IN GREAT HANDS
I hired Lewis Shafer to handle various issues over the past few years. I continue to feel that I am in great hands as he has always resolved my issues favorably. Hopefully I won't need his services in the future but if I do, he's the man!

Dedicated!
I hired Lewis for my first and second divorces. He did a great job on both and was always there to answer my questions and give me advice. I recommend him and his firm.

Exactly what i needed
I hired Lewis after having another lawyer. Lewis was strong enough to protect me against my ex husband but practical enough to get the situation settled before it escalated.

Efficient
I hired Lewis several times to handle legal matters for me after my initial divorce. He explained everything to me from the beginning to the resolution. He was direct and efficient with the projects. I have hired lawyers in the past for my divorce and business, but he was simply the best.
