I would highly recommend Mr. Shaeffer

I randomly picked Mr Shaeffer and called to ask for advice. He spent almost an hour on the phone with me, explained things so I could understand them, and did not charge me a thing. I ended up hiring Mr Shaeffer and he did a wonderful job of helping my son. I would highly recommend him to anyone.

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!

Straight shooter and very professional

Mr Shaeffer was up front from the beginning, and I respected that. He told me they have a solid case against me. He is a very out of the box thinker, and very organized. He told me the sad reality of what could potentially be the outcome of my case, and it was dim. However he asked me what i wanted ...and was creative enough to deliver at an extremely affordable price . He has the knowledge to defend you, and the experience to win. I'm very happy with how he handled my case. His office is also only blocks away from the court house and he is always prompt. I don't usually write reviews, but Mr. Tylden Shaeffer deserves to be recognized.

Highly Recommend

Tylden is a fantastic attorney. He thoroughly prepared for my case and did an amazing job of relating to the judge and jury. I highly recommend Tylden.

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.
