Forever Grateful!

Pam worked with me across many years as a consultant during a very difficult and emotional divorce. She is a bright and savvy lawyer who was also very personable, and supportive when I needed it the most. Across the years, Pam was able to help me navigate and understand not only what my legal right...s were, but also those of my daughter. Additionally, I appreciated her honesty during some very difficult conversations. I would highly recommend Pam as an attorney or consultant, and will be forever grateful for all her support.

Amazing human

I will be forever grateful to Attorney Schaefer for getting me through one of the most difficult times in my life. She was both legal scholar in her knowledge and advice and also therapist to walk me through the emotional minefield of a divorce. She and her wonderful staff were there for me every ste...p of the way until the final resolution.

An amazing advocate

I felt hopeless until I met Pam. I went through a destructive divorce and experienced continued financial abuse and threats of contempt for the six years that followed. Pam brought new life to an old case. I was amazed when I saw her advocate for me in court. She was a true force with a strong voice.... A voice the court finally heard. Pam was an amazing advocate and through this, she gave me my life back. Watching Pam in court was so empowering. I feel less a victim and more a survivor today because of her. I can now close the door on one of the most painful and difficult times in my life. I'm so grateful to Pam and her A+ legal team for making that happen.

Dependable, Knowledgeable and Great at What She Does

I had more than one awesome experience working with Pamela - She assisted me start to finish on navigating the courts for a legal name change and ultimately I was able to get the result I wanted. She was also there for me when I needed some legal advice as well which was beyond anything I could have ...ever hoped for. I was able to take a case to small claims court on her advice.

Attorney Schaefer is the best and most competent

My Experience with Attorney Schaefer and her staff has been beyond excellent. I had a very tough case and was rejected by so many other lawyers. My ex husband is an attorney and they could see the number of people, including my attorney at the time, that he tried to sue. Therefore no one wanted to ta...ke my case and deal with him. Attorney Schaefer took my case in my toughest time of my life and did an amazing job. I’ll be forever grateful. She is extremely knowledgable and at the same time extremely compassionate. I trusted her work 100% and she put so much effort in my case. I am always thankful for her and recommend her to anyone who needs a real competent attorney. She cares and fights for you.
