Client Testimonials


"Vivian at RewiSchaaf was excellent to deal with when I found myself in the position of needing legal support. Being totally unfamiliar with court procedures and legal jargon, she made me feel much less intimidated by it all with the way she broke it down and simplified everything. She made sure I was well prepared and was incredibly patient with all of my questions which were answered without any judgement. I can't thank RewiSchaaf enough for the way they supported me and gave me the confidence I needed!"
