I pride myself on delivering the highest level of client service possible. All clients have my cell phone number and can call, text, or email me to get a hold of me. Too many times I hear stories about how clients can never reach their attorney and have no idea what's going on with their case; this is unacceptable.
When selecting an attorney, consider not only experience in handling DUIs, but also experience in the specific county where you were charged.
I have focused my practice on DUI law and litigation based in York and Adams Counties for my entire career. I understand that, when clients reach out to me, they are in a difficult situation and need someone to talk to, explain the law and the process in clear terms, and take the time to answer all of their questions. I am here for my clients and guide them through the process with skill and efficiency. Whether it's a pretrial resolution or a trial, I will attack the case with the best effort that you deserve for your hard-earned money.

Caring, knowledgeable
I have never been in trouble before this was my first time! I was so nervous and anxious before speaking with attorney Schefter! He assured me that everything was going to be fine and he would be there through the whole process! He did just that, and made the process so easy! I would absolutely recommend him to anyone that needs a good, knowledgeable and caring attorney!

Highly recommend Attorney!
When I was looking for a attorney for my second DUI case I picked Attorney Robert Schefter based on his great reviews. I am so glad I did. Robert was honest from the start with what would probably happen in court with my DUI Case which I very much appreciated and he was right! He thoroughly went over every single thing through the whole process so I knew what was happening especially before we went in the court room for my Sentencing.He also answered all my questions and called me back so that helped Through the whole process.Robert Schefter seemed very knowledgeable and Organized about DUI cases. Robert also seemed to really care for me as a person and seemed to bring up any concerns I had in court to the judge if he thought it was Necessary! Mr. Schefter Secretary Josie was always so sweet and always had him get back to me with any concerns. I would highly Recommend him to anyone close to me. Thanks Attorney Robert Schefter for making my Second DUI sentencing so much better then my first and keeping me out of jail and being By my side through the whole process. Robert Schefter truly is an Exceptional attorney!

Professional, Sincere, Honest, Reliable, Available, Experienced, Resourceful, and Genuine service.
Robert met my expectations and then exceeded them. His excellent knowledge of my DUI situation and his ability to keep me informed of my options, with their potential consequences, aloud for the best result to come to fruition. I was never in a state of worry due to his ability to be available when I needed him. His firm was the first to contact me and I am so glad that I chose not look any further. Rest assured you will be in good hands. Thank you Robert Schefter.

Quick responses to questions
I've never had legal troubles before and so getting a DUI was a but terrifying. The waiting and worrying made it even worse. Robert kept in touch and answered my questions very quickly. This eased my mind. He explained the process and what to expect and walked me through it all. Much appreciated.

Robert Schefter Comes Highly Recommended!
Recently, I had an unfortunate situation arise that brought about the need for a good defense attorney. Robert Schefter was referred to me by two different, well respected, attorneys.
My case came about when an individual made false accusations against me and contacted the local police department claiming that I had attacked him during a relatively brief but stressful interaction. Fortunately, there was a security video recording proving that the allegations were false. Although, Mr. Schefter gave the other party and his attorney the opportunity to withdraw their claim, they chose to move forward.
Robert Schefter utilized a superior defense strategy that laid the groundwork for the other individual to, figuratively, hang himself during his statement. Mr. Schefter proved that the individual had filed a false police report and, subsequently, committed perjury during the hearing. Needless to say, the case was dismissed. I was extremely pleased with the outcome and the service that I received...especially for a trivial legal situation that had occurred during the COVID restrictions!
Although my case was a ‘nothing-burger’ in my opinion, I never felt like I was treated any less important than someone with more serious legal issues. I HIGHLY RECOMMEND Robert Schefter and his legal team/staff! I will be forever grateful to him and everyone at his office who assisted me during this legal journey.

"Having known Robert and worked with him for many years, I can attest that he is one of the best attorneys I know. He offers years of experience, both as a former prosecutor, former in house counsel for a local construction company, and as an attorney who regularly appears before the York County courts. He offers excellent advice, and I trust his counsel implicitly."
