Maria was always a Steady Eddie during the storms and confusion of my lawsuit!
I recommend Prince & Schmidt to the highest caliber. Incredible firm— caring, diligent, wildly intelligent lawyers and legal team. We used them for a case involving my mother. Going... read more into it, Mom and I were incredibly nervous about the legal system— how do you know who to trust? Jonathan and his team earned our trust fast: genuine care for Mom's health and our case; diligence and detail in their reports and statements; patience explaining the process and timelines every step of the way. They expertly coached us through depositions and in-person appearances, and their legal strategy was sharp-as-a-talon. We felt fully taken care of, start to finish. We can't thank Jonathan and his team enough.
Great Experience working with Maria , Heather and everyone else at Prince Nad Schmidt. I would highly recommend to anyone needing help after an accident.They were excellent.
Very helpful during this hard process.
After suffering a serious fall that resulted in a life changing injury, I knew I wanted an attorney who would not only fight for me but also genuinely had my... read more best interest at heart. From the time Jonathan Woods took my case, I felt like I was in good knowing hands. Someone who knew exactly what needed to be done and how to do it. His knowledge, expertise and professionalism was second to none. He kept me informed, answered my questions and worked tirelessly to achieve a successful settlement. I was so fortunate to also have Jonathan’s team, Heather, Amin and Roger, working as my team. They helped guide me through a difficult process. A process that is way beyond my understanding. While no outcome can undo what happened to me, I am so immensely grateful to have had Jonathan and his team representing me!! I highly recommend Jonathan Woods with Prince, Schmidt, Baca and Woods to anyone seeking competent, knowledgeable and professional representation.
My injury case was a really complex one, and most injury lawyers only want easy injury cases, and were not willing to fight on my behalf "Mythology🤓" There's God after all,... read more and THANK GOD for meeting Attorney Jonathan Woods, who helped resolve my complicated case with THE BEST RESULTS POSSIBLE🥳 I can't find words to express my Gratitude towards Attorney Jonathan Woods and his team; young upcoming Gun aka Attorney Amin Allam, and their assistant Heather Hine. I tried hard to find THE BEST representation, and God BLESSED ME with Attorney Woods' KINDNESS reflected in his utmost dedication, and his team players who INSIST that EXCELLENT RESULTS ARE ACHIEVED ROUTINELY FOR THEIR CLIENTS; persistence WAS FOUNDATIONAL to pretty much "dictate" what we believe reasonable to resolve the injury case. I HIGHLY RECOMMEND Prince, Schmidt, Baca, and Woods, if you got injured. They will review your case and let you know whether they'll be able to help fighting for you and if litigation in court is necessary, Attorneys' expertise make all the difference, so that your injury case "eventually" gets resolved with EXCELLENT RESULTS.
Amazing work super helpful

I would like to take a moment to express my sincere gratitude and appreciation for my attorney, Johnathan Woods, and the entire team at Prince Schmidt & Woods. After the serious... read more car collision I was involved in, my life changed in ways I could never have imagined. The years following the accident were filled with physical pain, medical procedures, emotional hardship, and uncertainty about the future. Throughout this difficult journey, Johnathan Woods has been more than just an attorney representing my case — he has been a compassionate advocate who truly took the time to understand what I have endured. From the beginning, Mr. Woods treated me with respect, patience, and genuine concern for my well-being. He listened carefully, explained every step of the legal process clearly, and always made sure that my voice and my experiences were heard. His professionalism, knowledge of the law, and dedication to fighting for his clients are truly remarkable. What stood out to me most was his compassion. It never felt like I was just another case file. He understood the long-term impact the collision had on my life and approached my case with the seriousness and care it deserved. I would also like to extend my sincere thanks to the incredible paralegals who assisted throughout the process — Katie, Dani, and Heather. Their support, organization, and constant communication helped make a very difficult situation much more manageable. Their kindness and professionalism never went unnoticed. Because of the experience I have had with Mr. Woods and his team, I strongly and confidently recommend him, as well as any attorney at Prince Schmidt & Woods, to anyone in need of skilled legal representation. Their dedication, integrity, and compassion truly set them apart. I am deeply grateful for everything they have done for me during one of the most difficult periods of my life. Respectfully, James Roybal

I had a situation with a landlord on Canyon Rd who had kept my deposit, despite a verbal agreement to break my lease early. My reason for doing so was... read more based on his inability to make the necessary repairs promised. And he had not even itemized the requisite forms, as is legal. Attorney Jonathan Woods at Prince, Schmidt, Korte, & Baca noticed this and, without having to go to court, brokered a settlement between myself and my former landlord that was reasonable and fair - and in a matter of weeks. I cannot recommend him and his firm highly enough and intend to retain Jonathan's services if any other legal matters come up in the future!
