As featured in Missouri Lawyers Weekly:
Fellow attorneys and judges trust Michael Schechter as a forthright, honest attorney with extensive knowledge of family law. He has prosecuted and defended over 60 appeals throughout his career, and colleagues frequently consult him for opinions on family law issues.
Schechter’s most memorable case, Fierstein v. DePaul Health Center, resulted in his client receiving damages for improper release of medical records and established the Missouri practice of obtaining consents from opposing counsel when subpoenaing records in depositions. This case created lasting procedural changes in how medical records are handled in family law matters.
Schechter anticipates that technological changes, particularly artificial intelligence, will significantly impact how attorneys and clients approach family law practice in the coming year.
