Zachary Richter Shafer

Zachary and his father were a blessing from God. In 2016, my wife was referred to them from a family member after I received a DUI. She called overnight and Zachary was actually present at my first hearing. At this time he was able to get much needed leniency in regards to my case from the judge a...nd I was allowed to be released on my own recognizance. Zachary and his father were always very upfront with me and explained everything down to every little detail. In addition, they were real with me and spoke to me as if I were a family member instead of as a client. Unfortunately, I have had to hire them again after receiving another DUI and just as upfront as they were the first time they were just as amazing during this last ordeal. I was very skeptical and thought that I would be looked down upon for the things that I had done but at no time did they make me feel less than a person for my very stupid decisions. If you are looking for a wonderful team of attorneys please do not hesitate to call the team at Shafer and Associates. You will not be disappointed.

Zachary Shafer, as well as the entire Shafer firm, are incredibly professional but yet, were fun to work with. Zach had a way of keeping things very real with me but delivering them in a humorous way & making me so comfortable with him that I trusted Zach entirely. I have so much confidence in him as... a lawyer that I hired him immediately with both of my cases. In 2015 I got arrested for domestic battery & with the help of Zach & his father Robert, the charge was reduced to fighting & I had to pay the court only 98 dollars. Recently in 2018, I was charged & arrested for the same offense against the same person. Zach was able to get the second case completely dropped & I had to pay the court nothing, which is AMAZING because of the fact that the second offense against the same person would most likely get you jail time or probation/anger management. Zach & the rest of the Shafer firm can always be counted on, trusted & they will work with you on price. I heard about this firm in 2015 when I was scared & looking for a lawyer to help me with my first case ever & I've maintained a relationship with them till now & will continue to refer them to friends or family that are seeking help. I have always respected Zach & his way of handling situations & his honesty. It's been a pleasure to see him grow over the years into such an amazing lawyer. Most firms are all serious & pretty intimidating but this firm is full of relatable lawyers as well as receptionists. They talk to you as if they're really trying to get to know you & your case, not just take your money. Writing this review was the least I could do to repay him for making my life now stress free. If you're seeking a criminal defense attorney, Robert Shafer & Associates is where you should go!

Zachary Shafer was very knowledgeable concerning the law and made me feel comfortable regarding my case from the consultation to going before the judge. He gave me hope when I was feeling hopeless and he did exactly what he said he could do. I highly recommend him and it would be criminal not to hi...re him for your defense. If I am ever in need of a Criminal Defense Attorney again, this is my guy!! Zachary expertise is worth so much more than I had to spend. This was money well spent!

Zachary is very personable, approachable and has a good relationship with the court as well as a strong professional network with other attorneys in the practice. This is a plus if you are dealing with drug charges like mine. He is a bull dog when confronting non-reasonable people. Zachary is no push... over, he pushes back. There were periods where I thought Zachary was putting his career on the line for me as he powerfully and passionately spoke up to the Court. Zachary later told me that he did it because he felt that it was the right thing to do. He had to let the court know the truth no matter what. I was touched. Zachary has been a dedicated counsel and friend. I feel bad that I am eating into his personal time, but he constantly assures me that it’s okay, and he’s always available. Thank you so very much Zachary for everything you have done for me!
