Calm and cool

Jeff was able to keep his cool when I got emotional dealing with my case. Bankruptcy after divorce would never happen to me - NOT. Jeff was very professional and even-keeled, walked me through the process, and was supportive at the trustee meeting. I would hire him again for other services.

Hit the reset button my my life

I simply can’t say enough good things about this guy. I put off calling him for the longest time, until a friend of mine, who had worked with his as well, finally gave me the push I needed. He was extremely compassionate and helpful, and made the whole process surprisingly smooth. On the day of the h...earing I was fully prepared, all my ducks were in a row and I left with a massive burden lifted from my shoulders. My life is on a completely different course now. My only regret is that I didn’t call him sooner.

Attentive with your interest foremost

Attorney Shafto has represented me several times for landlord/tenant issues and has provided invaluable assistance in the best and most logical and reasonable results. He is a pleasure to work with and easy to communicate with. I have peace of mind knowing that should I need representation in the fut...ure, I can consult with him and feel confident in his recommendations and expertise.

An excellent attorney

Mr. Shafto helped my business successfully fight unsupported accusations made and posted online by the State of Maine. Through his efforts our record been cleared and the erroneous information taken off the states website. Mr. Shafto has been responsive while being sensitive to the needs of my bus...iness. I would recommend Mr. Shafto for his thoroughness and attention to detail.

Avvo Rating

Our Rating is calculated using information the lawyer has included on their profile in addition to the information we collect from state bar associations and other organizations that license legal professionals. Attorneys who claim their profiles and provide Avvo with more information tend to have a higher rating than those who do not.

What determines Avvo Rating?
  • Experience & background Years licensed, work experience, education
  • Legal community recognition Peer endorsements, associations, awards
  • Legal thought leadership Publications, speaking engagements
  • Discipline Disciplinary information may not be comprehensive, or updated. We recommend that you always check a lawyer's disciplinary status with their respective state bar association before hiring them.
