This review is from a person who hired this attorney.

Very professional.

Ms. Schafer completed my Dad's estate with no problems even though my Dad lived in Mahoning County. We forgot an account & she added that & coordinated with other attorneys. She's pleasant and honest. I expected her fees to be higher.

does not return calls !

Victoria did my will, as well as my brothers and parents. Seemed very reliable at the time. However in the past 4 or so years, I have called with different questions and even after the death of my father this year, ABSOLUTELY NO RETURN CALLS ! Even went to her office a few weeks ago to see if she was... still there, walked in and waited- then even walked through the office saying "hello, hello ?" No one seemed to be there so I left. Now I have to find a new attorney. Very, very discouraging !!

When representing an Executor or Trustee, only the Executor or Trustee is a client of the firm. Ethics do not allow an attorney to talk to beneficiaries. They must hire their own attorney if they wish to be represented. Very discouraging that beneficiaries can not read the notice sent to them by the Executor or Trustee at the onset of the case.

NEVER USE THIS WOMAN EVERRRRRR

First of all I heard her on the radio also and liked her very much. Big big mistake. She IS AWFUL AND NEVER RETURNS PHONE CALLS JUST AWFUL. I TRIED TO TALK TO HER ABOUT MY CASE AND SHE WAS VERY SNIPPY TO ME. I AM TRULY SORRY I EVER EVER HIRED THE WOMAN. ITS LIKE PULLING TEETH TO GET ANYTHING DONE W...ITH THIS WOMAN. SHE NEEDS TO RETIRE

Calling my firm and seeking fee legal advise does NOT make you a client of my firm. You MUST make an appointment, come in, discuss case and Attorney Schafer must accept you as a client and you must pay her. Asking for free advise of any professional like your doctor, accountqant or your lawyer does not make you a client. When you refuse to make an appointment and come in you will not receive a call from anyone in my firm. You must pay the professional before you can say you hired her.

Very Knowledgeable

She made the entire process of My Will, Power of Attorney, and Living Will easy. The documents were in a binder and tabbed. Her prices are very reasonable.

check out your lawyer first.

Very sorry I ever heard her on the radio. And more sorry I hired her. She has cost me thousands and thousands of money because she failed to deduct taxes from the 3 of us who received money from my mom's estate, so only I am responsible for all of this tax debt. I told her many times, not to distri...bute funds until everything was paid because I knew my sibs would never give money back. It has been a terrible experience.

Following your lawyer's advise will most likely lead to a successful administration of a will or trust. When you refuse to follow the attorneys advise, any consequences of your actions are a result of your decisions.
