Surgery Consultation

We saw Alan for a consultation about a bad surgery that my Mom had. We talked about the steps that should be taken. I trust Alan very much, he has helped me before with other issues. He was my lawyer when I got hurt on an auto accident. He is very caring and explains very well what needs to be done. ...Thanks Alan for always helping.

Compassionate consultation- I like this guy!

In two minutes, I knew Alan is the kind of guy you want to live next door to. He came highly recommended from a friend who has been in law enforcement for 30 years. He is principle centered, and a compassionate human being. He was a great listener, and asked poignant and clarifying questions about ...my case. To ice the cake, he is a skilled and experienced attorney, who understands the law and all of the underpinnings that most of us don't deal with on a daily basis. I got expert advise, and I feel blessed to have met him. I know anyone searching for a personal injury attorney will not be disappointed!

Fortunate

Alan and his staff are extremely intelligent and experienced. They kept me updated and took the time to ensure I completely understood the process. My accident was unfortunate, finding Shafner Law I was very fortunate. Thanks!

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!
