Elwyn F Schaefer

Elwyn was a rock for me during my unemployment appeal after my former employer refused to pay out benefits after terminating my employment under false accusations. I had never had to work with an attorney before (nor had I ever been fired before), so needless to say, the entire process was highly anx...iety-ridden and stressful. Mr. Schaefer consulted with me merely a week or two before my appeal hearing and was more than willing to take my case. We reviewed my documentation and he coached me on how I should conduct myself during the procedure, which I found incredibly helpful. On the day of my hearing, my former employer chose not to appear in person and called in for the hearing with Elwyn, myself and the Hearing Officer. He knew my case backward and front and knew how to direct testimony to highlight the statements made by my former employer that contradicted statements made in the documents filed earlier. He also asked my witnesses all the right questions which emphasized the inconsistency with the formal termination documents. All in all, Elwyn was not only effective, but compassionate and I couldn't have represented myself the way he represented me. I don't wish unemployment on anyone, but if you find yourself in need of an attorney, Mr. Schaefer should be your first choice. Thank you, Elwyn, for everything.

After one and a half frustrating years of being represented by another attorney for a wrongful termination claim, I retained Elwyn to replace my previous attorney due to poor performance. This decision turned out to be absolutely the right one. Elwyn reviewed the facts of my case and conveyed to me... what my options were using his extensive solid experience and knowledge in Employment Law. Elwyn was very attentive to my telephone calls and emails which he always responded to quickly. He approached my former employer’s attorney regarding my wrongful termination claim and the case was settled out of court within 6 months.

I was represented by Elwyn Schaefer in an Employment Discrimination/Retaliation case against a huge corporation. Our case was resolved in a 9 day trial, in which we prevailed. It was then appealed by both parties to the US Court of Appeals 10th Circuit who decided in our favor on all ten counts. ...We then settled by mediation with a federal judge; I worked with Elwyn for five years. Elwyn is an attorney of high integrity and standards. He is honest, supportive and extremely reliable. His experience and knowledge of Employment Law is unparalleled and is he is a skilled trial attorney. His client support was also invaluable. My case was handled with extreme attention to detail and care. There were always lines of open communication and he was very accessible. I immensely appreciated that he allowed me to be involved and an integral part in decision making. I felt extremely confident in the representation I received from beginning to end. Words can’t express my gratitude for how Elwyn’s dedication and commitment to my case made a horrible situation turn in to a positive outcome, in which I was made whole.

Mr. Schaefer was open and honest with me regarding my case from the start. He and I worked closely together for many months where often times Mr. Schaefer would give me an assignment to take care of in order to cut down on lawyer fees. This in turn gave me much satisfaction and determination alongs...ide him to ultimately win my case. I would hands down recommend Mr. Schaefer to those in need of legal advice. From his trusting reassurance and dedication to my case to his knowledge and understanding of the laws and court system were top notch and for that I am forever grateful.

Elwyn Shaefer has been an asset to our company for the past 20 years. He has handled every inquiry and case with professionalism and expertise. On occasions when time was of the essence, Elwyn responded either the same day or within 24 hours. His knowledge in the area of employment law is unsurpassed... and we would not hesitate to retain him for any and all employee related issues within his scope of knowledge and experience. Elwyn has a pleasant manner and is respectful of our client/attorney relationship.
