Schmidt Salita Law Team

I had a car accident that causes damage in my lower back. Insurance company refused to pay for medical assistance and assistance in the process of a fair settlement. Doug and his team always kept me up-to-date on process and gave me many great and helpful advices. They are very caring, compassionate and respectful. I would highly recommend Doug Schmidt as very knowledgeable and very experienced injury lawyer. Thanks Doug for all your work!! more

If there was a guy I would want to represent me in a personal injury case it would have to be Doug Schmidt. He not only represented me but my husband as well..he really reassures people constantly on how their cases should progress but progress fully to the point that the insurance companies are begging to settle. We were with another local attorney but our cases were dragging on too long. Doug basically took the bull by the horns, wrestled him to the ground and killed it!! He is an aggressive litigator as well as a bulldog when it comes to settling with insurance companies. And to think he does NOT advertise on TV like some of the other DESPERATE attorneys that are starving for clients. He is more on a level playing field with clients rather than take from you. Doug would rather give you more than less. He is not an ambulance chaser as some of the personal injury attorneys in town but he will give a hand up to you. He went the extra mile when my husband and I were nearly losing our home to help us put off our mortgage until we went back to work. He will go the extra mile to help you and your family when you need it the most. When I would fax something to him, he would answer my questions within 24 hours and explain it to me so I could understand it without using a lot of legal mumbo-jumbo. I first met Doug when he was in downtown Minneapolis and he was aggressive then as well as now..so if you are looking for an AWESOME personal injury attorney, call on Doug Schmidt and his staff...you will be glad that you did!! more

Doug Schmidt and his team has been phenomenal!! I stumbled upon Schmidt law firm shortly after my auto accident. The firm has been very accommodating and very welling to meet me where I am with my loss/struggle. E.g. one of the associates came out to meet me at my work place while she was on maternity leave and that alone speaks VOLUME about their devotion and dedication to their clients. \r The team is very friendly and professional. I visited the office not to long ago for the first time and felt right at home. \r Doug Schmidt and this team are very knowledgeable and insightful. They were able to help me with extending my car rental, and recommending/referring to some of twin cities best medical professionals. \r Overall, I am very pleased and satisfied with the experience I have had. I highly recommend Schmidt law firm and would definitely use them again in the future. more

I highly recommend Doug and his wonderful employees. I was in a car accident 3 years ago and immediately contacted him. As a young adult lawyers intimidated me, until I met Doug. Both he and his wonderful team made me feel secure and taken care of all throughout my case by always knowing the right things to do for my case, as well as my health. He takes his work seriously and gets the job done, while also being a delight to be around. I was very nervous to be in a Law Office at such a young age, but after meeting Doug and his team, I felt 100% comfortable talking and working with him and his employees. He has one of the biggest hearts and truly cares about his clients and always makes them his top priority. As unfortunate as my experience in my car accident was, Doug made all of my worries disappear with his passion for law and his clients. Having Doug represent me has been a total pleasure and I recommend him with no hesitation! more

One of the finest Attorneys in Minnesota is Doug Schmidt.\r \r Doug combines great legal skill with massive compassion. Doug is not intimated by the size of the insurance company, or the size of the law firm that is defending the case. Integrity and dedication are the two words that best describe this Doug Schmidt and the staff of his law firm. \r \r I was involved in a complicated car accident case were the insurance company was not forthcoming in medical assistance and assistance in the process of a fair settlement. Doug and the team at his firm kept me up-to-date on process and advised on continuing treatment. Doug had experience with the injuries I had sustained and this knowledge provided both comfort and confidence through a very difficult time in my life. Doug was not afraid to be aggressive in his representation of my case.\r \r This total client focused legal office has the aptitude to make you feel like the most special and important person in the world.\r \r I strongly recommend Doug Schmidt for his highly ethical and professional representation. He is truly a superb lawyer in our community.\r more

I was injured in a very serious car accident almost 2 years ago and have sustained life altering injuries. At the time I was not sure about where to turn for help, but a friend recommended Doug Schmidt. \r \r The other driver was totally negligent and was the sole cause of the accident. All he received from the court system was a misdemeanor charge and a slap on the wrist. It is very frustrating to know that he will go on with the rest of his life and never have to think about what he did. I will never be able to forget it because of injuries that I will live with for the rest of my life. \r \r Doug and Vanessa have been amazing. They are very caring, compassionate, and respectful. I am confident that Doug and his team will ensure the best possible outcome for my family and me. more

