    I Cannot Say Enough Good Things
    I cannot say enough good things about Courtney Lerch. She represented me on a case from 2022, and after years of stress and uncertainty, she was able to get my case dismissed. From the beginning, Courtney was professional, knowledgeable, and confident. She took the time to understand my situation, explain the process, and fight for the best possible outcome. What stood out the most was her dedication and attention to detail. She didn’t treat me like just another case — she genuinely cared and put in the work needed to defend me. Having a charge like this hanging over your life is difficult, and Courtney helped me finally move forward. If you need an attorney in Savannah who knows the law, communicates clearly, and will stand beside you, I highly recommend Courtney Lerch. I am extremely grateful for everything she did for me.

    5 Stars Does Not Even Begin to Give Enough Credit
    5 stars does not even begin to give enough credit to Courtney Lerch. I had found myself in need of her services in Chatham County just 3 months after moving here to Savannah. She not only has a massive amount of knowledge in her field, she also works relentlessly to give you the best possible outcome, whatever your given situation is. Miss Lerch makes herself available to her clients so that you know what is going on in every step of your case. She also has hired an excellent staff so that if you are unable to get a hold of her, they are knowledgeable enough in your case to give you updates so you are not left hanging in the wind. Miss Lerch was able to get a reduction in my case, which helped me to not lose my job and also avoid further complications. If that wasn’t enough, due to unfortunate circumstances, I ended up needing Miss Lerch’s services a second time 3 years later, and she accepted my case without hesitation. She continued to be the same relentless counsel that she had been in my first case and never once held judgment against me for messing up. When you doubt yourself and come down on yourself, it is hard enough, but the encouragement and the still being firm, but fair attitude that Miss Lerch displayed while handling my cases is exactly what I needed to turn things around. I honestly could not recommend this firm and Miss Lerch enough when you find yourself in a tough situation and need a lawyer who will be there for you every step of the way.
    Brett Pollard
    Absolutely the Best in the Business
    Absolutely the best in the business. Courtney Lerch and her team will fight and get your best outcome. She personally answers, and there is absolutely no running around or just voicemails. The most professional staff I have ever met.
    Cole Paige
    She’s the resource to call when in trouble
    As a family, we have made wonderful memories in Savannah. Attorney Lerch solved a problem quickly for us after a night out which led to an arrest. She was efficient, honest, responded quickly, and reached out on her personal cell phone after hours. She’s well-versed in the Savannah courts! Do not hesitate! She’s the resource to call when in trouble. Worth every penny and is now considered a family friend. We are super grateful!

    Excellent Experience with Schneider Lerch
    I had an excellent experience with Schneider Lerch. As a truck driver, dealing with legal issues can be overwhelming, but their team made the entire process smooth and stress-free. They were knowledgeable, responsive, and took the time to explain everything in a way I could understand. Most importantly, they delivered results and successfully got my case dismissed. I truly felt like they had my best interests at heart from start to finish. Their professionalism and dedication gave me confidence every step of the way. I highly recommend Schneider Lerch to anyone, especially drivers, who needs a reliable and experienced legal team in the Pooler area. Thank you again for your hard work and support! -C. Corbin

    This law firm is the best! They communicate and work with you so well. They always responded to my calls and emails ASAP! The price they gave me was very reasonable.
    Montel Mitchell
    A True Professional and a Hero
    I cannot sing Ms. Lerch's praises loudly or often enough to adequately describe my satisfaction with the service and results provided. She kept me up-to-date on the progress of my case, advised me on mitigating steps I could take to bolster my case, and, in the end, my case was dismissed with no charges, which I honestly did not think would be possible. A true professional with both a compassion for her clients and a passion for her work. Thank you, Courtney! You will forever be a hero in my book.
    Daniel Jumpeter
    I Am So Thankful
    I have had a good experience with both Courtney and Cris! My DUI was reduced from DUI to a lesser charge. I am so thankful. I would highly recommend this law firm!

    Courtney Lerch Is the Best!
    Courtney Lerch is the best! I found myself in need of her services in Screven County, GA, and I could not be happier with the outcome. Miss Lerch was always available for consult, and she delivered exactly what she promised! I highly recommend her for your criminal defense needs.
    Mack Keenan
    They fought for me and got a favorable result.
    Cris Schneider, Courtney Lerch and their whole team have been a blessing to me during this difficult and stressful time in my life. I made a horrible mistake and thought my life was ruined. I have never been in trouble in my life and really did not know how to navigate the courts and law. But they really helped and guided me throughout the whole process. They fought for me and got a favorable result. I would personally like to thank Courtney because she was the one who was there step by step, answering my phone calls and messages. She made the whole process less stressful than it already was. A big thank you to Cris Schneider, the whole team and especially a big thank you to Courtney.
    fernando bustos
    I can’t recommend Schneider Lerch highly enough
    I can’t recommend Schneider Lerch highly enough. They were able to get my motor vehicle ticket dismissed, which was a huge relief. Not only did this save me the immediate cost of fines and penalties, but it also spared me from years of increased insurance premiums, which would have added up significantly over time. The entire process was handled professionally and efficiently. Courtney clearly explained what to expect, was responsive to my questions, and made what could have been a very stressful situation feel manageable and under control. If you’re dealing with a motor vehicle ticket and want someone knowledgeable, dependable, and effective, this is absolutely the attorney to call!
    Sharon Maccagnano
    Highly Skilled Professionals

