Approach to the law
Schrantz was quoted in the Benton County Daily Record:
| “ | I tend to talk in a common language to folks so they understand my decisions. They may not agree, but I want them to understand my decision. I know sometimes lawyers speak a different language, but we need to be able to break it down so everyone understands.[7] - Doug Schrantz[8] | ” |
