of the case. My team makes the extra effort to assist the client through all phases. Further, we strive to avoid any loose ends so that six months after the case is closed the client is not receiving phone calls from a collection agency looking for payment on an unpaid medical bill. Those are things we really thrive on.”
Schuler’s team approach and commitment to excellent service have created long-term client loyalty. Recently the office received calls from four previous clients within a week. “In each instance the client called for help with a matter entirely different from the original engagement. Our focus involves some very competitive practice areas and it’s always nice to receive those calls from previous clients. I want to believe that means we’re doing something right,” Schuler says.
Schuler receives referrals from current clients as well as from other attorneys. “A good number of our clients are referred by attorneys with whom I have worked over the past twenty years,” he adds. Schuler is a member of the Million Dollar Advocates Forum (reserved for attorneys who have achieved verdicts or settlements in excess of one million dollars).
Schuler promotes a family-focused atmosphere at the office. Each em- ployee is married with young children and among the three families there are nine children under the age of thirteen. The office sponsors at least one family-oriented event each year. “We work hard during the week so we can enjoy time with our families on the weekends,” says Gooch.
Feeling Fortunate
Schuler and his wife, Meg, have been married for 13 years and they have two girls and two boys who all attend school in Louisville.
He enjoys coaching his kids’ T-ball, baseball and soccer teams and Schuler sits on the board at Saint Agnes School where his kids attend.
Schuler is active in sports as a distance runner who has run races up to the marathon level. In 2000, he and several fellow prosecutors trained for and ran the Boston Marathon. Currently, he participates with other at- torneys in an early morning “boot camp” work-out a few days each week. Schuler enjoys an active outdoor life with his family, too, visiting local parks and spending time at area lakes.
The family supports St. Vincent DePaul, which administers to people who need food or a place to live. Schuler’s family has worked in the din- ing hall and kitchen there.
He believes his good fortune in his family life is a reflection of the hard work and good fortune found in his professional life.
Schuler says, “I am blessed to work as an attorney, operate my own law practice and earn a living helping other people. I owe all I have to my parents, my wife and the countless lawyers and mentors I’ve learned from over the years. I’ve been very fortunate for the opportunities to work with talented lawyers who are also fine people. I think about that a lot as I get through my week.”
