When I needed an attorney to help me through a divorce from an abusive marriage, my niece recommended Kurt Schnelz and I am very glad I chose to follow her recommendation. Right at the start, Kurt said he liked to handle situations like mine in the most gentlemanly way possible and he favored a personal phone call from him to inform my husband of my filing rather than having him served. Kurt also told me I would be entitled to be recompensed for the monetary difference of our social security benefits going forward which was something I did not know I could ask for. My husband chose a young, budget-priced, inexperienced attorney, a choice he later told me he much regretted. Throughout the process, Kurt was supportive to my situation and encouraging to me. He was diligent in working through the delays caused by my husband and his attorney. The outcome was a settlement that was amiable to both parties. I feel Mr. Schnelz is thoroughly knowledgeable and did an excellent job in handling my case. He kept me informed and always responded to my calls or emails. He explained my options to me and made excellent recommendations. I could not have asked for a better attorney.

As a new single mother, I found myself consumed with worry over what my daughter's future would look like. Mr. Schnelz walked me through the steps we would take to ensure financial security for her. Throughout the entire process, his communications were timely, he set realistic expectations for outcomes, was empathetic, and most importantly, was able to provide the end result that I had hoped for. His entire staff was professional, friendly and extremely efficient. Mr. Schnelz and his team exceeded all of my expectations.

I was involved in a contentious divorce at no fault of my own. Kurt worked very hard to remove the emotions from the litigation and focus on a fair and equitable solution. Kurt’s mastery of the law, his reputation with his colleagues and his tenaciousness were advantageous. Kurt was especially artful as a strategist. His thoughtful consideration of all legal matters allowed me the best defense possible. Kurt gets respect in the courtroom and also cares about his clients. I can recall getting a call from Kurt on Thanksgiving day, just checking on me to make sure I was managing the stress of the divorce. He cares. I am very appreciative that I had a highly competent, respected and caring attorney to manage my important legal matter.

Schnelz Wells did a fantastic job helping me and my family through a challenging divorce and custody dispute. Consistently, Kurt Schnelz and his team demonstrated a fair-minded and caring approach that encouraged the best possible outcome for the family, while protecting my financial and legal interests. I highly recommend Schnelz Wells for family matters.

When my ex unexpectedly filed for divorce and full custody of my young boys, I had no idea what to do. Thankfully, a friend of mine recommended I talk to Kurt. He said that Kurt was one of the best attorneys in the state. I went to Kurt and I’ve been thankful for that decision ever since. Kurt knows the law inside and out, but just as importantly, he understands the process and how things work. He didn’t waste my time or money on insignificant items. He asked what was important to me and focused on making that happen. My priority was the well-being of my kids and I have no doubt that was Kurt’s priority as well. He cared about me and he cared about what happened to my kids. Kurt’s hard work resulted in me getting custody of my sons and they are happy, well-adjusted, young men today because of that outcome. I have no doubt that the outcome would have been different if Kurt had not been my attorney. It has been 7 years since Kurt settled my divorce and he has helped me countless times since and I have no doubt that my friend’s opinion of him was correct. Kurt is the best!

We were referred. He said all the right things. He did none of the right things. It was only after losing tens of thousands of dollars to his over-zealous billing that we did some research. Could we really be the only clients having to deal with his arrogance and dismissive behavior? The answer was simple and clear. Strong NO. If you did deep you will find the cases involving him and past clients. We did our best to reach out to them, but all were afraid of his retaliation. We are currently working on a grievance. The time we cannot get back. He took advantage of a very traumatic situation. No remorse, no apologies. We were duped, don't you be. Good attorneys don't have a list of disgruntled past (and probably current) clients

My experience with Kurt Schnelz was dismal. I had a case that involved two children. What should have been a straight forward case turned into chaos for my children. I was constantly defending myself with Kurt as my representation. There were many conversations and agreements made with opposing counsel that I felt were not in the best interest of my children. He agreed to give my ex alternating holidays without my approval. Several meetings that occurred between the lawyers that I was not apprised of nor attended. I too had issues on billing that were never addressed and simply didn't have the money to dispute them. It should stand out to those reading Kurt's reviews that when Kurt received a negative review in December all of a sudden he received 5 positive reviews within a span of 4 days. All anonymous except for one? I can understand why the negative reviews anonymous (I for one fear retaliation).

He inflated my bill and forced me from my home. I think that says it all. His dad was one of the judges in Novi - so I was sent to Novi - Certainly this had a bearing on the outcome. The devastation was crushing. It took a long time to fight my way back from that as a single mother. Karma is tough I hope he makes amends with his soul.

I hired Mr. Scheltz to represent me in my divorce case. Mr. Scheltz pushed me to ask my ex husband for way more money than I was requesting. I thought this was completely unrealistic and I asked for something more reasonable. Needless to say this dragged out the process and inflated my legal bill. I didn't get any extra money and I ended up settling with my ex outside the attorneys. repeatedly told me he was "connected" in Oakland County. I suppose this is through his father who was a Oakland County judge and the current judges he supports though election efforts.

We realize that everyone seems to love their attorney one moment and hate them the next; however, we went into this with the best of intentions and it was terrible. We have since hired other counsel after Mr. Schnelz, in our opinion, refused to represent our intentions as he did not want to be seen as that attorney who actually litigates and doesn't make side deals. We realize that, in our opinion, majority of all Oakland County attorneys are familiar with each other as it is a small community, but it was represented to us that he wasn't there to make friends he was there to see that our child's best interest was presented. He went on to make arrangements with opposing counsel without our blessing and when we confronted him about this, we were told if we didn't like what he was doing go elsewhere. In the meantime, without our knowledge, in our opinion, he inflated our billing to the point that it equated almost one year of services with our other firms in supposedly a few month period. Again, we had the highest hopes for this and always give the benefit of the doubt, but, in our opinion, it was time and money wasted on someone who just wanted, in our opinion, to take money from us knowing very well that he would not be the strongest player at bat for us as it would ruffle feathers and make him standout as that attorney, in our opinion.
