Recommendation

It is a privledge to work with Ms. Shaffer. She is patient, kind, knowledgable and is always available to me via her team or directly as needed. She is well informed and offers compassion with wisdom during very difficult and trying times. Having Ms. Shaffer represent me has been such a great ex...perience. Her knowledge of family dynamics and elder law exhibits a level of understanding that is unequaled. Her professionalism is transparent as only the best can afford to be. Thank you for this opportunity to recommend and endorse Ms. Shaffer.

Avvo Rating

Our Rating is calculated using information the lawyer has included on their profile in addition to the information we collect from state bar associations and other organizations that license legal professionals. Attorneys who claim their profiles and provide Avvo with more information tend to have a higher rating than those who do not.

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.
