Huston & Schneider, PLLC

Courtney did a really excellent job representing me. She is professional, smart, refreshingly direct, and reasonably priced. I am appreciative for the work she did for me, and would not hesitate to hire her again.

I cannot recommend Kristin highly enough. She was responsive, helpful, and fiscally prudent with our retainer (we were pleasantly surprised when she informed us she would be returning a balance to us). She didn't make us jump through hoops, and we were able to negotiate and complete our filing through emails and a couple of virtual meetings. We thought this would be a stressful process, but Kristin left us feeling reassured that every detail was handled. (P.S. I'm not getting paid to write to this and I am an actual client-we are just so relieved and happy that we chose her.)

We've been meeting with Kristin Huston periodically over the last 3 years and she has always been incredibly helpful. Her advice is sound and her information is accurate - we wouldn't want anyone else to represent us in these extremely important matters.

I worked with Courtney in 2019 as she was my divorce attorney. She was phenomenal throughout the entire process. She is very knowledgeable and clearly has a ton of experience in navigating these challenging cases. She was supportive and responsive throughout the entire process. She also was a great listener and made sure to slow down and walk me through the details to ensure I fully understood each component of the decree! I would highly recommend Courtney!!!

Kristin was very professional and she handled my case with care. She listened, provided useful advice & followed through with anything I needed. I was not referred to Kristin by anyone, but at our very first interaction - her attentiveness and clear explanation of the divorce process, and what I could expect, put me at ease. She always made me feel open to contacting her and asking questions, and I will continue to utilize her services, going forward. I would gladly refer anyone who is looking for a trustworthy, loyal and professional lawyer, to her firm.

We would highly recommend Courtney’s services. She is very knowledgeable, helpful, easy to communicate with and highly capable. We appreciated that she was always able to respond in a reasonable time frame, and was able to help us get through a stressful experience. Her style is to stick to the facts and what’s effective, rather than engage in emotional exchanges with the opposing parties. She legitimately cares about her clients, and we couldn’t be happier to have hired her now that our case is resolved. She has gone above and beyond our expectations in multiple ways over the couple of years since we first consulted with her. I would never have expected her level of thoughtfulness. We would definitely recommend her to anyone in need of a family law attorney!!

Kristin was a joy to work with! She made me feel supported and comfortable through the entire process of my divorce. She is very responsive and does an amazing job of explaining all of the documentation during the process. I highly recommend her!

I worked with Kristin through my divorce and I couldn't have asked for a better attorney to have on my side. She was very attentive, thorough, and responded to my questions in a timely manner.

I don't know if our case was the most complicated case of all, but it sure was important for us to have somebody who will be able to listen, understand and help us. We have met with several different lawyers, but we decided to seek help from Kristin and surely did not regret it at the end. I felt that Kristin is a very compassionate person, but what really matters is that she is a professional, who knows what she is doing and best ways to approach a problem at hand. If you need a professional advice and help, Kristin would be the person to go to. She always got back to us in a timely manner and was able and willing to answer any questions we had.

We have had the wonderful opportunity to work with Courtney on many of occasions, both personally and professionally. She is committed to providing her clients with great service, passion for their situations, and professional and expert guidance. We highly recommend her services and have referred clients to her many times.

Kristin was absolutely amazing. I had hired an attorney prior to Kristin for my divorce, and unfortunately she was not working out. So a friend of mine recommended Kristin and I met with her. She eased my concerns and was so wonderful. I highly recommend Kristin for any of your attorney needs. Thanks again Kristin for helping me in an unfortunate situation.

