This review is from a person who hired this attorney.

attorney left clirnt w/o notice

Title says it all. I called this attorney after a proceeding. He said that he was at the office Christmas party and would get back to me. I kept leaving messages for 1 1/2 YEARS. His assistant then told me Schaffer left the practice!!! Where did my many messages end up? My case files, I was lat...er told 5 MONTHS after the 1 1/2 year shocker, went to the Basement. Here I am over 5 years after that Christmas office party call with an open case. I 've left pleading messages with assistant (who worked w/for over 25 years) to have him contact me. NADA. If a doctor did this? My case was assigned (? when 2012,2013,2014), to a new law grad who got his DC license in 2013. No one at the firm or Mark Schaffer wil tell me when the case was transfered, or what options I had even though Schaffer got paid ,then disappeared without finishing the job. This is a truly sad reflection of how a person can walk away after getting paid before a job is completed. To live into the 60's and not care whose lives you destroy. SHAME on you.

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.
