Outstanding lawyer. Honest and focused

George assisted is representing my family member in a capital offense. He was honest and always told us what to expect. His k owledge of the legal system , local authorities and media helped us through some very difficult times. He was able to work what we thought were legal impossibility to get our ...loved one released on bail, charges reduced and without a doubt get our loved one's life back. I would, without hesitation, recommend George Schaffer for legal services. You will get your money's worth and peace of mind knowing your loved one is in good hands.

Great Lawyer who responds always!

Mr. Shaffer is the best lawyer I have ever dealt with. He represented my son numerous times and every time I called him, he would respond back to me quickly. He is very intelligent and I would trust his abilities and advice. He speaks Spanish too! I highly recommended Mr.Shaffer.
