Elwyn F Schaefer

I found myself in an unfortunate situation with a former employer regarding a severance agreement and a less than amicable separation, to put it lightly. I searched for countless hours and made numerous phone calls only to be greeted by a receptionist or an answering machine, leaving messages that we...re answered days, if not weeks later. Elwyn himself answered my initial phone call and was quick to schedule a meeting with me. Given the time sensitive nature of the issues I was facing, I needed someone who was going to respond with immediate counsel and support. Elwyn not only took the time to meet with me as soon as I was available, but he also took the weight off of my shoulders by answering all of my questions and reassuring me that he would take care of the situation as quickly as possible. Upon meeting with Elwyn, it became immediately evident that he had the knowledge, experience and professionalism needed to take on my case. With Elwyn's help, I was able to reach a point of resolution that I didn't initially imagine possible, given the circumstances and threatening nature of the claims against me. With Elwyn, you get what you pay for and can expect that he will do what it takes to make sure that your case is handled as quickly as possible. Additionally, he will align his plan of attack with your desired angle of approach while giving you the best counsel he can provide. I would recommend Elwyn to friends and family alike.

I was referred to Elwyn for an employment legal issue and his guidance, support and directive was excellent. He manages the emotion of the process very well and represented me with the utmost support and directive. I would highly recommend Elwyn for any person in need of legal services stemming fro...m employment issues given his vast experience, personal guidance, and knowledge of the law. Very grateful for his support during my case and was pleased with the outcome.

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.
