Who We Are
Contact Divorce. Simplified. Today
Chris Schmiedeke
Owner & Attorney
I was born in Dallas and spent the majority of my life here. I moved to Denver in the middle of the first grade and moved back to Plano in the middle of the eleventh grade. I graduated from Plano Senior High in 1984 and then attended Richland College and the University of North Texas where a received a Bachelor of Business Administration. From there I attended the Texas Tech University School of Law and was licensed to practice law in May of 1993. Enough of the boring stuff. My real life revolves around my wife, Lisa, and two daughters, Anna and Olivia.
When we’re not carting them around to all their activities, we love to travel and see new places, usually in our travel trailer. In my spare time (when there is any) my real passion is racing bicycles. I race mountain bikes, road bikes and cyclocross. In addition to being fun, it is a great way to burn off stress.
Amanda Moore
Office Manager & Paralegal
I was born and raised in Michigan and moved to Dallas for the second time in 2016. Currently, I live in Virginia and work remotely for Chris.
In 2012, I enrolled at Collin County Community College, where I earned my Associate’s Degree and Certification in Paralegal Studies by 2014. After that, I returned to Grand Rapids, Michigan, and attended Grand Valley State University, graduating with a Bachelor’s Degree in Legal Studies in 2016.
I have been with Chris since March 2018, and I’ve worked as a Family Law Paralegal in Dallas since 2016.
My life centers around my daughter, Pyper, and my husband, Preston. We also have three energetic dogs: Scout, Blue, and Bear. Pyper is our top priority, and she runs the show! She loves being outdoors, so we spend a lot of time outside together.
In my free time, I enjoy going to the gym and working out, running, traveling, and, most importantly, camping and hiking with my family.
Shelly Campbell
Receptionist/Legal Assistant
I was born and raised in East Texas, shortly after turning 18, I started my traveling adventures. I lived in England for a while, but I eventually came back to the US where I lived in various states, including Ohio, Michigan, Missouri, Kentucky, and Maryland. I eventually found my way back to Dallas in 2007. I started my career as a floral designer at the age of thirteen and I worked in the industry for thirty-three years. During those years, I also joined the Army and attended college at the University of Phoenix for forensic psychology. My life has been quite an adventure! I left the floral industry in 2020 to pursue a new career in family law. I have been with Chris since January of 2021, and it has been one of the most rewarding moves I’ve ever encountered. In my off time, now that my 2 children are grown, I love to work out, spend time at White Rock Lake, hang out with friends, play pool, relax at home with my 2 kitties, Piccolo and Porsche, and experience amazing food, shows, and music around the metroplex.
Life’s too short not to celebrate all the world has to offer!
