The Schaps Law Office - Davis, California

I'm going to start by saying I'm a single mother and I don't have alot of money at all. I had a personal matter and I didn't know where to turn or who to call. After calling countless lawyers that couldn't or didn't want to take my case I was hopeless, until I called Michael's law Office. I explained what I was going through and he had a big heart and felt sorry for me and took my case probono. When I tell you he was god sent and words can't describe what he did for me and how appreciative and grateful I am for him helping me with that situation. Michael's a very nice and understanding lawyer, even if he can't help you he'll get you in the right direction. Call Michael's law office if you're in need of a lawyer. I'll never forget what he did for me.

Michael Schaps was a Godsend for my family and I! He is so knowledgeable, willing to help, honest, professional. He saved our family from losing hundreds of thousands of dollars by his valuable information, which helped us immensely, in our case. We highly HIGHLY recommend the Schaps Law Office!

I would not advise you to utilize his legal office. I recently contacted Michael regarding a legal matter, and unfortunately, my inquiry was met with disregard. Michael exhibited dismissive behavior, quite literally laughing at the seriousness of my situation and displaying a significant lack of willingness to provide assistance. He offered no serious consideration of my issue, which I was shocked to receive because this attitude sharply contrasts with his office's previous positive reviews.

As a prospective client, I found this demeanor highly unprofessional and disrespectful, particularly because it comes from someone operating his own law practice. Regardless of his assessment of the viability of my issue to his practice, I expected a higher level of professionalism and courtesy.

For me to write a whole google review on this, when I never write reviews and have never used this system before, should say something about how poorly this situation was handled.

Edit: Upon receiving the owner’s response and call about my review, I believe it is necessary to offer more context regarding the situation.

We exchanged a quick phone call on April 2. In that 2 minute-long phone call, it was quickly evident that Michael was not taking my situation seriously.

I understand the need to be blunt, as I am a blunt person myself, but his “practical solution” was advising me to “Tell them to go to hell”. I responded to this with “That’s unprofessional, I can’t do that,” and all he replied with was “So?”

My issue was against a national organization over several thousand dollars, so the lack of seriousness my issue was treated with was shocking.

His unprofessional attitude is what inspired this 1-star review, not his refusal to take my case.

Unfortunately I was in a car accident and was hit by a drunk driver, it was a very traumatic experience for me. I decided to hire a lawyer to help me with suing the other person’s insurance for my personal injuries. I chose the Schaps Law office based off the great reviews I read online. The experience I had with The Schaps Law office was great from beginning to end! I was able to be seen for a consultation within a few days of calling. I went to the office which was very nice and I was greeted by Rachel at the front desk who was very nice and she even gave my daughter crayons and paper to color with while I talked to Micheal for my consultation. The consultation went great, Micheal listened to me and gave me all my options as far as moving forward. I decided to hire Micheal because from the beginning he was a great listener, honest, compassionate, and determined to help me get what I deserved for what I went through while also making sure my expectations are realistic for the type of case I had. Over the 10 months my case took to settle, Micheal made sure to communicate with me, send me updates, as well as getting back to me the same day when I had any questions or concerns. My overall experience was great! 10/10 highly recommend!

We hired Michael to help us with a lot line dispute with our neighbors. This was a difficult situation, but Michael helped us navigate it, and we found him knowledgeable, smart, articulate, but still able to communicate legalese in a clear manner. We highly recommend Michael, if you need legal assistance!

My experience working with the the attornys at this law firm was smooth and easy. Michael and Rachel were both incredibly attentive, easy to reach, and committed to handling my case. I am a student at UC Davis, and had a bike accident in which I sustained head injuries, broken bones, broken teeth, and other various bodily injuries. Before this incident, I had no legal vocabulary and was completely unaware of what I might be entitled to. They were able to get me a larger settlement than I was expecting, and supported me in all possible ways throughout the process. They were very committed to making sure I was completely informed and aware of everything they were doing, and I felt really comfortable and empowered. I highly recommend working with Mike and Rachel!!

I am truly grateful to have had Michael Schaps as my attorney. Not only is he a professional and knowledgeable lawyer, but he is a sincere and caring person. He strongly believes in our rights as citizens, and firmly stands to defend those rights. I always trusted he would do all he could for my case, and what I felt was equally important was he believed in the cause he represented. Michael communicated updates in the case and I felt well informed throughout the process. The successful outcome of my case is a reflection of Michael’s ability, skill, and competence as a lawyer. I never thought I would need an attorney; however, if you find yourself in need of one, Michael is someone I would recommend.

Mike Schaps is one of the most talented, creative, resourceful and caring attorneys I have ever met. He connected me with all the important professionals that were necessary to help me on the civil side of my case. He is an excellent communicator, both as a writer and a speaker. He also knows how to make me laugh when I start thinking negatively! Moreover, Mike is highly intuitive and authentic, a rare combination in an attorney.