I whole-heartedly recommend attorney Courtney Schneider of Huston & Schneider! She represented me during my divorce last year and I was thoroughly impressed. 2020 was a tough year with Covid-19 and going through a divorce during that time did not make things easier, but Courtney stuck with me through it all and helped me through it. She was calm (even when I was extremely anxious), honest, patient, respectful, very professional and a good listener, but also made sure to use time wisely, avoiding unnecessary charges. She explained things clearly and answered every single question I had and was always VERY prompt at getting back to me, which I very much appreciated. She is obviously deeply knowledgeable of the law and the legal processes in Minnesota surrounding divorce. In stark contrast, my now ex-husband found a lawyer who did not listen to him at all and apparently thinks that every person getting divorced has a vendetta to score. His lawyer tried to find multiple ways to hurt me the most, (which is not at all what my husband wanted) which also would have dragged out the process providing more fees to that lawyer. My ex-husband had paid his lawyer thousands of dollars to represent him but after her complete failure at the Mediation session where she greatly increased his stress instead of reducing it, he finally fired that lawyer and we settled. Again, in sharp contrast, Courtney listened and gave me great advice. She also had the technology readily available and fully functional to handle the virtual meetings we suddenly had to have due to the pandemic for the court meetings and Mediation session (unlike my husband’s lawyer who could not get audio or video to work properly for the meetings). Going through a divorce is difficult for anyone, but if you have Courtney on your side, you will get through it. I cannot thank you enough Courtney for all that you have done for me! You’re the best!!

My first appointment with Courtney Schneider, I was an absolute wreck. Courtney is kind, thoughtful and understanding. She calmed me down, explained the entire process, and let me know all the things I needed to do and what I shouldn't do. She helped me find my strength.
Now I've started a new chapter in my life and it's Incredible. I will gladly recommend her to friends and family.

Courtney Schneider is awesome! I've worked with another lawyer before her and I can tell you that she A) knows her stuff B) gets to the root of matters in a time effective manner which, equates to a good value C) is very responsive. I know others before me who have used Courtney and they were equally appreciative of her professionalism and effectiveness.

Kristin Huston took on a complicated custody case and dealt with it in a compassionate and professional manner. She helped us reach the best possible outcome quickly and proficiently. She navigated the system with experience and competence. We are extremely grateful we had her on our side.

Kristin was very supportive and always laid out all options available. She was always available when needed, and had solid, and sensible advice, in a messy divorce. Her up to date knowledge of the law, helped immensely, saved expense, and got my daughter back. Thank you, Kristin! I am forever grateful!

I would highly recommend Kristin Huston! I can't thank Kristin enough for all the help she provided during this difficult time of my life. Her professionalism and expertise in divorce law eased my stress and anxiety. Thank you Kristin for your outstanding job in representing me in my divorce!

Walking into an attorney’s office for the first time to discuss divorce, I was sick to my stomach. Courtney walked me through what I could expect & made me feel comfortable with the legal process. Unfortunately what should have been a fairly simple process (no children, few assets & prenuptial agreement) was not, as my ex lied & manipulated the entire process. Courtney helped me force the sale of our home to protect assets, she proved my ex actually created the prenuptial agreement he was disputing, got his request for spousal support and his attorney fees denied & Courtney got the court to consider my ex having to pay back my attorney fees for his dishonest behavior. Once the court validated the prenuptial agreement & determined that my ex lied in order to benefit himself the court allowed me to submit a request for my attorney fees to be paid by my ex because of his conduct. Once that happened, we were able to come to an quick agreement. Courtney’s communication with me, the court & even an extremely unreasonable respondent was nothing but professional & she always focused on the end result. Courtney is extremely knowledgeable in family law, she was prepared for all deadlines and always available when I had questions.

Courtney is great to work with. Her caring nature, knowledge and ability to navigate the, all too fun, family law process was invaluable. She is a trusted resource for myself, my friends and family.
Thanks Courtney for all you do and for being a great resource!

Professional, Knowledgeable and Caring!

It was absolutely a pleasure working with Courtney Schneider. She went above and beyond to help with my needs! Thank you for your support, service, professionalism and for guiding me through the legal process.
I would highly recommend her to anyone I know!
