Posted by Lyndsey | February 27, 2023 | Hired Attorney | Bankruptcy & Debt

Easy to talk to, easy debt to handle

I unfortunately had to deal with debt due to covid lockdowns. My first correspondence was through Lisa I believe and she was very understanding to my horrible service where I live. I missed a few calls. It was easy to schedule a meeting with Mr. Schafer and when I got to spoke to him, he explained ho...w it all works and exactly what I would need to do on my part. There weren’t any hidden fees and he explained too that he’s worked with the Chase attorneys for quite a while. As I needed to continue speaking to the Schafer office to keep moving along to hire them, I had the pleasure of talking to Brandi. She was tremendously sweet and helpful and explained everything thoroughly even more so I understood Chase’s side and how quickly I’d need to move so they don’t make it worse for me. Everything she said was true. We actually spoke for quite a while and had to have an interruption to get us off the phone. I loved talking to her! She even went through Mr. Schaefer’s history as an attorney. From that point on, it was all a piece of cake. An email notification here and there to sign documents, a text to remind me of the docs sent (thank God for that because of my bad connection), and also phone calls just to remind me so that my case doesn’t get stressful. Time is of the essence when dealing with banks. The Schafer staff works very quickly. I don’t even know how because they’ve got to have these cases left and right. I’m glad I chose them. The previous attorney I spoke to did not help with anything. Didn’t educate me and was pushing me into bankruptcy and then finally pushing me to talk to other attorneys. It was odd. Other attorneys never replied. Everyone at the Schafer office just sound like people you could enjoy coffee or wine with. If anyone needs an attorney to deal with a bank, I will be suggesting Schafer.

Lyndsey, Thank you for the kind words and for writing a review. You have a lot of company in dealing with a lawsuits. A lot of people fell behind on debts because of covid. The banks and debt buyers paused briefly then started filing a lot of debt lawsuits. We are very happy to hear that your experiences with our staff members were all positive. Sometimes we overcommunicate, so we're especially glad to hear that you didn't mind all of our different processes we use to communicate with our clients at different stages. Let us know if you're ever near us to enjoy some good conversation and coffee or wine. Thanks again! - The Schafer Law Firm Team

Thank you Daniel

I can’t think you enough for you professionalism starting with my first call to get advice from your team. I am amazed how fast you were able to win my case. My cousin who referred me said you are the best before I called. You said you are the best and you proved it. I will continue to recommend you ...to anyone I know in this situation. Once again thank you. You are the best.

John, You are very welcome and thank you for your review! I've been helping people with collection harassment and debt lawsuits for 17 years. I'm grateful that your cousin referred you to me and that we were able to help you. I accept your compliment of being THE BEST because I know my team is honest and gives our clients all the information while being backed up by my record of winning over 99% of the cases I litigate which gives us leverage to know the best settlement offers and know what our flat fee will be and putting that in our contract. There are no unknown fees with us. Thanks again! - Daniel Schafer & The Schafer Law Firm Team
