Posted by Michelle | June 16, 2015 | Personal Injury

Fantastic lawyer and a wonderful group of people!!

When I first met Alan Shafner I had been seriously injured in a motor vehicle accident in 2012. I was very scared and I didnt know what to do. I had spoken with other attorneys that actually turned my case away due to the lack of documented evidence. Alan agreed to help me. All the while being ve...ry honest and upfront with me about the complexity of the case, but yet very caring and reassuring. After eight surgeries, and a few long years Alan and his associates successfully resolved my case better than I could have ever hoped. He really fought for me and what was right. He Took an extremely difficult situation and walked me through it. I will always be grateful to Alan and everyone in his firm. Not only for their hard work, but most of all for their kindness and compassion. When you are faced with challenging, life changing injuries it is always comforting to have people who have your back. There is no one better!!!

A Lawyer Who Cares

I met Alan a little over a year ago and he helped me with my personal injury claim after my motor vehicle accident. He had a comfortable office, friendly staff, and was generally a charismatic attorney. He actually cared about my health and my financial standings after the wake of my tragedy. He wa...s always eager to answer my questions and was very knowledgeable about this area of the law; I can't believe he's had over 20 years of experience! I really like that he has a smaller business compared to other law firms, it makes his interactions with me, and I'm sure his other clients, so much more intimate - I never imagined being on a first name basis with an attorney!

What determines Avvo Rating?
  • Experience & background Years licensed, work experience, education
  • Legal community recognition Peer endorsements, associations, awards
  • Legal thought leadership Publications, speaking engagements
  • Discipline Disciplinary information may not be comprehensive, or updated. We recommend that you always check a lawyer's disciplinary status with their respective state bar association before hiring them.
