Oklahoma Bar Association; American Bar Association.

I attend continuing legal education courses offered by the Oklahoma Bar Association as well as the American Bar Association. I mainly attend the courses that pertain to estate planning, commercial law, family law, and business law.

I have seen several estate plans where one spouse is left administering the estate when the deceased spouse kept the finances. In other words, the surviving spouse has no idea what to do and that left him vulnerable to undue influence by family, friends and strangers. In one particular case, both spouses agreed that the wife was quite uncomfortable having the responsibility of administration if the husband were to die first. To avoid this problem, we left the husband in control if the wife were to predecease, but left the eldest son with the responsibility of administration if the husband died first. Although anything can happen, the couple was quite confident that their son would behave appropriately and not try to take advantage of his mother. Further, we took away the wife's ability to revoke or alter the personal trust if the husband were to die first, to make it harder for someone to pressure the wife into taking money or property from the trust and using that property for their interest and not the interest of the wife.

In another case, I helped a client decide between a limited liability company, a regular "C" corporation and a sole proprietorship. After discussing with the client exactly what she wanted to do and what her goals were, I recommended a limited liability company to give her the flexibility of a sole proprietorship, but with the protection of limited liability that comes with a regular "C" corporation without the hassle of double taxation and issuing stock.

Again, our focus is providing you, the client, with convenient, high quality legal services at affordable prices.

I established Schneiter Law, PLLC in January of 2009 when I saw an unmet need in Oklahoma for high quality legal services offered over the internet at affordable prices. To date, the firm has helped many clients achieve their small business and estate planning goals. We are one of the few pioneering law firms offering our services completely online and one of the first in Oklahoma.

I have recently been hired by the Price College of Business at the University of Oklahoma as an adjunct professor teaching commercial law to energy management undergraduates and masters of accounting graduate students. I have worked for the West Law Firm in Shawnee since November of 2008 helping clients on a variety of legal issues particularly in the areas of estate planning, probate, commercial law, and personal injury. I have worked in the Equity Research division of Jefferies & Co. in New York City. And for 3 years, I worked in operations management for several banks in both Shawnee and Norman.

I have been actively involved with the IRS's Volunteer Income Tax Assistance program for the past three years in Norman, OK at the Norman Public Library.

As a virtual law firm, Schneiter Law, PLLC does not have regular office hours. Clients have access to the virtual law office 24 hours a day, 7 days a week. Although our website is open 24/7, we do not typically work between 11:00 p.m. and 7:00 a.m.
