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.

Mr. Schaefer answered my call directly the first time I called him, something that's never happened when I have contacted attorney's. He was upfront and direct that he couldn't help me because he only represents lawsuits against private companies but gave me recommendations and wished me luck. Great ...guy; wish I could have worked with him.

I am an attorney in my own right, but I don't have any experience with employment law and my wife needed representation on the heels of a wrongful termination. Elwyn walked us through the process from filing an unemployment claim, to complaint, to settlement. He responded to our questions quickly and... I think he genuinely cared about my wife's well-being. We reached settlement, which was the right outcome for us, in light of the circumstances. Opposing counsel worked for a gigantic global law firm and they had all of the resources to show for it; still this did not phase Elwyn. I hope to never need his services again, but if I did, or if any of my friends needed him, I would not hesitate to hire him again.

I hired Elwyn to review a severance agreement with my former employer and he was outstanding. He brought my attention to details that I had not thought about such as letters of reference, and compensation for work after my resignation. He was also very clear about what was possible, likely and unlike...ly in the negotiations. He was available when I needed him to be which was not always during normal business hours. I would highly recommend him for employment law.

My business and I have utilized Elwyn Schaefer as legal counsel on various employment projects including: (i) employment contracts with non-compete clauses, (ii) termination agreements, (iii) and workman's comp issues. Mr. Schaefer is quite efficient in answering my questions with precise explanatio...ns, and basis for these answers. This responsive communication to understanding and helping is resolve employment issues is important to my organization, due to the pace in which our industry operates. Another major reason we utilize Mr. Schaefer is that he has many decades of experience in the employment law sector to draw from. I would recommend Elwyn Schaefer for any individual or business needing assistance in employment law issues.
