Early Termination of Probation

I hired Mr. Shaeffer for my case to get me off of deferred adjudication early and that is just what he did after about 3 other lawyers told me it would be a task. Mr Shaeffer did let me know the time frame it took and got it done in even less than that. He followed up with me often and gave me update...s. I would strongly recommend Mr. Shaeffer to the next person in need of legal representation. It was an amazing experience! Thank You!

I highly recommend Tylden Shaeffer!

When I got charged with my DWI I already expected to go through a long, painful process from the beginning. But, Mr. Shaeffer and his staff made my whole experience quick and easy with their great communication and professionalism. He was always straight forward and I could tell he had my best intere...st in mind. He made sure I didn't get charged with "extreme intoxication", while also reducing my fines and the length of my probation. I highly recommend him to anyone!

The Best!

I was represented by Mr. Shaeffer years ago (2004). He would travel from San Antonio all the way to Del Rio to represent me. My father and I were accused of wrong doing by federal agents and we had done nothing. We, my father and I were on trial simultaneously. We had hired an attorney and found out... later he was friends with the prosecutor and wanted us to accept a plea bargain. "We did nothing wrong", I cried to him. He insisted that we accept due to it being impossible to beat the Government. My father and I were close to giving up when we met Mr. Shaeffer. Mr. Shaeffer believed in us and fought for us. Because of him, I never saw prison walls nor was I ever away from my family. It was one of the most difficult times in my life, but thankfully we met a Godsend attorney and justice prevailed.

Would recommend to anyone!

Tylden got my felony reduced to a misdemeanor. He saved my life. I didn't have to pester him for information and updates about my case and his staff is well informed and helpful. He personally attended each and every one of my hearings and was just as concerned about restoring my reputation as I was.... He recently got a motion for non-disclosure filed and approved by the judge so I will never have to admit this mistake ever happened. I would recommend Tylden to anyone! He is a highly intelligent and competent attorney.

Teacher Wrongfully Accussed

When you have been wrongfully accused of having an affair with a student, you must acquire legal counsel before you even speak to the police, even if you are the person who reports the rumors. Tylden Schaeffer advised me to not have a second interview with the police department and found time in his ...schedule to meet with me that day. After the meeting, I had a path to move forward on and that included a well written statement that Mr. Schaeffer crafted. After submitting this in lieu of a second interview with the police, there were no more problems with the school district or police department. Mr. Schaeffer did a superb job and had me resting more easily following our meetings. I would highly recommend Mr. Schaeffer to anyone in need of a Criminal Defense Attorney.
