Stellar Liability Defense Attorney

Mr. Shafer is extremely knowledgeable in the law and in the practicalities of handling insured cases. He was the house defense counsel for our carrier when he handled two serious auto cases for us, and brought them both to good settlements without having to go to trial. We changed carriers and I to...ld him how sorry I was to lose him as a defense attorney in WI. I am so glad that he went into private practice and I requested that he be added to the approved attorney panel of my current TPA and carrier, although we have not yet had a case for him.

Excellent Service!

In a world of overpromising, underdelivering lawyers, Mr. Shafer is a breath of fresh air. Mr. Shafer has the technical competencies to deliver when you need it most - and does it all without breaking the bank. It's nice to know I can find excellent legal counsel in Wisconsin when I need it.

Quentin is great!

I have worked with Quentin for a number of years both as an employee of our mutual company as well as an outside firm. Quentin is responsive and knows the law and how is can best protect his client's interest. This doesn't mean that he tells you what you want to hear, he tells you the trust. He is... a true partner in the defense of cases.

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.
