Carlton H. Schuh Law Office, S.C.

Law Firm Overview

Appleton Attorney with the Right Experience

Everyone knows the importance of experience for a lawyer. But more important than having experience is having the right experience, experience that directly helps you solve your legal issues.

Before becoming an attorney and starting my law firm nearly 20 years ago, I spent 14 years in Law Enforcement and nine years as a Traffic Homicide Investigator. This experience benefits me in every one of my legal practice areas. From my office in Appleton, I represent clients from all over Wisconsin.

The Benefits of Law Enforcement Experience

If you are experiencing issues that require legal help, you can rest assured that my experience as a lawyer and as a Law Enforcement Officer will help with your situation:

• Personal injury: If you've been in a car or truck accident, I can explore the accident scene and discover clues that will help you get the compensation you need for your injuries.
• Criminal Defense: I am familiar with the procedural rules regarding OWI stops and the evidence rules for other criminal charges. If I am unable to get your case dismissed, I will strive to get you a better sentence.
• Family law: My experience in Law Enforcement helps me handle any kind of divorce, giving me greater ability to read people and to know what to expect. I can help with traditional divorce, mediated divorce and collaborative divorce.
• Wills: I can help you prepare a will, power of attorney documents and a living will, so you can be ready for the unexpected.

I can also be a resource for you if you are facing mesothelioma, asbestosis or lung cancer, helping you find the right law firm to take your case.

There When You Need Me

You can call me at the office or the home office after hours, and I will do everything I can to return your call by the end of the day. I know it's hard to get around if you've been injured, so I will also come to your home or hospital to work with you. I am there when you need me.

Reasonable Fees With No surprises

I make my fees simple and easy to understand, with no surprises for you. If you hire me as your lawyer, you will leave your free initial consultation knowing exactly what you will be paying for my services.
