    Testimonials

    Sue Osborn | City of Fenton
    "I have been an elected city council member since 1985, and was elected mayor by the people since 1998. I have worked with many municipal attorneys and attended many state and national workshops and seminars. I have never had experience with anyone as knowledgeable as Steve Schultz. He is always very reliable and experienced in his opinions and responds to questions the same day. Since he became our city attorney we have not been sued by anyone regarding his legal opinions. He explains things so everyone on the council can understand and use them accordingly. He treats everyone with dignity and kindness and is very well respected by his peers. He supports our community by participating in local events and in the local chamber of commerce. Steve's integrity is beyond reproach and he is an exceptional individual. It was a very lucky day for the citizens of Fenton when we hired Steve Schultz to be our city attorney."