    Very Highly Recommended
    Very highly recommended. Took care of me the whole way. Always available to talk as long as you are considerate. Definitely great at what they do. If you want a firm that is actually going to work for you and their job and take it seriously, this is the place to go. Highly recommend it.
    Keny Marrero
    They treated my case like it was life and death
    I knew I was wrongly targeted, and Schneider Lerch not only believed me, but they believed in me and went to work. Ultimately, my case was dismissed. They did not just add me to a pile of clients; they treated my case like it was life and death because to me, it was. I would recommend them to anyone needing legal assistance.
    Coach Gene Clemons
    You protected my career, my future, and my ability to continue caring for my child.
    I came to your firm at one of the lowest points in my life. I was facing a felony charge for locking my child in the house—a moment that came out of fear, exhaustion, and being a single mother with no help, trying to protect my home and my child when he was destroying my property. I felt alone. I felt judged. I felt like I had no options and no one in my corner. On top of that, I lived every day terrified of losing my nursing license—the career I've worked so hard for, the way I provide for my family. But you all stepped in, not only as my attorneys, but as my lifeline. You protected my career, my future, and my ability to continue caring for my child. You didn't just defend a case—you defended my name, my purpose, and my hope. Because of you, I am standing today with my life, my child, and my career still intact. For that, I will always be grateful. I don't just recommend Schneider Lerch—I stand behind this firm with everything in me. To anyone who feels alone, overwhelmed, or like the system is stacked against them, this is the firm you want fighting for you. They have your back when it feels like no one else does.
    Marissa Simpson

    No doubt that they would the great result. I had a bad experience in my life, but the lawyer saved me from the bad situation. Definitely I will recommend my friend if they got the same situation.

    Great firm! Words can't express my appreciation.
    Great firm! Words can't express my appreciation for Mr. Cris Schneider. Hopefully, I won't need them again, but if I should, hands down coming back! I highly, highly recommend this firm. Tessa is also awesome, very professional, polite, and responsive. Can't thank this firm enough!
    Kimberly Sutton
    They made the entire court process incredibly easy and stress free.
    I’m so thankful to Courtney and Cris. As someone who lives out of state, they made the entire court process incredibly easy and stress free, and I never once felt worried. They were not only kind and professional but also delivered amazing results. My case was dismissed, and so were the cases of everyone they represented that day. Either they have magic powers or they’re just that good at what they do. I can’t thank you both enough.
    Raul Cerna
    By far the best lawyer's office
    By far the best lawyer's office. Courtney Lerch was very helpful and resolved my case. I couldn’t ask for a better law firm. Thank you all so much for your marvelous help.
    Rashawn Roberts
    She genuinely cared about helping me
    I had a speeding ticket, and one of my friends introduced me to Courtney Lerch. From the very beginning, she showed an incredible level of professionalism and care. She even messaged me ahead of time letting me know that I didn’t need to appear in court because she would handle everything herself. Unfortunately, I missed her message and went to court anyway, but that gave me the opportunity to meet her in person. Meeting Courtney reassured me immediately. She was not only highly professional and knowledgeable, but also very respectful and approachable. She took the time to carefully listen to my situation and explain the process to me in a way that made me feel informed and supported. What impressed me most was that she didn’t just act as my lawyer—she came across as someone truly ready to stand up and fight on my behalf to ensure a fair outcome. That human touch combined with her deep legal expertise made all the difference. Courtney’s dedication, confidence, and experience gave me a sense of relief during a stressful time. I felt that I wasn’t just another case to her—she genuinely cared about helping me. It’s rare to find a lawyer who balances empathy with such strong legal skills, and she does it exceptionally well. I am very grateful for her support and highly recommend Courtney Lerch to anyone in need of legal assistance. With her on your side, you’ll not only have a lawyer who knows the law inside and out but also an advocate who truly cares about your best interest.

    Cannot Be More Satisfied
    Cannot be more satisfied with my experience. Courtney was such a pleasure to work with! She made everything so easy to understand and the whole process was very streamlined. She also made me feel very well taken care of. I had several consultations with other attorneys at other firms, and Courtney by far was the easiest and most personable to talk to, which I greatly appreciated in this stressful time. Definitely recommend!
