Clients Who Trusted Us—and Would Again
ANGELO'S TESTIMONIAL
Attorney Schottland was highly recommended by a dear friend of my daughter who was a client of his previously. Due to the extremely sensitive and unique nature of her case, it was extremely imperative that the right individual was selected to defend her. When she selected Attorney Schottland, it was as if he was her relative. His very reasonable one time fee truly exemplified him as a man of high integrity and sensitivity to his client's needs and concerns. We never had to concern ourselves about his attentiveness and consistency of her case. In essence, he embraced her unique case as a personal challenge for his desire to improve as an attorney. My very limited interactions with him impressed upon me that he was indeed better than he thought he was. He came across as one who was humble, intelligent and highly competent. By taking good care of my daughter the way he did, truly blessed me as a devoted husband and father in more ways I can express. Sincerely; Lawrence V. Foster, Jr. Chaplain M.Div, BCC
Mr. Harter personally handled my case. His communication skills paired with his kind demeanor and expertise made quick work of my worry and legal problems. Thank you again Harter & Schottland!

Great law office. Helped me with some small troubles and explained everything.
Robert Deters did a wonderful job. He was very knowledgeable and extremely helpful with my case. I highly recommend him and this law firm.
Attorney Bruce Schottland handled my daughter’s case for DUI and oh my goodness the Prosecutor had many stops and pulls but Bruce knew the law and fought for my daughter and WON EVERYTIME the most unbelievable VICTORIOUS CASE. If you are in need of A DUI Attorney STOP NOW and call Bruce Schottland. It was the reviews that lead my husband and I to contact Bruce. I want you to know he will see you through. He tries hard to charge as less as possible- WE PAID ONE FEE at the beginning when we first retained him and not one penny more. He was worth every cent. It was if He was a caring Honest, Faithful Family member working so hard on my daughter’s behalf. Four days after the bench trial we are still trying to believe the Victory. After almost 12 months since we hired Bruce the Nightmare is over, and A God Blessed Dream Miracle has taken place. Thank you, Jesus, for using Attorney Bruce Schottland to Bless our family and Thank You Attorney Bruce Schottland for being a Kind smart man with Outstanding Integrity. Love and God Bless From A caring Mom Deborah Foster 01/ 23/2023

I wasn’t sure if I really need to seek legal help with my case, (traffic violation), but I’ve decided to try to find someone, at least to get advice. I called Bruce Schottland , (his firm had the best reviews online) and that was a good decision. He explained me the whole situation and how he could help me, in very honest and professional way. I’m really glad that I took his advice and let him take care of my case. I truly recommend his firm, great communication, professional, honest, reasonable prices. I’ve shared his number with my family and friends.

I cannot say enough positive things about Attorney Bruce Shottland, and his amazing legal team.

Bruce delivered on what we discussed achieving with my case when the case concluded with a very positive outcome. I would highly recommend Bruce and his law firm. Thank you Mr. Shottland for all that you did to protect my family, and your efforts are appreciated.
Jeremy is the best! I have worked with him and became friends within the past 10 years. I’ve referred numerous friends and family to him and they always were grateful I did. He really cares about his clients and will do what he can to get the best possible outcome. I will continue to recommend to him!!

He is a good person and a hard worker. I highly recommend him, you won't go wrong with this man........
Dealt with Allen and one other attorney. Can’t say enough good things about this law office. Price was very reasonable, everything was explained well and easy to get a hold of them when needed. Even the front desk employees were a pleasure to deal with. And when the time came they got me the absolute best possible out come in court. Would highly recommend!
Bruce represented me in a case and is a fantastic attorney. He does a great job of explaining the legal process and your options. He worked really hard on my case and got amazing results. He is definitely the lawyer to go with if you need one.
“I have worked with many lawyers in the past from real estate to criminal. This time I decided to call Harter & Schottland and it has been one of the best decisions of my life. I strongly recommend Bruce. Since meeting him he has worked with a few acquaintances of mine and they were also pleased. With Bruce you will get your money’s worth, and it will be a decision you won’t regret.”
Had to obtain Jeremy’s services for two different situations. The first one I actually had a different attorney and change to Jeremy Harter and couldn’t have been happier. He’s professional, communicates and will do the best he possibly can for you. I hope I don’t have to use his services again, but if I do I won’t hesitate calling him or recommending him. For a difficult situations he was amazing.
Big thank you to Robert Deters! He was very friendly and professional. He helped me and my 7-year-old son with an order of protection with complete success! My son is now able to play in our front yard with all his friends with no issues. It brings me such joy to see how happy he is now that he is not stressed about being threatened or harassed. Best attorneys in lake county! 5 stars!
This law office is great. Bruce is the man, he will always work hard to defend you and explain everything regarding your case simply and honestly. Fair price for excellent service. When you find yourself in a legal jam, these are the guys to call.
Very good customer service and professionalism! They literally answer every question and explain everything in complete detail. From the receptionist to all the lawyers, you right away feel comfortable just being there. They have free consultations which is awesome, after having a consultation you won't want to go anywhere else because like I mentioned before they answer everything and they make you feel comfortable. They are very punctual when court comes and my favorite is that you are literally in and out of court. Keep up the good work!
