Cynthia Schmidt

Cynthia Schmidt works on a contingency fee basis, meaning you pay nothing unless you win. If your case is successful, the attorney's fee is a percentage of your settlement or award — typically 15–25% in South Dakota. There are no upfront costs and no fees if you don't recover.

Cynthia Schmidt handles all types of workers' compensation cases in South Dakota, including Workplace Injuries, Medical Benefits, Lost Wages, denied claims, permanent disability ratings, and workers' comp appeals.
