Hear from Those Who’ve Trusted Our Experience

If you don't know this attorney, you need to! In 2001, I hired John Schiro to handle my appeal. My previous lawyer had made a mess of my case and my life, and she was completely incompetent. When I met John, I definitely didn't trust lawyers and I was skeptical of him. I quickly realized that I was dealing with a competent, knowledgeable, and honest man. His level of professionalism, at all levels of the judicial system, has earned him a great deal of respect (and believe me, our DA certainly did test the limits). John took on my case and probably, at times, wished he hadn't. It took two years of investigation, briefs, rebuttals, blood, sweat, and tears but we (he, really, but I like to take a little credit) won. My entire case was overturned based on ineffective assistance of counsel (and from what I understand, less than 5% of people actually win an appeal based on that). That information alone should have you taking a second look at this attorney! I need to add that I was originally convicted of multiple felonies and sentenced to 40 years in prison when I first hired John to help and handle my appeal. I knew I wasn't guilty and was still in a daze as to how I got to where I was. I can still remember one of the first things that he said to me, "I'm not going to lie to you and tell you everything is going to be alright because I don't know that. You are going to need the best lawyer possible, and I'm telling you that I am." Don't mistake his forthright attitude and words for arrogance. He has earned the right to make such statements because he is diligent, honest, articulate, tenacious, and the absolute best lawyer. He won't let you down. I owe Mr. Schiro my life, literally. If you hire anyone else (especially one particularly high-profile female attorney in Milwaukee), you are making a mistake. Just ask Mr. Schiro for yourself to tell you about the woman who was sentenced to 40 yrs. And everything he did to reverse her convictions. But, you will need lots of time to hear the answer.

I was referred to Attorney Schiro by a close relative. Attorney Schiro was the third attorney to represent me. I had no faith at all in the previous two attorneys, nor did my family or friends. I was charged with two felonies and a misdemeanor. The charges were extremely serious and my life was literally in his hands. My freedom, livelihood, and reputation were all on the line. I was frightened beyond words; however, I had complete faith in Attorney Schiro and his legal team. I knew the truth would prevail.

The prosecutor was very uncooperative; however, that did not deter Attorney Schiro at all. He filed multiple motions and made numerous phone calls which were not immediately returned. He did not anticipate we would have to go to trial, yet he was definitely prepared to. He was tenacious and relentless in his pursuit to advocate for me. I knew exactly what was going on with my case. I was able to speak with him directly regarding any and all questions and concerns that I had. I actually felt as though we were a team.

Attorney Schiro and his legal team immediately began gathering evidence that ultimate led to all charges being dismissed by the prosecutor. I was acquitted of all charges. My arrest was erased and all of my rights were restored. Although Attorney Schiro and I did not always see eye to eye, I always had faith in him. He is extremely trustworthy, compassionate, honest and professional. I was treated with dignity and respect by Attorney Schiro as well as his staff even after the acquittal.

Don’t take chances with your freedom, livelihood or reputation. Hire Attorney Schiro. You will regret it if you don’t.

John made me feel comfortable from the start. He reassured me that my case would be handled correctly and to the best of his ability. The fact that John was not from my city was a concern, but my questions were always answered quickly. In the end, all was as he stated. I do not have a felony on my record! I was amazed at his and his staff's professionalism and attention to detail. I believe he's the best lawyer one can get and I highly recommend his services. Thanks, John!
