Exceptional Professional

Upon learning that my son faced felony charges I knew he speedily needed legal help. I immediately went searching for an attorney via the internet. My criteria were expertise and experience in handling felony charges. Mr. Gregg Schaaf met these criteria so I contacted him via the phone. He was very... compassionate, courteous and professional and within minutes he emailed me the nature of the charges. He also went to the courthouse and obtained excerpts from more than one court jacket which he scanned and forwarded to me via email. This level of effort, and professional kindness, independent of compensation, is a rare thing in today's world. I was moved by his kindness and willingness to do this. The information he provided helped me to have a meaningful discussion with my son about his current circumstances. Ultimately without first talking with Mr. Schaaf, my son indicated he was most comfortable staying with the attorney who had helped him on a previous matter. Mr. Schaaf gave me a positive review of my son's former attorney, and wished my son well. Mr. Schaaf appeared to be a fully competent professional, and is a straight shooter and I would not hesitate to recommend others to consult with him if they or their loved ones are faced with criminal charges in Western Maryland.

Honest and Professional

I had never had an encounter with the law until a neighbor filed criminal charges against me. My husband went online and found a local attorney, Mr. Gregg Schaff, Esquire, who had impeccible credentials. We immediately hired Mr. Gregg Schaff, Esquire. He recorded the facts, then skillfully and profe...ssionally talked me through the process and gave me very honest opinions about my situation. We went to court and through Mr. Gregg Schaaf's preparation and persistence, the false claims were dropped and I walked out of the courtroom a free woman. Some situations in life require we delegate the handling of a situation to a trustworthly representative. Mr. Gregg Schaff, Attorney at Law was mine.

Able to get charge dropped on short notice

I found attorney Gregg Schaaf through the internet, as I live in Florida and was ordered to appear in Cumberland, Maryland on short notice. With one exception, Gregg’s reviews were excellent, and I’m glad I went with him. Gregg was forthright, responsive, and effective. He quickly responded to my ...emails (even on Sunday night at the start of Thanksgiving week) and was able to get my charge dropped without me having to travel to Maryland. I also appreciated that Gregg is personable and exhibits a sense of humor.

Great Attorney

Mr. Schaaf has represented me on 3 separate occasions. The most recent was a criminal offense stemming from an assault charge. I was found not guilty and am now eligible to have the charge expunged. I might add, the 2 times prior to this particular case, the outcomes also resulted in my favor. Mr,... Schaaf demonstrates an attitude of responsiveness versus a reactive stance. With regards to all 3 cases, his expertise, knowledge and experience came shining through. Before, after and during our court appearances he demonstrated professionalism, accuracy and skill. I don't mind saying, he is an empathetic human being. He appreciated my call of distress with a quick response and was extremely reassuring. He conducts himself always, with a positive, caring attitude throughout. Having said that, Mr. Schaaf is assertive, he doesn't pull any punches. He gets results fast, without wearing boxing gloves. I was extremely impressed with his ability to engage opposing attorney's and judges. It is obvious to me that he is respected among his peers and colleagues. He is honest and doesn't need to jump through hoops to obtain the results necessary for a favorable outcome. I am truly grateful for his time, effort, and genuine interest. I could continue to write, but I would not be able to articulate everything in a few short paragraphs. Bottom line, if you are looking for an attorney with a strong back bone, who is willing to go the distance; please consult Mr. Schaaf. You won't be disappointed. I will recommend him to my closest friends, and family without an ounce of hesitation.
