Friedman & Ranzenhofer, PC - Batavia Lawyers - Batavia Chris Schellenberg: Rude, unhelpful, incompetent, overpriced, and flat out useless. Dont bother setting up an appointment if your not prepared to pay an outrageous consultation fee, followed by an inappropriate retainer fee. And probably an hourly rate that is way past their experience and expertise. Not to mention the fact theyll​ their your case in a heartbeat to protect their relationship with the DA, and judges and so forth..