I highly recommend this Law Firm. The staff is very nice and knowledgeable. They have help me with everything. They are very compassionate and always available to answer all my questions and concerns. Doug is a wonderful human being. He knows how to do his job in a precise way. He have lots of experience, he is very caring and friendly.\r If you are looking for a attorney that can deliver excellent results , you have to get in touch with Doug and his team. \r Thank you so much to all of you. You guys are the best. \r \r more

18 months ago I was involved in an auto accident. I debated about going to a lawyer, but was talked into it by my family. I made an appointment with Doug Schmidt on the recommendation of a co-worker. It is the best thing I could have done. Doug spent a lot of time with my husband and I answering our questions. He has a very compassionate, and extremely knowledgeable team, especially the paralegal I have been working with, Colleen Clark. If I have a question she always takes time to talk to me, and make sure my question is answered. They have helped to make sure I get the treatment I need without cost to me. This has been a very difficult \r year and half for me, my life has completely changed, but if I had to find the silver lining it would be, meeting and working with Doug and Colleen. more

I would highly recomend Doug Schmidt he is very knowledgeable and also available. Most attorneys have a staff that does all the work and they just go to court. Not Doug he is hands on and aware of what is going on at all times he will meet with me or speak with me over the phone depending on what needs to be done. His staff members are professional and concerned about your case. When you are not feeling well and don't understand the law at all this is the place to go. They see to it that you get the proper medical treatment and are aware of your right's. They see to it that you get the best outcome possible inregards to compensation for your loss. The go above and beyond which is rare in this day and time! more

Doug Schmidt is a highly experienced attorney who employs an in house team that is always efficient, thoughtful, caring, and friendly.\r \r The car I was driving was hit by another car that ran a red light. My wife and daughter were also in the car.\r \r Doug and his staff listened to my story and understood that the most important thing was taking care of my family and trying to prepare to move on after this devastating event.\r \r Because of the complicated nature of dealing with car insurance companies and the life altering consequences of such an accident, having an Attorney that has focused on these cases in the past was crucial to receiving the best settlement possible. \r \r As the legal process began, it was clear that Doug had built a reputation of respect from the insurance companies, for me, that resulted in a case that the insurance company was willing to settle quickly and at a higher settlement. \r \r If you need legal counsel that provides experience that will assist you with positive results, I would count on Doug.\r more

Without the help of Doug Schmidt and his wonderful staff I would not have been able to pay many of my staggering medical bills due to my auto accident. I was clueless and overwhelmed after my accident; it left me with some life changing injuries and I had no idea that my auto insurance was denying me the medical coverage that I deserved! I would highly recommend this law firm; you want them on YOUR side! more

I would give the Schmidt Law Office the highest possible recommendation! I never expected an attorney to treat me with so much respect and compassion. It's actually been a complete joy to work with Doug and his professional staff. Doug's knowledge of his industry and passion for what he does is SECOND TO NONE! Alicia, Vanessa, Colleen and Lindsey are always accomodating, professional and kind. I couldn't be happier with the attorney I have chosen. more

I would recommend the Schmidt law firm to anyone in need of an attorney! His office and staff Vanessa in particul , have given me 150% effort in getting the help I need as far as a tough fair law firm more

Personal Injury Case. We have been working with Doug and Stephanie on my brother's case since December 2009, when he was involved in a car accident that left him with a Traumatic Brain Injury. When looking for an attorney for my brother (we live out of state), we came across the Schmidt Law Firm website and contacted Doug right away. I just want to say that in the past, I worked for two law firms, one of them being a Personal Injury Law Firm. I had my reservations since I didn't like the atmosphere that I worked in, I found it to be extremely unprofessional. Let me say that Doug and his firm are top notch! You want them to work on your case. They are compassionate, loyal, caring, and understanding. They treat you as if you are a part of their family. They have helped us from the beginning and they continue to help us. I wouldn't want any other law firm representing my brother. Thank you so much and thank you for always staying in contact with us. It's been a difficult 3 years for our family. Thanks! more

