Blake & Schanbacher Law

Blake & Schanbacher Law Customer Feedback Summary Attorney Blake is kind, empathetic, and consistent. He is a wealth of knowledge while remaining humble to those he serves. My experience with Blake & Schanbacher Law has been extremely harmful, and I want to caution anyone considering working with this firm when it comes to divorce/separation. Improper Service and Misrepresentation: I was never properly served with a divorce complaint, yet the attorneys at this firm continued to treat me as though I was. I asked repeatedly for clarification and received none. Instead, they maintained correspondence as if there was an active case, which only caused confusion and unnecessary expense. Disrespectful Communication: I asked numerous times to be addressed correctly as Mrs., but in emails they continued to refer to me as Ms. This may seem small, but when someone repeatedly ignores your requests for respect, it feels dehumanizing. Which was intentional on their part. Withholding of Property: After I was forced to leave the marital home on March 9, 2025, my property was withheld until the first week of August 2025. During that time, I was told to pick up "a key" to a storage unit, even though my husband had not placed anything there until June. They could have mailed the key since I was living out of state, but they never asked for my address or offered that option. Their repeated emails urging me to collect the key — knowing full well there was no property places inside the unit by my husband until June— felt like deliberate delay and psychological pressure. Professional Responsibility Ignored: I understand that attorneys are not responsible for their clients’ personal choices. But attorneys are officers of the court, and they should not enable behavior that withholds property or violates the law. In my case, they seemed more interested in delay and intimidation than fairness or resolution. Personal Impact: Because of their tactics and misrepresentations, I even missed my graduate school graduation ceremony as a first-generation immigrant, a milestone that can never be replaced. Especially, since I graduated from a field in which will assist in many lives being saved. The ongoing lack of response to my legitimate questions and concerns only deepened the harm. Conclusion: I expected this firm to act professionally and lawfully. Instead, my experience was one of with various types of intimidation, disrespect, and alienation. I cannot recommend this law firm under any circumstances to someone seeking fair or ethical representation in York County.
