When I was ready to give up on a 3 year custody battle, I reached out to Speaker Law. After thoroughly discussing my case, they connected me to Lisa Schmidt. She was not only thorough, but passionate about my case. The team kept me updated through the daunting process of appeals. Finally, when the day arrived, I sat in the courtroom watching the cases before me. Lawyers fumbling through and (in my opinion) literally not doing their clients justice. Then, my case was called. Lisa Schmidt was decisive, poignant, and eloquent with the points she wanted to make. When asked questions, she was confident and it was evident she knew my case inside and out. Not only did I receive custody of my child, it was IMMEDIATE custody. Very rarely seen. She not only won our case, but possibly saved my child’s life. As anyone knows that has been in a custody case, you are often left with mixed emotions about lawyers. When I think of Speaker Law and Lisa Schmidt, there are only feelings of immense gratitude. Deciding to appeal is a difficult one. You feel beaten up and emotionally and financially drained. I would not (and have not) hesitate to recommend their services. They helped us get through the legal battle so we could focus on healing. Thank you, Speaker Law. Thank you.

Our law firm had the pleasure of working with the Speaker Law Firm on an application for leave to appeal involving several complex and cutting-edge legal issues. We hired Liisa and her team, specifically Elizabeth Parker, to consult with our law firm on our application and they proved to be invaluable on both the procedural and substantive processes required for this kind of appeal. The Speaker Law Firm worked well within the strict timelines and provided top-quality legal research and arguments to enhance our application. I recommend Speaker Law Firm, without hesitation, to any person or attorney pursuing an appeal in the State of Michigan.
