Mr. Schaffer is one of the best attorneys I have ever heard of and I had the pleasure of working with him on a case that seemed hopeless for my dear son.

It seems like when a person has been accused of a crime, and their freedom is in question, having the right attorney makes all the difference. Kent has extensive knowledge of criminal law and the appeals process. I have personally retained his firm previously, and I can not tell you how happy I am...
"Kent was co-counsel with many other lawyers and me in a 34 co-defendant federal criminal case in Seattle in 2005-2006. This was a complex, high stakes case involving three separate indictments and over 30 counts, some of them alleging RICO violations. Kent’s calm presence and reassuring nature was evident from the first time I met him. He became a leader as the group of attorneys worked out a common strategy. He is a proud Texan who wore his boots to court and kicked but. Eventually Kent’s client walked with only a light slap on the wrist."
