DWI case

This was such a stressful time in my life and Mack Schaffer made the process much easier. Luckily, I was given his number from someone else; he answered my first call and was not hesitant to take my case. Mack was thorough and kept me updated on any information I needed to know. I never felt like I w...as at a disadvantage or struggling to gather information while having him as my lawyer. I highly recommend him.

Best experience

I reached out to Mack after some false allegations. I was nervous and scared, but Mack put my mind at ease. Right off the bat, Mack saw I wasn't even charged correctly. Long story short. I made one trip to court and case was dismissed. I recommend Mack to anybody who was in my situation. Fast, ef...ficient, affordable, but most importantly results.

He's the one!

My husband was taken back to Houston Texas, from Omaha, Nebraska for violation of probation, as well as a ticket for a taillight that was out.He wasn't even a resident, when the incident took place,long story short. (Yes he had a lawyer when sentenced, go figure.) A Felony, a few quotes of $5000 and ...more, a husband 900 miles away from home, lead me to Mr. Schaffer. Thankfully. Because from that moment he represented my husband, he had my husband home within 48 hours. He worked with our financial situation. He immediately went in person to talk to my husband about his case and the next action. When my husband was released he offered to make sure he made it to bus station. My husband had no I.D. when he left, we did not know he would be taken out of state, when they said a "warrant" in TX. He's also followed up on us from time to time. Consider no other. His service is EXCEPTIONAL. And he speaks english not legalese when explaining your options, without the "hustle". You know what I mean.

Highly Recommend

Mack did a great job for my case. He was extremely detailed in every aspect of the case from start to finish. He gave solid advise and went out of his way for my specific case. He was always early for everything that we did. My specific case was in a county that Mack did not always practice in but st...ill took my case and worked hard for me. I would highly recommend Mack.

Great experience and friendly service!

Mack Shaffer was a great attorney. I hired him for a misdemeanor case. He replied to all emails and text messages very quickly. Explained everything about my case down to the dot. I was very young when I first needed his assistance so I am glad he was very helpful and made the process as easy as poss...ible.
