Fast, Easy, Caring

This firm took care of me from start to finish. I had not even been served yet but received an ad in the mail for this firm regarding my case. They were able to get a copy of all the information needed that was not given to me prior to reaching out. When I informed Brandi that this was my 2nd lawsuit... of this nature, she immediately wanted to ensure that the attorneys hired for that case were not going to screw me over. She gave me so much information that the other attorneys never mentioned or explained to me. I absolutely wish I found this firm for my first case. Everything was handled in about 1 month or less. Although this was a stressful situation, I am so thankful that Brandi and the rest of the team were able to help me help me navigate and resolve it. I absolutely recommend this firm.

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

Well Represented

When I received the notice on my front door that I was being sued; needless to say, sheer panic set in and I didn't have a clue as to what to do or who to call. I received a letter in the mail from the Schafer Law firm and needless to say, I made the call with a quickness. My initial conversation w...as with Brandy who made me feel as if I was speaking to my good girlfriend and assured me how things were going to work out just fine. Brandy put my mind at ease and needless to say, in speaking to Mr. Schafer, my mind was at total ease. The lawsuit was settled for far less than what they initially wanted and I owe it to Mr. Schafer. Just as I thought I was over my legal troubles, I receive another lawsuit from Portfolio Recovery. My call was to Mr. Schafer (obviously) and when he stated to me that he could handle this lawsuit as well, I didn't doubt that for one second. The lawsuit was dismissed and I owe it to Mr. Schafer. I could not recommend anyone with more integrity than the Schafer Law Firm.

Worry free

Daniel Schafer is a god sent for me I was being sued by a creditor finding Mr. Schafer took a load off of my shoulders when he took over my case I was already going through a lot my father having been told he had stage four cancer and not long to live so I was under a tremendous amount of stress and... I was so busy taking my father to dialysis and doctor appointments so having Mr. Schafer as my lawyer he took care of everything I had nothing to worry about and I could just focus on my father‘s health. Mr. Schafer got my lawsuit dismissed and I still have him representing me on some other debt collections I have. The people in his office are very helpful friendly and caring, awesome group of people. So thank you so much for your time and help Mr. Schafer may god bless you, your family and your employees.

Stop looking...stop worrying...hire Mr. Schafer today

I don’t even know where to begin but I’ll start with this, please hire Mr. Schafer! I was looking for a lawyer to help me settle a lawsuit with a credit card company and I had called around to several law offices. After the first two calls I was in a major panic because they use scare tactics to get ...you to work with them and it was completely off putting and unnecessary. I decided to call one more, Daniel Schafer. He was completely honest, put my mind at ease, and I felt like he was the first person to really listen without trying to scare me. I had never been sued before so this was completely terrifying because I had no idea how to even begin. He took all the worries away and gave me consult in how to settle the debt. His wife is super sweet and I had a chance to talk with her when Mr. Schafer wasn’t available and everything in my case was handled quickly. He was very communicative, professional, and I always knew I was in good hands. I can’t imagine working with anyone else and I will continue to refer him to anyone I know who’s looking for a lawyer who get things done. He not only got me an amazing settlement but he helped me put my mind at ease and handled everything quickly. I cannot thank him enough! So if you’re looking for a lawyer who is not only going to represent you but actually fight for you then hire Mr. Schafer. Life happens and sometimes staying on top of bills can catch up to you when unexpected changes happen but rest assured in his hands and let him help you get back on your feet. Thank you again for everything Mr. Schafer!!!!
