International case that dragged on for so long until mr. David Schaffer at schaffer family law took over and put the whole case together it was not a straight forward case his dedication and professionalism combined with experience and a real sense that this lawyer actually cared resulted in a life changing result for me. I am forever grateful for what mr. Schaffer did for me. Highly recommended. True to his word from day one.

The first time I met this man I knew that my case will be settled in my favor. He actually cares about his clients and he has the best advice to give too. My case has not even started yet but I am already feeling victorious. I will recommend him to anyone who need a thorough and a professional legal representation.

My case was a very complicated one in which it required overseas communications, so to find a lawyer with the expertise and finesse that David posses is rare. I should say that I had previously ended with my previous representation abruptly when they were unable to move forward with the case due to lack of experience so I was incredibly stressed and concerned to find the right fit for me. I interviewed a number of lawyers and then I met David. He was warm and friendly when I met with him and made me realize that my case isn't just a paycheck for him unlike my previous representation. He sat down

My experience with Mr. Schaffer ,
Has been great .
There are times when a client has to be patient and let there attorney do there work .Again the process of family law court is not quick and swift .
It takes time and understanding that your attorney has other clients to take care of as well .
Schafffer ,has a great sense of humor he understands his clients and is straight forward with answering your questions and concerns .
In the courtroom he will fight for your rights.
Again my experience has been great having Schaffer as my legal counsel in family law .

Dear Schaffer Family Law, LTD:
I would like to take this opportunity to express to you David, and to the staff at Schaffer Family Law, my most heartfelt appreciation for not only your skill but your compassion throughout the termination of maintenance proceedings you successfully handed on my behalf. Saying “Thank You” seems so insufficient but I can find no words that truly express my feelings appropriately, so I will stick with those two simple words with the hope that you know the depth of emotion and gratitude they contain.
Sincerely,
Louis A Berns

David Schaffer is just like any other lawyer. We thought that perhaps his higher hourly rate was more than others because he "knows people." I know law can be very discretionary at times. Mr. Schaffer told us we had a "good chance" of winning, but had we known then what we know now, we never would have tried. We actually had no chance, we just didn't know what the case was fully about. Yes, that is our fault, but he made it seem like we should go through with our case. Big mistake...$18,000 big! He never fully seemed prepared. I don't have much experience with
