I found myself in a terrible situation, Kurt Schnepper came to my defense (literally) He always treated me with respect, and like a person not a case number. He didn’t judge me for the things I was accused of, and most importantly worked on my behalf for the best possible outcome. What he did for me saved my life, and for that I will always be grateful!
