Fantastic
My case was dropped thanks to Mr Schefter - he took care of everything and had my dismissal paperwork for me by the end of the day. Best money I ever spent! Thank you, Mr. Schefter!

Excellent Representation
Robert went above and beyond all expectations I had from legal Consul. I did not have any concerns at any time during the process due to his and his teams speedy address and reconciliation of every bump in the road. My case was not straight forward and Mr. Schefter made the path painless and clear t...

I cant say "Highly recomended..." I will say the ONLY lawyer I recommend.
After meeting with several lawyers, including one that you see billboards scattered across central Pa. All told me my case was not winnable, I was very discouraged. I contacted Robert and met with him in his office, Robert listened to everything I had to say and assured me that all was going to be o...

Very disappointed!!!
Mr Schefter Jr. Led me to believe he was going to fight for me in court, only to find out that was not the case! I'm not going to bash Mr Schefter for what he led me to believe but I'm very, very upset I picked him for my case! I would be happy to tell my situation to anyone that really wants to hear...
One of the most important things in "fighting" for my clients is providing an honest, straight-forward evaluation of the case based on my 20 years of experience. What "Mex" fails to say is that I fought for him in court and had his DUI charge COMPLETELY DISMISSED prior to going to trial. However, "Mex" wanted more and wished to challenge an unrelated civil penalty associated with his case. I knew such a challenge was frivolous and advised "Mex" of this on several occasions. I also invited "Mex" to come to my office, free-of-charge, so I could show him the cases and explain the law further, but he declined and said that he understood. Now, well after the fact, and having never come in to see me about this matter, "Mex" posts this inaccurate negative review. I fight for my clients every single day, but I will not blow smoke and take a fee on a case that has zero chance of success. My clients deserve, and will always get, an honest expert opinion from me, even if it isn't always what they had hoped to hear; this is my duty.

Traffic accident
Mr. Schefter represented me in a traffic accident trial in which I pleaded not guilty. I was rear ended but was given a citation because the police officer & the driver that hit me said that I pulled out in front of the car that hit me. Thank goodness I had taken pictures of the scene & with Mr. Sche...
"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."
"After working with Mr. Schefter on a criminal matter, I know his competence in defending criminal and traffic charges. I don't hesitate to give his name as a referral for friends and family who need a lawyer in his area."
"I dealt with Attorney Schefter when I was a prosecutor and found him to be a skilled DUI defense attorney that I highly recommend."
"Bobby and I have known each other for many years and worked together in the DA's office. I do not handle criminal defense and whenever the need arises, I unhesitantly send any and all referrals of this type to Bob. He is aan excellent attorney."
