Do NOT hire David Shaffer!

If I could give ZERO stars, I would! Terribly unorganized attorney and firm to where his ENTIRE staff quit in under a year. It cost me 30K for him to back out of my case at the last minute before a federal judge. He cited health reasons, but continues to practice law?! I had to start all over again 3...0K in the hole! This man should NOT have a law license!

Do NOT hire this attorney

I regret hiring David Shaffer for my discrimination case. As a legally blind attorney per his website, I thought he'd know how to win a disability case. He was asleep during depositions. Constantly forgetting meetings and facts in my case. Do NOT hire this lawyer.

Cares about money than the disabled community

I was going to hire Kelley and David, but they would not answer basic questions anyone would have prior to retaining an attorney. Kelley says she is an advocate for the disabled community, but not unless there’s something in it for her. I would not recommend.

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.
