Kevin M Schaeffer

Mr. Schaeffer came highly recommended to me, and I was very pleased with the service he provided, and the outcomes achieved. There were several times during the divorce process where I was extremely stressed, and he was able to put me at ease with his calm demeanor and confident reassurance that he ...had things under control. Cost was certainly a concern for me, but Mr. Schaeffer was very fair in his billing, offloaded non-critical tasks to lower-priced staff, and achieved a result that ultimately saved me time, heartache, and money. I have already recommended him to friends, and will continue to do so.

I have a lot of experience working with high quality attorneys in a commercial setting. Also I have worked with several attorneys over the years in relation to my divorce and subsequent proceedings mainly centered on child support but there were other issues. My experience with lawyers in the matri...monial setting was mixed. Kevin is the last attorney I worked with and the only one whom I strongly recommend, unlike others. He has been in practice for several decades and as a member of a significant Annapolis-based law firm, has access to attorneys in other practice areas if the need arises as it did in my case. He is highly professional, knowledgeable and experienced, responsive and effective, and willing to think outside of the box which is really saying something. Importantly, he is cost conscious and cares about delivering a cost-effective result, rather than some others who seemed overly eager to turn my money into theirs. Also, Kevin was an aggressive advocate for me in the court room and otherwise. Also, Importantly to me, he was empathetic, and expressed empathy while being very professional. Also, a situation arose that was quite awkward on a personal level, and he handled it not only well and gracefully, but without being judgmental which I appreciated. I only wish someone had referred me to him in the beginning. He came into the case at the very end with the obvious disadvantages of that and obtained the best result possible under the circumstances. I worked with him for a year and a half or so and would hire him again for personal work. I am a sophisticated client, and Kevin is the ONLY one of the family law attorneys that I dealt with whom I would recommend.

I did a lot of research before hiring Kevin Schaeffer to handle my separation and divorce. I interviewed several attorneys and found him to be upfront, very clear with alternative ways to proceed, and extremely professional. Kevin always returned my calls promptly and this was very important wh...ile going through my separation and divorce. He has excellent communication skills, and understands the importance of listening to his client. I have had alimony issues, years after the initial divorce, and Kevin has continued to represent me . While going through a divorce you are constantly second guessing yourself, it is so important to have the right attorney and I am glad I did.
