Nothing but good to say

I needed an attorney to negotiate a settlement for a lawsuit that was brought against me. Mr Schafer did a fine job of explaining my options and proceeding with the negotiation. He was able to acquire a very favorable settlement & had the court case dropped. I would recommend Daniel Michael Schafe...r any day!

D. Michael Schafer

Mr. Schafer is outstanding in his area of expertise. I was being sued and he took his time explaining the process to me, which put me at ease right away. I never had to go to court and ultimately, the case was dropped.

I would definitely recommend Mr Schafer

Mr Schafer has done an excellent job of representing us in credit card lawsuits. My wife and I have had four lawsuits brought by collection agencies or those type lawyers. Mr Schafer had won each of these suits. He was very affordable and explained in easy language what to expect. Others lawyers tol...d us that we would automatically lose. I would definitely recommend him to anyone with these type of suits.

One of the best lawyers I have ever worked with

When I was recently sued do to an unpaid debt, resulting from the Great Recession, Mr. Schafer was very proactive. He contacted me letting me know exactly what he could do for me. He laid out a plan of attack which would almost certainly assure victory. I hardly had to do anything in my defense. I to...ld him the truth about the debt and he took it from there. I would highly recommend Mr. Schafer to anyone in need of legal assistance. His fee was more than reasonable and his actions lead to a speedy resolution. I intend to turn to him if I am ever again in need of legal representation of any kind. I just wish I could afford to keep him on retainer.

Definitely one you can trust

I knew Daniel through a business to business relationship for 2 years before I was in need of his area of expertise and there was no hesitation from whom I would seek assistance. The way he served his clients and the results he gained for them was something I had seen from him on a regular basis. I... lost my ability to pay all my bills a few years ago and in time 3 of my creditors sued. Daniel was able to pursue legitimate avenues to resolve the issue without judgments being filed. One was through a potentially fraudulent/unethical practice by the creditor's affiliate and the others by recognizing illegal practices by the collectors. One of the most important areas of Daniel's service was to inform me of my rights which can be compromised by collectors because they know in most cases the debtor doesn't know what rights they have. This leaves many collectors emboldened to "rough you up" in order to get you to just agree to their demands. Hopefully I will not be in another predicament as I was but I certainly feel like a more informed consumer and now take extra care in decisions where it involves going into debt.
