Kelly Marie Shaffer

Ms. Shaffer represented my case in court and was exemplary in and out of the courtroom. I received what I requested regarding child custody and child support. She is very professional in court and you can tell she is well respected by the judge and her peers. Ms. Shaffer is also very courteous and... friendly. I felt that I could ask her anything and she would take the time to answer any question I had. She's the best there is!

Ms. Shaffer was so helpful during a painful and confusing process. Having to deal with divorce issues is never something that you think you will find yourself dealing with. I am very appreciative of Ms Shaffer's ability to provide advice and also understand the many emotions I experienced during th...e process. She is honest and works very hard to get the best result possible for you. Would definitely hire her again if I ever needed her.

Ms Shaffer is truly an expert on this very difficult area of law. She is knowledgeable and not afraid of the fight if the fight is necessary. She told me the straight facts regardless of whether it was what I wanted to hear. Her staff is also excellent and very helpful. I highly recommend this f...irm.

Hiring Ms Shaffer was a mistake on my part; she was consistently ill prepared for court, late for court, and other than lighten my bank account by several thousand dollars, she did not do a thing for me. She advised me to file useless motions that only served to pad hr bill and she escalated the stre...ss level of this divorce tenfold. I got the distinct impression that my divorce and custody issues only mattered to her as long as she could drag this case out and bill me for it. My best interests were a non issue for her.

Although personable and prominent in downtown San Diego, I found my experience with this firm less than satisfactory. Half way through my simple enforcement of settlement case Kelly Shaffer raised her rate on me and on multiple occasions made mistakes on my invoices in her favor. My settlement was le...ss than she originally claimed I deserved and her bill was more than double. I do not recommend this firm.
