Highly recommended

I am deeply grateful for the exceptional work Mr. Schaaf did on my case. From the very first moments, he was fully engaged -immediately going to the scene to gather crucial evidences. His communication with me, officials and witness was always professional and effective. All motions and documents wer...e filed promptly and with great attention to detail. A negative outcome could have had serious consequences for my life, but thanks to his efforts, the case was resolved in my favor before it even reached a formal hearing. What truly sets Mr. Schaaf apart is not just his knowledge of the law, but his old-school eloquence, his respect for people, and his ability to see you not just as a client, but as a human being. He is polite, tactful, and persistent when necessary. I am incredibly thankful and feel fortunate to have chosen him to represent me.

Thanking You from my heart

I had gotten into trouble and was from out of town and did not know a soul. He was very explanatory and made sure I understood everything. He also cared about my rights and was on top of my medical needs. I’d recommend him to anyone ever in this area in need of legal help. God bless him because I don...’t know what would’ve happened without him.

It's a wonderful thing, not having to fight your Lawyer, to fight for you

We need more people like Gregg Schaaf in every profession. He is not tired out and unfeeling like many professionals. Most do not have a great opinion of lawyers, nor did I, until I met Mr. Schaaf. He is smart, sincere, and patient. His dedication shows in his long working hours which includes we...ekends. He genuinely cares about doing what he can for you and the outcome. He finds a way to translate your emotional sense of justice into the law. His only negative turns out to be a positive. And that negative is; He doesn't return phone calls when he says he will. But, you quickly become relieved when he does return your call and he shows that he did not slip your mind, but, had been addressing your case with sincere concern. So when he doesn't return your call right away again, you smile and say no need to worry, I know he is doing what he can. I couldn't figure out why I so sincerely like this lawyer past obvious reasons, but now I know, it's because he has no Ego. He is not judgmental, arrogant nor egotistical, so you feel very comfortable in revealing your ignorance of law lingo and asking him to translate. I felt immediately comfortable with asking any questions, and telling him exactly how I felt about my case. He was extraordinarily patient compare to other He involves his clients as he reviews and explored the case. I had a difficult situation with many facets and he addressed every single one of them to the best of his ability. I can't express enough the gratitude I had for someone having my back. In the end, he did deliver for me, and I was pleased. I was happy with the results, yet Mr. Schaaf was sincerely disappointed he did not get me more. This was solely due to the very bias Judge whom I dealt with before. Previously, I had another Lawyer on my case, of which was the complete opposite outcome; she was not the least bit concerned about my bummer outcome. I highly recommend Mr. Schaaf to all in need of a good lawyer.
