Matt ,Laura ,and Carol are doing a great job ,after I got hurt in a bad accident on the tug boat I worked on They always reply to my calls and explain to me when I have questions about my case I would recommend them to anyone who has a Maritime Case

Matt is a World Class lawyer and the results in my case have allowed me to live in the same high standard I did when I was working. Matt traveled to California too many times to count and despite the flights and headache of travel, Matt always brought his A game. We faced repeated negotiation attempt...

Mr.Shaffer was very helpfull through my ordeal and I was very confident he was going to bring out the truth out about the accident of why and how I almost lost my life.
"If lawyers were asked to write a list of the top martime injury lawyers, Matt's name would almost certainly appear on every list. I have referred maritime injury cases to Matt and have been blown away by the results. Most importantly, my clients could not have been happier with the results. Matt has the perfect combination of legal, technical, and practical knowledge that is required to be successful on these types of cases."
"Matt Shaffer is honest, cares about his clients, is fair, treats his staff very well, and does an excellent job on all cases. He has good working relationships with the maritime community of lawyers and has gained their respect after his years of success in practice. He is a role model for the younger lawyers at the firm and is always available and accessible to clients and staff for any questios or concerns."