I've been working with Doug for over 3 yrs now and the time frame was due to ""My Doctors"" and not Doug!! But Doug didn't give up but he took the time to gather more information about my case and my medical treatment and the ""lack of medical treatment""!! Doug is ""Old School"" when it comes to law and preparing for a case and it showed when it came to dealing with the opposition! After the last deposition the other law firm agreed without question to litigation and not a court case! I totally recomend Mr. Schmidt to any one that wants to get quality care, and total attention to your case from a highly qualified staff there is no one better!! Sincerely Brian K. Olson more

As a paralegal that did my internship with the Douglas E. Schmidt Law Office I want to say that I could not have asked for a better experience. With their focus on the client and doing all that can be done in the best interest of each client, these people know what they are doing. I learned so much and was able to witness, first hand, a master at work. more

I am currently a client of the Schmidt Law Firm. I was very badly injured in a slip and fall incident. My case is against a major corporation. I made the mistake of hiring one of the largest personal injury law firms that advertises a lot and is very well-known. My case was neglected and poorly handled. My attorney showed up at my deposition without proper preparation-of both me and himself. It was a disaster! I finally fired him and went looking for another law firm. I talked to many and finally decided on the Schmidt Law Firm. The result was unbelievably good! As bad as the first lawyer was, Doug Schmidt and his staff were that exceptional. They are respectful, competent, and aggressive. The attitude from the lawyers for the defense immediately changed. I could tell that they knew that they were in for a battle. I have given the Schmidt Law Firm a 5 star rating and wish that I could give it a 10 or a 20!!! If you look carefully at the reviews that are posted, you will see that many of the reviews are from clients that have had a bad experience with another law firm and switched to the Schmidt Law Firm with excellent results!!!!! more

First of all I must thank you Doug, for believing in me, and taking me on as your client. Second of all for your kind staff. It actually is a joy to talk to them. I know that YOU are a winner because you are so engaged along with your staff. You have shown me just how a law firm should act. Thank you to you and your staff. I appreciate all that you are doing to try and help me and I will be happy to work right along side of them. Trust me this is one lawyer who will believe in you, trust you, and treat you with the utmost respect along with his friendly staff. They don't act like you are a bother, or your case is just too small, or you are unimportant.It is just the opposite. You are treated like you are the only one, and they actually make you feel like they care and they do care. Don,t make the mistake I made taking a lawyer and just believeing he was going to do his job because he had his name under a big marquee. Wrong!! I can save you a lot of heartache and time. Just check out this Law Firm and meet with Doug and or his staff and you will know instantly that all those lawyer stero types and jokes do in no way pertain to the way Doug and his staff act. Doug is confidient, thorough, efficient, and a winner. I learned this the hard way from a law firm I was involved with that didn't have the time of day for me. The lawyer actually went to a deposition, and never knew I had a second surgery. After botching my case up, and interviewing lawyers, I knew Doug was the one. I prayed hard that God would intervine and send me to the right lawyer. The next day I met Doug. Now I thank God. I know it was devine intervention, and I thank Doug for taking me on and believing in me and knowing that I was really hurt. This is a winning law firm. A big thank you to Doug, Roxanne, Debbie, Alisha, Stephanie, and the rest of the staff. I learned a lot from these people. #1 that they care and I count. Just when I was going to give up God showed up and brought me Doug and his staff. I learned a big lesson Winners never Quit and Quitters never Win. I am proud to be a client at your firm. Thank you for turning my NIGHMARE into HOPE! Joannie M. 03/09/12 more

Doug has been my HERO from day one. I knew from the moment he picked up the phone and spoke to me that justice will prevail. He asked me the details of my accident right away and he was patient enough with me since I was dealing with memory issues. He encouraged me not to lose hope and scheduled to meet with him. From the beginning he has made me feel like a person not a just another client on his book, or a number. His entire staff has been so good. They were very helpful throughout the entire process and they never gave up on me no matter what; that shows how professional and dedicated they all are.""BRAVO"" to all of the staff. My case was handled well and faster than I expected. I give all the credit to Doug and his staff. I wish to share this experience with everyone I know and even will continue to share my story with people I don't know so they can have the same experience as mine; which will give them the best results sooner than later with less headaches. Doug Schmidt simply you are the best and I have to agree that you have changed my life forever. Throughout the journey you have helped me get through all the ups and downs. The way you nurtured the relationship made me feel as if I was part of your family. I will always cherish that. Thank you so much for everything you have done and especially for your compassion. more
