IN HOUSE COUNSEL 

Large companies have the benefit of in house legal counsel to turn to for business advice and legal questions. For most small to mid-size companies however, hiring full time in house counsel may not be cost effective. At the Schindler Law Office, we offer effective legal representation and counsel on a case-by-case basis and provide our clients with the benefits of in house counsel but without all the burden.
