Juvenile and criminal

He had both cases thrown before ever having to go to court. Everything dismissed. Did my cases for a set price. If you want a lawyer you can trust he is the one to go to. Recommend for long term business.

...and it's just begun.

Mr. Schaefer has, as previously reported in these reviews, been an excellent attorney. I'm more than gracious for his over the phone consultation, and for the added benefit of his personal iniative. He has already exceeded expectation in my personal opinion, and it goes without saying that that is pa...rticularly difficult in his chosen profession. We are indebted to you, Mr. Schaefer, keep up the Outstanding (albeit Astounding) work! ---Tracy

Open, informed and practical.

The initial interview went very well. It was what I had hoped for. Someone who would not fill me with false hopes. He placed an open, honest reality, giving me the realistic possibilities of how this could end. I like and appreciate that type of honesty. I look forward to seeing how our experience pr...ogresses.

We love Nik!

Great lawyer. He knows what he is doing & will definitely fight for his client! We've been to court a couple times & he's never disappointed me. I have recommended him to a few close friends and will continue to do so! He also has a personality and not many lawyers do!! He keeps in contact like he is... supposed to do. Like I said he doesn't disappoint. I'll rehire him every time if need be.

Avvo Rating

Our Rating is calculated using information the lawyer has included on their profile in addition to the information we collect from state bar associations and other organizations that license legal professionals. Attorneys who claim their profiles and provide Avvo with more information tend to have a higher rating than those who do not.

What determines Avvo Rating?
  • Experience & background Years licensed, work experience, education
  • Legal community recognition Peer endorsements, associations, awards
  • Legal thought leadership Publications, speaking engagements
  • Discipline Disciplinary information may not be comprehensive, or updated. We recommend that you always check a lawyer's disciplinary status with their respective state bar association before hiring them.
