My name is "Daisy Star." I am a ruff-ceptionist here at Schrom, Shaffer & Botel. My litter-mate sister is "Penny Bryne." We are golden retrievers. We are two years old. We come to the office most days with our dad, Gerard. He cares for us really well, gives us treats, and takes us to the park before we come to work.
If you've been charged with a crime, you are under serious threat. Contact a Philadelphia criminal defense lawyer you can trust today to protect your rights and freedoms. If you're like many people who have been charged with a crime, you likely don't know what to do or who to turn to. Should you talk to the police?
The Commonwealth of Pennsylvania is a "3 Strikes" law state. Facing a third felony conviction is serious and requires the advice of a seasoned 3 strikes lawyer located in Philadelphia. The 3 strikes law is considered the harshest sentencing law in the U.S., apart from non-capital sentencing. For a third felony conviction, if the defendant has two previous "serious" felony convictions, a life sentence is mandatory.

Mr. Schrom and his staff are great people. They helped my family and I through a very long and tiresome case, but throughout the whole ordeal they never wavered and they never stopped fighting. They will work with you for as long as it takes until your case is won, which is what they did for me. I am very grateful to them, and highly recommend them to everyone.

I would STRONGLY recommend any and everybody to acquire the services of Schrom and Shaffer, P.C. Not only were they extremely professional, they are considerate towards family & friends in regards to the emotional turmoil of my case. The level of caring goes beyond professional courtesy, and really speaks towards the culture of family & friendship that they display as a law firm. This culture is one of loyalty and dedication to fight for you, as any loved one or friend would do for you. Amazing. I'm so grateful for their service and where I am now because of them.

My son was only 13 at the time Gerard took our case. Gerard never made my son feel as though he was not a part of the conversation, he treated us with dignity and respect. The amount of time and attention to every detail was truly appreciated. I never had to wait very long for a return phone call or e-mail. Demi, Gerard's assistant was such a pleasure to work with. My son loved visiting the office when Gerard's dogs were there, so did I actually :) I can't say enough about this AWESOME team!
