I was represented better than I could have ever imagined. My needs were put first and I was treated with the upmost respect. My opinions were valued and my doubts were always reassured. Mr. Schmitt went above and beyond and did everything he could to ensure a great outcome. I could not have asked for a better attorney! Thank you Tom!

Tom and his team were incredibly attentive, quick to answer any questions. They will navigate you through the legal process and facilitate recovery and compensation. I felt very secure with them and would certainly recommend hiring them.

Mr. Schmitt kept me informed during the entire process. I was quoted realistic amount probabilities that resulted in me receiving more money than I originally expected to net. Thomas P. Schmitt is an intelligent man who obviously knows his craft. Tom is trustworthy and respects the law. I would feel comfortable recommending Mr. Schmitt to anyone in need of legal assistance.

I can't say enough wonderful things about Tom Schmitt. He is a lawyer who cares about the individual, and takes the time to answer your calls or emails when needed. In my particular case I had a lawyer in the beginning who was awful and treated me like dirt, he will remain nameless, and the firm he was with will also remain nameless. I was told by a friend of Tom Schmitt, personal injury lawyer. I immediately emailed Tom Schmitt, and told him my situation asking him if he would represent me in my personal injury case. Within a matter of 24 hours Tom Schmitt called me and said he would represent me, and that was 6 months ago. I'm happy to say I've received a settlement for my personal injury, plus Tom got me 6,000 dollars more than was originally asked for. I'm a senior citizen, I'm not rich, but I expect to be treated like any other person off the street. The compassion and kindness that was shown to me by Tom Schmitt and his para legal, Nicole Lopez was outstanding. I've always believed that there are Angels out there somewhere, you just have to know where to find them. And I do have to say that Tom and Nicole are the Angels that I needed to help me win my settlement. Bravo Tom and Nicole! JR

Tom handled, arbitrated and litigated our families wrongful death case for 3yrs and in the end we were nothing but impressed. I have no choice but to write a review that is nothing short of outstanding. Tom took on a major US corporation and in the end we were awarded more than we had asked for, unbelievable. We highly recommend Tom and thank him for his unparalleled work.

Thanks to his level of confidence, commitment and professionalism, Attorney Thomas Schmitt, of Goldstein, Schmitt & Wade, secured a settlement for my personal injury case that far exceeded my expectations. He was calm, cool and collected as he negotiated my settlement. Clearly, he had the opposing attorneys extremely uneasy with his outstanding presentation. His presence commanded the room and gave me a sense of confidence and well being. I walked into the mediation process with serious doubts about my case. It had it's fair share of weaknesses and issues. However, Tom is a no-nonsense type of guy, he simply got the job done, and he got it done right. I walked out of mediation that day in disbelief. Tom made it look to easy! Due to confidentiality clauses, I am not at liberty to devulge details of my case or my settlement, but it's safe to say there was cause for celebration that night. I highly recommend Thomas Schmitt for your personal injury case. He kept me in the loop from the time he took my case right up until the time he settled the case. Unlike so many attorneys, Tom actually returns calls and e-mails in a timely fasion every time, which gave me peace of mind throughout the entire process. As his client, I never once felt neglected by him. He's a wonderful guy and a great attorney. I would not hesitate to retain him in the future.
