knowledge up to date, so that I can be on the cutting edge of legal representation.  If I don't know the answer, I'm confident that through my firm's extensive law library and online legal research tools, I can find the answer.

When looking for an attorney for my husband's custody dispute, Joe was the first attorney that came up when I googled. I loved everything that I read about him. Once we knew we definitely had to retain an attorney, I called 13 different offices and had to leave a message at almost every office that I called. The one thing that I immediately liked about Joe, he personally called me after I left a message, not an assistant. He listened to me go on an on about the issues that we were dealing with. My husband and I had a zoom conference with Joe and I immediately knew he was the right one for us! The day of court was the first day we met him in person. He was very welcoming and supportive. I have never met an attorney with more compassion that Joe has. He calmed our worries and was phenomenal in the courtroom. I would recommend anyone needing legal advice to Joe Schmitz!

Joe and his colleagues went above and beyond for my children. There was never a moment during our very stressful process that I felt alone or unable to have a question addressed. He is extremely timely in responses as well as caring. Joe was highly recommended to me and I now highly recommend him. His knowledge, guidance, and compassion make him a truly exceptional attorney.

Joe is very good at what he does. He offered much needed advice during a difficult time. He is very professional with a strong work ethic and has helped me out on more than one occasion. If you find yourself in need of a lawyer's help, reach out to Schmitz Law.

I highly recommend Joe Schmitz. His calm, patient demeanor talked me off cliff many times. Joe and Rhonda kept me updated and informed in a timely manner. In the end I got the results I desired.

Joe is an absolutely stellar attorney. He is quick to respond and always on point. This is my second time working with him and I have not only witnessed his skill in mediation but in the courtroom as well. His rates are very reasonable and well worth it. What stands out most about Joe is that you never feel like just another client. He truly cares about you and what you are going through and is never reckless with your money. Both times I worked with him, I came out on the winning side. You can't find better.

He was professional helping me to deal with a threatened law suite and interacting with the NC Secretary of State on my behalf. Also He gave good advice on dealing with family on some estate issues.

Mr Schmitz and Rhonda were some of the most professional individuals I've encountered in my life. While the nature of our business was inherently negative, they were empathetic towards my situation and always provided sound advice which enabled me have the best possible outcome with my case. Rhonda was always caring and friendly when every I spoke to her, and Mr Schmitz was consistently straight forward with me even while displaying genuine concern for my opinion and desires. Great team.

Joe is getting me through the nastiest divorce that I've had the displeasure of being involved with. He is on top of everything, he is very pleasant and friendly in his business transactions. Joe has went above and beyond the call of duty that you would expect from an attorney. I not only see Joe as my very trusted attorney but also as a friend that I trust my life with...

Joe provided sound legal representation, Godly and biblical guidance, and he helped me protect my children in a dangerous separation/divorce situation. Joe and team exceeded my every expectation by going above and beyond the call of duty. Joe has been there for me every step of the way.
